MULTI EFFECT HYDROLYSING/DRYING SYSTEM FOR BIOLOGICAL MATERIALS

摘要

A process (in one form a combustion process) involving the steam hydrolysis and steam drying of lignocellulosic materials after pretreatment(s) to minimise vitreous formations when combusted and subsequent downstream usage of such substantially hydrolysed and substantially dried materials to generate a combustible powder or a combustible gas. In a preformed form powdering and/or gasification can occur in the oxygen free steam environment and the pressure of the steam environment can assist injection into a gas turbine.
