项目摘要

Domestic oil and gas production is declining and the deployment of fracking within the UK has stalled. Therefore the UK needs new enhanced sources of clean energy. In 2014, 2.6 million tonnes (Mt) of Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) was exported from the UK and 14.7Mt of suitable input material was landfilled (source: Defra). In the same year, industrial energy consumption was 24Mt of oil equivalent (Mtoe), of this 8Mtoe was gas consumption (including blast furnace, coke oven, town and natural gas). (source: DECC - Energy consumption in the UK (2015)). Not all fossil gas burning industry uses the heat to generate steam, many industrial customers use the gas directly in their processes, and in contact with their product, and thus require the gas to be clean to avoid contaminating their product. Examples of some of these industrial applications would be; lime manufacture (kilns), brickwork manufacture (kilns), earthenware / potteries (kilns), grain drying and sugar beet drying. To enable these industries to prosper, a UK sourced low carbon clean alternative is needed. Conventional pyrolysis and gasification of RDF produces a hot syngas that has tars and oils contained within the gas stream. These tars and oils prevent the syngas being used for many applications. This new technology produces a clean syngas which will reduce: emissions associated with the transportation of RDF abroad; the fossil gas carbon release with the substitution of the clean renewable syngas; the fossil gas carbon emissions associated with electrical network losses in transmitting the power generated back to the UK. The amount of waste exported from UK as RDF in 2014 was 2.6Mt. Assuming a net average electrical potential of 0.6 MWh per tonne (RDF with a CV around 10 MJ/kg) provides an estimate of 1,560 GWh of potential electrical energy exported. In heat terms, assuming a thermal capacity of 1.2 MWh per tonne, this would estimate a loss of potential heat source from England of 3,120 GWh (source: CIWM). The development of the full scale integrated prototype pyrolysis and associated syngas clean-up system has demonstrated the concept of producing a clean contaminant free syngas. Through a 12 mth trial this project aims to exploit the technology development achieved to-date, and to demonstrate the robust, repeatable, and consistent production of syngas and substantiate the inputs to a financial model; to a degree of accuracy that technical assessors for funding, planning and permitting bodies will require; successful delivery of the project will enable the technology's commercialisation which will enable it to be part of the energy trilemma solution. Although there are other large gasification plants, one of the unique selling points of this development is that this patented (feed input to gas generation) small scale modular system can be built alongside the gas customer.

国内石油和天然气的产量正在下降，英国境内的压裂部署停滞不前。因此，英国需要新的增强清洁能源来源。 2014年，从英国出口了260万吨垃圾燃料（RDF），填埋了14.7mt合适的输入材料（来源：Defra）。同年，工业能源消耗为24mt石油当量（MTOE），这8mtoe是气体消耗（包括爆炸炉，焦炭烤箱，城镇和天然气）。（资料来源：DECC-英国的能源消耗（2015））。并非所有化石气体燃烧行业都使用热量来产生蒸汽，许多工业客户在其过程中直接使用气体，并与产品接触，因此要求气体清洁以避免污染其产品。其中一些工业应用的示例将是；石灰制造（窑炉），砖砌制造（窑炉），陶 /陶器（窑炉），谷物干燥和甜菜干燥。为了使这些行业能够繁荣发展，需要使用英国来源的低碳清洁替代方案。 RDF的常规热解和气化会产生一种热合官，该同性同性气具有焦油和油流中的油。这些焦油和油可以防止合成器用于许多应用。这项新技术会产生一种干净的合伙人，这将减少：与RDF在国外运输相关的排放；化石气碳释放，用清洁可再生合伙们取代；与电网络损失相关的化石气碳排放量将产生的功率传输回英国。 2014年从英国出口的RDF的废物数量为2.6mt。假设平均电势净为每吨0.6 MWH（CV约10 mJ/kg）的净平均电势可提供导出的潜在电能的1,560 GWH。用热术语，假设每吨热容量为1.2 MWH，这将估计英格兰的潜在热源损失为3,120 GWH（来源：CIWM）。全尺度集成原型热解的开发和相关的合式清洁系统已经证明了产生干净污染物的无污染物的概念。通过第12个月的试验，该项目旨在利用达到迄今为止的技术开发，并证明合伙人的强大，可重复和一致的生产并证实了财务模型的投入；在一定程度上，技术评估师的资金，计划和允许机构将需要；该项目的成功交付将使技术的商业化能够成为能源三元素解决方案的一部分。尽管还有其他大型气化厂，但该开发项目的独特卖点之一是，该专利（供气输入到天然气生成）可以与天然气客户一起建造小型模块化系统。
