Energy From Vast Biomass 26, SCW Gasification etc • -->> cont; •3 MAINLY NONWOOD WASTE: 3f Gasification: "Value added" combustion: • ii-Sub-SuperCritical Water gasification(SCW) : done quietly since early 1980s in Japan ◎(Mitsubishi Kakoki, Mitsubishi Nagasaki Machinery)(US operators seem to have gone underground at that time), or recent participation ◎(Hydromethan, Gensos nl, Osaka Gas+): SCW can be more easily turned to liquid fuels, directly, or by reforming. Also a few of ◎ marked companies in biomass section of this presentation seem to offer some form of Hydrothermal combustion of coal while Chinese state companies' in-house system seem to be leading by combining Coal Water Slurry element(p40-43). • On the other hand, across the board water tech advanced Russia is blocking many innovative academics' much more disruptive hydrodynamic cavitation related advanced SCW tech, almost no native Russian commercialization offered? • iii-Complete thermal oxidation: of all organic waste with no emission ie no chimney needed(Zeros inc/Ste Clark), microplasma link(p127,128). •
3g Gasification+Reforming/Catalytic conversion to Liquid fuel(GTL: Gas to Liquid), Methane to gasoline etc: Close relation or often same tech as wood/Coal to liquid fuel: Succeeding commercialization on & off since 1940s(Germany, Japan+), then extensively in 1960s-90s South Africa: at one time almost all gasoline was made from coal via Fischer-Tropsch(F-T) process(Sasol+), More recent entry(Accelergy, Fluor, Thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions+), ->> cont 124
