Conventionally stored chips may produce undesired effects: eg. microbial growth, which may cause allergic reaction in persons touching chips during handling; decomposition of the dry matter causing
In this project a thorough investigation is conducted in characterisation of the soluble hemicellulose fraction produced during pretreatment of the biomass. This will increase our present knowledge of
The objective of the project has been participate in ensuring a better distribution of successful biofuel systems for domestic houses by developing design rules for such systems with or without an
The project was focused on the development of technically and commercially viable small (5 to 250 kWe) combined heat and power (CHP) plants involving a gas turbine fired directly by a pressurised
At the Amer power station, Geertruidenberg in southern Netherlands, the actual project was executed in which low quality demolition wood, is gasified. Originally the product gas was cooled, dedusted
A combined systems development and demonstration programme has been initiated in order to be able to identify the necessary and adequate preconditions of a profitable production of fuel willow (salix)
The digestion and detoxification of pyrolysis condensate and wet oxidised pyrolysis condensate was studied in different reactor systems: combined anaerobic and denitrifying UASB reactors, conventional
A dynamic model describing the anaerobic degradation of complex organic material, and codigestion of different types of wastes, was developed based a previously described model.
The aim of the project is to encourage the exchange of experience, transfer know how to R and D in connection to extraction and utilization of landfill gas for energy purposes.
The main aim of the project is to establish knowhow about thermal gasification of biomass - especially straw. This project will be focused on: 1) Decomposition of tar by non-catalytic processes. 2)
Based on preliminary design studies, an Indirectly Fired Gas Turbine (IFGT) was identified as a potentially attractive option for on-farm or village energy generation at scales around 200 kWel.
The 3-year project is part of a long-term strategic research programme with the aim of improving the efficiency and operation of biofuel-fired thermal conversion systems. The aspects of biofuel
