SEP - Slurry Experimental Plant

Characterization of fuel suspensions

Description:

With the Suspension Experimental Plant - SEP process relevant information for the bioliq® pilot plant in terms of different handlings and storage of biomass based suspensions (Slurrys) are investigate, in order to characterize the behavior and optimize the slurry-handling.

Goal of the investigations is to test measuring technique, pipe geometries and materials concerning there long term process stability. Further restart procedures of pump and stirrer after a breakdown are investigated while using suspensions.
