Technology offer - 3D printing of sorbents and catalysts

After several breakthroughs in the field of additive manufacturing, ECN has managed to 3D-print sorbents and catalyst support structures. This results in far more design freedom for reactors, catalysts and sorbents compared to the state-of-the-art. This knowledge enables the development of significantly more efficient conversion processes in the...

Performance and population analysis of a non-sterile trickle bed reactor inoculated with caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus, a thermophilic hydrogen producer

Non-axenic operation of a 400 L trickle bed reactor inoculated with the thermophile Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus, yielded 2.8 molH 2mol hexose converted. The reactor was fed with a complex medium with sucrose as the main substrate, continuously flushed with nitrogen gas, and operated at 73°C. The volumetric productivity was 22 mmolH2(L...

The effect of air preheating on the combustion of solid fuels on a grate

Combustion of solid fuels on a grate is widely used. Mostly, the combustion behaviour is explained by the classical theory of Rogers. However, that theory cannot explain the combustion process when primary air preheating is applied. Solid fuel grate combustion is studied by experiments in a pot furnace. Experiments with and without primary air...
