APPARATUS FOR LOCATION-INDEPENDENT TREATMENT OF BIOMASS

摘要

Within the scope of hydrothermal carbonization, biomass is converted to bio-coal and other products. Because biomass occurs at irregular intervals at different locations and also, in part, only individual method steps are required at different locations, however, an apparatus for treatment of biomass is integrated into a variable, mobile container, and mobile containers adapted to the individual steps of the method are provided, which can be transported in compact manner and can be adapted, in terms of size, in the setup situation. This arrangement allows effective equipping of the individual containers, which can be expanded into a setup situation on location.

主权项

1. An apparatus for location-independent treatment of a biomass comprising:
(a) a mobile container having a pressure vessel for accommodation of the biomass; and (b) a plurality of wall elements enclosing the mobile container; wherein the wall elements are rotatable about at least one axis of rotation or are moveable outwards in at least one push direction from a transport position to a setup position achieved via rotation or outward movement; and wherein the wall elements in the setup position enclose a setup volume, the wall elements in the transport position enclose a transport volume, and the setup volume is larger than the transport volume.
