TORWASH - Design And Optimization Of A Hydrothermal Process To Convert Organic Residues Into A Fuel

project information

project description

In this project, a novel process developed and patented by the Torwash company, to convert wet organic residues into a solid feedstock for heat and power generation or production of biochemicals, is investigated numerically and optimized. The process is performed under elevated temperature and pressure, and the water is used as a reaction medium for the hydrolysis to separate solid and liquid fractions. By processing and reusing the liquid fraction to cover the energy demands of the process, a zero-waste energy neutral technology is achieved.
