DEVICE FOR HYDROTHERMAL CARBONIZATION OF BIOMASS

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for hydrothermal carbonization of biomass (2), comprising a reaction tank (4) that heats a reaction chamber (3). A pipeline (5) connected to the reaction chamber (3) is provided in the device (1). The pipeline (5) comprises a condensation section (6) for water vapor, which in the operating state enters the pipeline (5) from the reaction chamber filled with biomass (2). The pipeline (5) leads the condensate (17) produced at the condensation section (6) back into the reaction chamber (3). The pipeline (5) comprises a buffer section (7) for receiving gas, wherein said buffer section communicates with the reaction chamber (3). A control element (9) for setting the pressure (P) in the pipeline (5) is provided in the device (1).
