Hybrid biothermal conversion of biomass to methane
Combining biochemical and thermochemical gasification in the Biothermgas process results in an economic process with a higher conversion efficiency and a greater choice of feedstocks that can be processed than biological or thermochemical processes used separately. The biogasification component can receive high mositure feeds, can convert major portions of feed at low temperature and pressure, and can be used for methanation of synthesis gas. The thermochemical gasifier converts refractory organic residues from the anaerobic digesters and provides gases than can be used for heating, mixing, and simulating methanogenesis in the biological component. The operating parameters for gasification of Bermuda grass by the Biothermgas process and for gasification of municipal solid waste-sewage sludge blend by the Biothermgas process with biomethanation are reported.
