1 Bimass Steam Prcessing (BSP) Cnversin f Bimass t Cal by Steam Cnditining Dr. Gerge Francis Presented by Thmas Hffmann - BORDA

2 Live Energies: Missin and philsphy Play a cnstructive rle in the bi-ecnmy by: - Generating new industrial and bi-energy feedstcks - Nn-cnventinal activity areas - Prductin frm wasteland r underutilized land - Use f by-prducts as resurces Multicultural prjects: - Cnceptin - Financing - Cnsrtium building - Management f Implementatin

3 Live Energies and its Partners Live Energies GmbH, Germany Jatrpwer AG, Swizerland Live Energies (Kenya) Limited Live Energies Agr Services Private Limited Green.C SARL

4 Wrld-wide prject experiences Bimass prductin frm wasteland in Asia and Africa Expertise in evaluatin and research in energy crps Jatrpha, Cassava, Opuntia, Euphrbia tirucalli Prduct and by-prduct use strategies Wastes as a surce f carbn enriched prducts Bimass Steam Prcessing

5 Bical frm rganic wastes BSP prject Partners: EnBW Energie Baden-Würrttemberg AG, Germany (EnBW) Karlsruhe Institute f Technlgy, Germany (KIT) Live Energies GmbH, Germany (LE) The BSP prcess was invented at KIT (Prf. H. Bckhrn/ J. Steinbrueck) in a jint research prject with EnBW. The prcess has been awarded a EU patent in 2016 LE has been cntracted by EnBW t establish a demnstratin BSP plant The fllwing slides shw details n the relevance f BSP: Bi-waste and issues Bimass Steam Prcessing Prject

6 Bi-waste suitable fr BSP Organic waste, mainly f vegetable rigin Surces: husehlds, restaurants, markets, agriculture, fd industries

7 Bi-waste generatin in India Delhi ppulatin: ca. 10,3 Mi. bi-waste: 1,18 Mi t/a Klkata ppulatin: ca. 4,6 Mi. bi-waste: 0,49 Mi t/a Mumbai ppulatin: ca. 12,0 Mi. bi-waste: 1,21 Mi t/a India ppulatin: ca. 1,2 Mrd. bi-waste: ca. 109 Mi t/a Chennai ppulatin: ca. 4,3 Mi. bi-waste: 0,46 Mi t/a Bangalre ppulatin: ca. 4,3 Mi. bi-waste: 0,32 Mi t/a surce: - d-maps.cm - atlas.d-waste.cm - CPCB, India

8 Challenges Huge and increasing urban bi-waste and sewage generatin Dispsal currently in empty lands in urban suburbs Prblems: lack f space health risks, envirnmental issues, bad dur

9 Bimass Steam Prcessing superheated steam C atmspheric pressure min prduct: cal character carbn fractin/-density heating value bilgical activity hmgenus, drless, hydrphbic advantages: transprt csts strability range f applicatins incineratin, gasificatin activated carbn fertilizer CO 2 -sink

10 BSP prcess develpment Plant develpment frm labratry scale t pilt scale at KIT lab reactr small pilt reactr pilt plant up t 5 g up t 500 g/h up t 50 kg/h Batch - Discntinuus Semi - cntinuus cntinuus

11 BSP can handle varied bimass Wide range f bimass inputs tested BSP imitates natural calificatin but 3,5 x times faster sample temperature [ C] HHV DM [MJ/kg] CR [%] wd pellets ,04 72,9 wd pellets ,60 40,8 straw ,45 47,9 straw ,15 40,2 leaves ,76 66,4 leaves ,01 56,5 range peels ,24 56,3 bi-waste ,79 53,1

12 BSP pilt plant tested with sewage biwaste mixtures Successful drying f the input and increase in HHV btained sample dm [%] HHV (as is) [MJ/kg] sewage sludge wd pellets bi waste cal sludge+pellets cal sludge+bi waste

13 Prcess cmparisn BSP cmbines pyrlysis and HTC BSP Advantages: shrt reactin times, atmspheric pressure, cntinuus prcess, high misture input, dry prduct

14 Demstratin prject and timeline 2017/18 Establishment f a demnstratin plant with 2000 t/y thrughput capacity in Germany Site: waste treatment/ cmpsting site Raw material: mixed gardening, landscaping and husehld wastes 2018/19 Establishment f a plant with t/y at a suitable site in India, subsequent upscaling t t/y Targeted raw material: vegetable market wastes sewage sludge

15 Imprtant factrs fr success Availability f the required quantity f wastes n site Recgnitin f the fact that wastes present an envirnmental and health prblem due t Very lw energy cntent Bulk, high misture cntent High degradability, dispsal prblems in cities Their dispsal requires usually mre energy than they cntain Suitable valrisatin f the intake f such wastes Marketability f the dispsal prducts
