INTEGRATED MODULAR SYSTEM FOR THE TREATMENT AND VALORIZATION OF WET MARINE BIOMASS WITH HYDROGEN PRODUCTION, OXIDATIVE UTILIZATION AND INTERNAL REUSE OF RESOURCES.

Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated modular system for the treatment and valorization of wet marine biomass, preferably sargassum, with hydrogen production and internal resource reuse. The system comprises a pretreatment module that, through mechanical compression and moisture reduction, separates a valuable solid fraction from a residual liquid fraction; a thermochemical valorization module; an electrolysis module for the production of hydrogen and oxygen; and a water treatment module. Characteristically, the oxygen generated during electrolysis is reused to create a gaseous oxidizing agent for the internal treatment of leachate. The system may incorporate thermal integration for further moisture reduction and / or hydrothermal conditioning of wet biomass, defining a closed and energy-integrated process architecture for the valorization and internal treatment of waste streams.
