METHOD AND PLANT FOR CONVERTING SOLID BIOMASS INTO ELECTRICITY

摘要

A method and plant for converting solid biomass into electricity by means of a gasifier/fuel cell combination comprising: introducing solid biomass and a gasification medium into the gasifier, introducing a product gas from the gasifier into a particle separator to produce a product gas with low particulate content, introducing the product gas into a reactor for catalytic conversion, introducing the product gas into a sulfur absorber, and then introducing the product gas into a fuel cell for generating electrical energy, wherein the particle separator and reactor are in a single apparatus and a by-pass control is used for adjusting the catalytic conversion in respect of the product gas with low particulate content. In a plant, the particle separator apparatus includes catalytically coated or active monoliths wherein the full or partial catalytic conversion of the gas that has been freed of particulates proceeds.
