Giuseppe Toscano in OpenAIREAbstract Bioenergy is one of the main contributors in the renewable energy markets but the quality of solid biomass is often a concern. This study provides an application of the ISO 18135 on biomass sampling, evaluating how sampling procedure affects the analytical results and suggesting possible solutions to reach an acceptable level of precision for quality assessment. A sampling plan compliant with the aforementioned standard was carried out in a 21 MW biomass power plant located in Northern Italy in August and February, collecting samples of different typology from heaps stored in the plant and from trucks coming from suppliers. Moisture content analysis was performed for all the samples, and for those from heaps ash and nitrogen contents were also investigated. Considering moisture content, to achieve a good precision, a significantly different number of increments are needed in August and February. Regarding ash content, it would be impossible to obtain the precision suggested by the standard, because it would lead to a number of increments not in line with practical operations. Nitrogen content is not a concern in this case, because of the measured low values. In general terms, precision values suggested by ISO 18135 require a high effort by operator and resulted unsuitable in terms of practical application for moisture and ash contents. This is probably due to the different solid biomass considered during the standard development. For this reason, it is important to assess the quality of the different solid biofuels in order to tune the sampling procedure accordingly.

The addition of ethanol into Diesel fuel affects some key properties such as the blend stability, the cetane number or the flash point, the fuel formulation was thus improved. The remaining weak ignitability of the blends requires an engine settings optimization, which associated to the high oxygen content allows a combine reduction of smoke levels and NOx emissions, with a contained fuel consumption penalty.

The reduction of the dioxin levels in the exhausts of today waste-to-energy plants relies on the control of the thermo-fluid-dynamic processes occurring within the combustion chamber, rather than on policies aimed at restricting the amount of chlorine in the waste material to be treated. This is a consequence of the fact that waste-to-energy plants currently receive the bulk of discarded PVC and other chlorine sources that are deliberately burned in order to increase the waste heating value. Indeed, severe law regulations are into force in many industrialised countries, posing constraints on the value of some relevant in-chamber thermo-fluid-dynamic variables, such as temperature and residence time of the gases resulting from the combustion process, whose accurate experimental monitoring is extremely expensive and difficult to achieve. The present work analyses the shortcomings of the methods generally employed in full scale plants for the verification of the temperature and residence time of gases produced during the combustion process, and presents the advantages of using a new procedure developed by authors, based on the numerical simulation of the waste combustion process to optimise monitoring of the quantities of interest. The verification of the developed model, which accounts for both the solid and the gaseous phases, and for the various modes of heat and mass transfer between these phases, is obtained through a comparison with the results of an experimental campaign carried out on a full scale plant in Italy. The temperature distribution in the combustion chamber is calculated considering various waste compositions, and both forced and mixed convection. In fact, it is also shown that neglecting buoyancy effects may lead to appreciable errors.

Sebastien Caillat in OpenAIREAbstract Co-firing of biomass with pulverised coal at existing coal power stations remains a practical option available to power plant operators and is being widely adopted as one of the main technologies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, there is a range of technological problems that are not well understood. This paper presents experimental investigations into the co-firing of pulverised coal directly co-milled with 5–20% biomass on a 3 MWth Combustion Test Facility. A number of combustion parameters, including flame temperature and oscillation frequency and particle size distribution, were measured under a range of co-firing conditions. The gas species within the flame and fly ash in flue gas were also sampled and analysed. The experimental data collected are used to study the impact of biomass additions to pulverised coal on the combustion characteristics of the co-firing process. The relationships between the flame characteristics, gas species and ash deposition of the furnace are investigated. The results suggest that, due to the varying physical and chemical properties of the biomass fuels, the biomass additions have impact on the combustion characteristics in a very complicated way. It has been found that the biomass addition to coal would improve the combustion efficiency because of the lower CO concentrations and higher char burnout level in co-firing. In addition, NOx emission has been found closely linked to the flame stability, and SOx emission reduced in general for all co-firing cases.

