Energetic and Exergetic Performances of a Retrofitted, Large-Scale, Biomass-Fired CHP Coupled to a Steam-Explosion Biomass Upgrading Plant, a Biorefinery Process and a High-Temperature Heat Network
De Meulenaere, Roeland; Maertens, Tim; Sikkema, Ale; Brusletto, Rune; Barth, Tanja; Blondeau, Julien (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper aims at assessing the impact of retrofitting an existing, 730 MWe, coal-fired power plant into a biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plant on its energetic and exergetic performances. A comprehensive ... -
Identification and quantification of valuable platform chemicals in aqueous product streams from a preliminary study of a large pilot-scale steam explosion of woody biomass using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Ghoreishi, Solmaz; Løhre, Camilla; Hermundsgård, Dag Helge; Molnes, Joakim Lindgaard; Tanase-Opedal, Mihaela; Brusletto, Rune; Barth, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Steam explosion breaks down the polymeric matrix and enables the recovery of valuable compounds from lignocellulosic feedstock. In the steam explosion process, biomass is treated with high-pressure steam which subsequently ... -
Investigating solids present in the aqueous stream during STEX condensate upgrading—a case study
Hermundsgård, Dag Helge; Ghoreishi, Solmaz; Opedal, Mihaela Tanase; Brusletto, Rune; Barth, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Steam explosion (STEX) of woody biomass is an efficient pretreatment method in the production of water-resistant wood pellets. The STEX process also generates an aqueous condensate stream containing dissolved organic ... -
A Workup Protocol Combined with Direct Application of Quantitative Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Aqueous Samples from Large-Scale Steam Explosion of Biomass
Løhre, Camilla; Underhaug, Jarl; Brusletto, Rune; Barth, Tanja (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Methods for thermochemical conversion of biomass into renewable energy and materials rapidly increase in range and outreach. A focus on the target product streams for valorization is natural, yet several pretreatment steps ...
