Innovative Energy Conversion from Biomass Waste

by Arif Darmawan (Editor), Muhammad Aziz (Editor)

Overview

Innovative Energy Conversion from Biomass Waste offers a new approach to optimizing energy recovery from waste using thermochemical conversion. Instead of conventional pinch technology, the book proposes integrated systems employing exergy recovery and process integration technologies to minimize exergy loss due to entropy generation. This innovative approach is demonstrated in three case studies using high-potential low-rank fuels from industrial waste products with high moisture content, high volatile matter, and high hemicellulose content. From these case studies, readers are provided with three different examples of biomass type, pre-treatment route, and conversion, from fruit bunch cofired within existing coal power plants, black liquor in a stand-alone system, and rice waste processing integrated into existing agricultural systems.

Innovative Energy Conversion from Biomass Waste is a valuable resource for researchers and practitioners alike, and will be of interest to environmental scientists, biotechnologists, and chemical engineers working in waste-to-energy and renewable energy.

• Provides a new approach to developing systems based on exergy recovery and process integration technologies
• Discusses the possible routes of energy recovery in different scenarios from selected low-rank fuels from industrial waste biomass
• Includes a replicable and applicable efficiency improvement method for different process developments