Abstract Several environment agencies worldwide have identified biofuels as a viable solution to meet the stringent targets imposed by future regulations in terms of on-road transport emissions. In the last decades, petroleum-based gasoline has been increasingly blended with oxygenated fuels, mostly ethanol. Blending ethanol with gasoline has two major effects: an increase of the octane number, thus promoting new scenarios for engine efficiency optimization, and a potential reduction of soot emissions. 3D-CFD simulations represent a powerful tool to optimize the use of ethanol-gasoline blends in internal combustion engines. Since most of the combustion models implemented in 3D-CFD codes are based on the “flamelet assumption”, they require laminar flame speed as an input. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the gasoline-ethanol blend chemical behavior at engine-relevant conditions is crucial. While several laminar flame speed correlations are available in literature for both gasoline and pure ethanol at ambient conditions, none is available, to the extent of authors’ knowledge, to describe laminar flame speed of gasoline-ethanol blends (for different ethanol volume contents) at engine relevant conditions. For this reason, in the present work, laminar flame speed correlations based on 1D detailed chemical kinetics calculations are derived targeting typical full-load engine-like conditions, for different ethanol-gasoline blends. A methodology providing a surrogate able to match crucial properties of a fuel is presented at first and validated against available experimental data. Then, laminar flame speed correlations obtained from 1D chemical kinetics simulations are proposed for each fuel blend surrogate.

Abstract Wood pellets were pyrolyzed using a microwave oven and different microwave power, apparatus set-up and microwave absorbers (none, Fe, and carbon). Pyrolysis was realized in a short time in the presence of Fe or carbon while it was incomplete if the absorber was not present. Furthermore when the absorber was present the shape of the pellets remained unaltered while if the absorber was not employed pellets were disaggregated. Three fractions were collected from each pyrolysis: a gas, a liquid also called bio-oil and a solid called bio-char. The bio-oil contained two phases and they were quantitatively characterized through a GC/MS-FID procedure using an internal standard according to a previously reported method. HPLC/MS, FTIR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy were also employed for characterization of these liquids. Cellulose pyrolysis products were present in the upper phase such as water, acetic acid, furans (such as furfural), carbohydrates and their derivatives. Compounds from pyrolysis of lignin such as phenols and veratric acid were present in the bottom phase. The microwave assisted pyrolysis showed the possibility to efficiently convert wood pellets in different products. The main economical important components may be separated and used as chemicals, natural drugs or pesticides, while the remaining components, the solid and the gas may be used for energy production (solid and bio-oil). Solid may be also used for carbon sequestration.

Antonio Donatelli in OpenAIREThis paper presents experimental and numerical results on steam gasification of waste tyres in a rotary kiln pilot plant. Both the process performance and the gas features have been evaluated varying the feeding ratio (FR), defined as the steam/tyres mass ratio. First, several experimental tests have been performed. Then, the obtained experimental results have been used to verify the consistency of a numerical model developed with the aid of the commercial code ChemCAD . Once done, the effect of increasing the FR on the gas energy content has been evaluated. Numerical results showed that the gas energy content increases as the FR increases as well, achieving a maximum value for FR = 0.33 that produced a gas which composition N2 free is (H2 = 52.7%vol, CO = 18.1%vol ,C O 2 = 7.0%vol ,C H 4 = 22.2%vol) in correspondence of which the lower heating value (LHV) is equal to 29.5 MJ kggas � 1 . Higher FR values do not produce a further increase of the gas energy content, rather require a greater amount of input energy for heating the steam from the atmospheric to the process temperature.

Studies consider the influence of biofuels on the decarbonization of the transport system not negligible. The employment of fossil fuels with an even higher degree of renewable biofuel content, produced with a mature technology process, such as the Hydrotreated Vegetable Oils (HVO), are expected to increase. The research community expects valuable research results to exploit the HVO characteristics in ultra-low emission vehicles equipped with internal combustion engines. In this context, new findings in setting combustion control parameters through proper experimental design are carried out on a modern internal combustion engine architecture. An advanced injection system capable of precise close-coupled multiple injections per cycle was utilized. Steady-state engine operating conditions were selected for this experimental study. Combustion, efficiency, and engine-out emissions indicators with HVO fuel are compared with standard diesel. For assessing the difference in combustion stages, a second derivative method data analysis was performed. It is found that in comparison to diesel fuel, HVO significantly reduces regulated engine-out emissions at the same efficiency and EU 6c NOx emissions targets. To this aim, a specific set of engine control parameters were adopted. The PM decreased up to 10 %, corresponding to 0.18 g/kWh, while the CO reduced by about 7-8% in the range of 0.2-0.5 g/kWh. The decrease of the total PN ranges between 10 and 55%, depending on the control strategy and test point, and the particle distribution shifts towards smaller particle sizes. Outstanding improvements of the NOx-soot trade-off are verified, which in turn demonstrates the capability to operate the engine at post-EU6 NOx conditions without performance and comfort penalties. Engine-out CO and HC emission reductions are confirmed.
