SORPTION-ENHANCED REFORMING - SER
CONSORTIUM
CCT: Catalytic cracking of tars from an indirectly
heated gasifier to below green C8 maximizing
the BTX productivity.
Sorption Enhanced Reforming (SER): by integrating a high temperature CO2 sorbent in the reforming step, SER allows to efficiently convert the syngas into H2 while separating CO2.
Target: An EHC system that extracts and compresses H2 at >99.5% purity to 50 bar in a single step and at a primary energy consumption down to 12 MJ/kg H2.
By incorporating a membrane into the methanol reactor, the selective removal of methanol and water boosts the driving force for methanol synthesis.
Target: Validate the Enhanced Membrane Methanol synthesis with single pass conversion > 33% reducing the size of the methanol reactor.
Electrochemical Hydrogen Compression (EHC)
Target: The adoption of Sorption Enhanced Reforming will reduce the energy intensity of the H2 production and CO2 separation from 2 MJ/kgCO2 (current technologies) down to 1.2 MJ/kgCO2.
Recovery of BTX (Benzene, Toluene, Xylene):• BTX represent valuable components in the product gas• TNO has developed a BTX scrubbing technology based on a
proprietary liquid, suitable for any producer gas• Valuable bio-BTX improve process economy• Mini pilot unit able to process 5 Nm3/h dry product gas with a
BTX removal > 95 vol% and quantitative removal of higher aromatic compounds
Conventional
Membrane assisted
Target: The syngas
treatment process will
guarantee a
carbon/hydrogen purity
above 99% which is 5%
higher than current
technologies, allowing 17%
larger overall carbon usage.
The CONVERGE project will validate an innovative process which will increase the biodiesel production by 12% per secondary biomass unit used and reduce the capital investment cost by 10%.
The CONVERGE technologies will be validated for more than 2000cumulated hours taking these from the discovery stage (TRL3) to development stage (TRL5).
