DIMETHYL ETHER SYNTHESIS FOR BIOGAS CONVERSION USING DIFFERENT HEATING TECHNIQUES

摘要

The aim of this study is the production of an environmentally friendly fuel (Dimethyl ether-DME) that uses the biogas produced in the anaerobic digestion (AD) from grass silage liquor as a feedstock. Reforming of biogas to synthesis gas (syngas) is a highly endothermic process. Alternative methods of heating (traditional electrical furnace and a 2kW induction heating (radiofrequency) unit for low and high pressure) are being investigated for less carbon deposition and energy savings.
