There are nearly 100 professionals working at
VTT around the fluidised bed technology
platform
Combustion, gasification and pyrolysis
processes share the common ”process heart” -
fluidised bed
The main differences between processes are
mostly related to the temperature levels and
gas atmosphere
Process integrations, close co-operation with
industry & excellent experimental capabilities
Catalytic processes, CFD modeling and
Techno-economic calculation competences to
support thermal conversion process

HOT GAS FILTRATION
• Hot gas filtration R&D focused on filter
blinding phenomenon.
• Experimental work with a bench-scale
pressurised hot gas filtration unit ALMA.
• The main variables to be studied:
• Filtration temperature and pressure
• Particulate and tar concentrations
• Use of different sorbents and additives

Base case layout for
synthetic biofuels
production allows:
• 50 – 60 % fuel
efficiency and
• up to 80 % overall
efficiency.
These numbers are
among the best in the
industry.

Despite the high energy efficiency, about half of the feedstock carbon needs to
be rejected from the process, as there is not enough hydrogen to convert it into
fuels.
The traditional conversion route is therefore hydrogen constrained.

But the surplus carbon is in the form of CO2, instead of CO!
Implications:
- Only methane and methanol have reaction route via CO2
- More H2 is required to produce one mole of fuel from CO2 than from CO.
- CO2 has higher activation energy than CO => more catalyst needed
- Byproduct water from CO2 hydrogenation inhibits methanol catalysts

Despite challenges related to CO2 hydrogenation, the potential increase in
fuel output is enormous:
Fuel output can be easily doubled from the base case… and in some cases
almost tripled!
