MFPP Installation
The applied MFPP installation converts secondary fuels into a gas, replacing natural gas. The setup of this reference installation is a containerized version of the flow scheme as presented below.
The applied MFPP installation converts secondary fuels into a gas, replacing natural gas. The setup of this reference installation is a containerized version of the flow scheme as presented below.
At the heart of the system lies a reactor with electric direct internal heating
(centerless screw) for heat transfer with the following features:
• Precise temperature control (even over 900 °C)
• Precise control of residence time
• The ability to vary the reaction temperature and residence time so that the product composition may be tailored to market requirements and allow adjustment without going out of operation
• The ability to tweak the production for seasonal or day / night variations in the demand for these particular products
• Low power consumption
• High reliability
• Self-cleaning
• Reactor process under atmospheric conditions
• Small required footprint
• High throughput with relatively small reactor volume
Technology
The technology is based on an exclusive process for thermal treatment. The reactor is equipped with a low voltage electrically heated worm screw conveyor. This worm screw heats the fuel stream as a result of the Joule effect. The fuel stream temperature is precisely controlled based on the screw temperature setting through the electronic temperature control system. The dwell (or residence) time is regulated by setting the screw rotation speed. This process optimizes the energy consumption. The reactor will quickly be heated by electricity (patented technology) to the nominal operating temperature. The fuel stream to be treated is then introduced into the reactor. Depending on its Low Heating Value, the fuel stream will immediately reach operating conditions. This reaction will be maintained at the nominal temperature of the reactor during production. This allows an exceptional and constant quality of the products, such as gas, Hydrocarbon Condensate, and SynCoal.
