METHOD FOR PERFORMING A HYDROTHERMAL CARBONISATION REACTION AND THE USE OF A SENSOR OR ANALYZER FOR SAME

摘要

It is the goal of a hydrothermal carbonization reaction to obtain the best possible yield of specific substances, for example the greatest possible carbon yield. However, biomass of very different types and grades is fed into the process, so that the reaction can take place very differently within each individual batch. Influencing the process is generally problematical, because the process proceeds in closed manner. For this reason, it is proposed to assign a sensor or an analysis device for the total organic carbon for the dissolved organic carbon, or for fractions of the total organic carbon. An adaptation of the process parameters can then be undertaken manually or by way of a process controller, as a function of the sensor's measurement results.
