METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCTION OF HYDROCARBON FROM BIOMASS

摘要

Disclosed is an apparatus for producing a hydrocarbon from a biomass such as a glass or wood, which comprises: a biomass gasification unit (101) for feeding a raw material biomass (MB) and an overheated water vapor (S) for gasifying the biomass and a fuel biomass (FB) and air (A) for burning the fuel biomass, thereby producing a mixed gas (G) mainly composed of hydrogen and carbon monoxide; a clean-up means (201) for purifying the mixed gas (G); a gas tank (301) for storing the cleaned-up mixed gas (G) temporarily; a pressurizing pump (401) for pressurizing the mixed gas (G); and a hydrocarbon synthesis unit (501) for converting the pressurized mixed gas (G) into a hydrocarbon.
