摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for the continuous hydrothermal carbonization of sludge containing organic matter, comprising a hydrothermal reaction step carried out in a reactor (4) and having the following steps: - a sludge admission step in which sludge is admitted into the reactor (4) via a first inlet (11), - an endogenous steam injection step in which steam is injected into the reactor (4) via a second inlet (15) separate from the first inlet (11), - an extraction step in which at least a portion of the sludge contained in the reactor (4) is continuously extracted via a sludge outlet (16), - a preheating step in which the temperature of the sludge is raised, prior to its admission into the reactor (4), to a preheating temperature of more than 70°C. The invention also relates to a device for implementing said method. |
