Batch-wise operated retort using temporary storage of heat

Abstract

A batch of a substance, e.g., a biomass, is processed in a batch-wise operated retort under the application of heat. The substance releases a combustible process fluid during the processing. The process fluid is combusted for generating heat. The heat is supplied to the retort and / or stored in temporary heat storage in dependence on the progress of the processing for postponed heat supply to the retort.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention includes a complete processing system for processing products and its related process methods. The processing system is designed and configured for the purpose of batch processing the workpiece. Background technique [0002] In industrial technology, the reaction tank mainly has the following major uses: 1) as a storage device, 2) as a heat transfer medium to transfer heat to the processed material in the tank, 3) to seal the processed material in the tank to avoid surrounding It is polluted by impurities in the environment, such as air or other gases in the surrounding environment. 4) Collect the fluid generated by the reaction, that is, the gas or liquid generated by the reaction of the reactants in the reaction tank. Usually, the reactants contain one or several substances involved in the processing reaction. The reaction tank acts as a medium to transfer heat to the reactants, thereby raising the temperature of the reactants to a sp...

Problems solved by technology

[0017] Furthermore, the second solution has other operational disadvantages: the raw material to be processed needs to be carefully controlled, and the adjustment of the production phases of the retorts must also be very precisely timed

If the raw materials used are too different from the conditions required for production and processing, the existing equipment may not be able to complete the production and processing

Other uncertainties may also affect production
