Abstract:
The bioliq® process converts fast growing lignocellulosic biomass into synthetic biofuels or chemicals. Results and mass balances of the fast pyrolysis pilot plant (2 MW), the first step of the process, have been published previously. These mass balances are typically determined for the whole fast pyrolysis operation period of up to several days by integrating the input and output streams over the duration of the experiment and analysing representative samples of each stream. By doing so, the data will contain start up and shut down procedures as well as discontinuities during operation, which affect the outcome. The scope of this study is to analyse online balancing of the fast pyrolysis pilot plant with the aim of evaluating data sensitivity in regard to the reliability of the produced data. The results of this study will allow better understanding of the scientific data basis for future process development and techno-economic studies based on fast pyrolysis technology and hence add to their significance.
