Download or read book Flow and Mixing Optimization of an Existing Biogas Plant through CFD Simulation and Velocity Measurements Prepared written by Obada Yaghi and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2016 in the subject Engineering - Mechanical Engineering, grade: 94%, German Jordanian University (hosted by Hamburg University of Technology), language: English, abstract: This research project enables further development and improvement of the mixing efficiency in an existing biogas plant, by utilizing CFD simulation as well as a newly developed flow sensor in addition to supportive laboratory tests. The flow was analyzed considering the following variables: The mixing time, the Dry Matter (DM) content, the positioning of the agitators and how it can be related to the amount of velocity dead-zones. The velocity measurements took place at the biogas plant of the company Ardestorfer Bioenergie GmbH in the district of Buxtehude. The current plant capacity is approximately 1.6 MWel using animals manure, energy crops as well as agricultural residuals. In order to be able to perform the CFD simulation, a complete 3D model had to be done of the examined fermenter and the mixing agitators. Moreover, the current setup including fluid properties, boundary and initial conditions had to be taken into consideration. Velocity measurements were used as a validation approach for the simulation results, furthermore to acquire an overview of the flow behavior over the investigated mixing period. Firstly, it was found that at higher DM content the flow seemed to be more stable, and the velocity values get quite higher at the examined points. Moreover, at higher DM content (9.35% compared with 8.8%) the velocity dead-zones seemed to be approximately 70% less. Secondly, another approach was considered to improve the mixing and to minimize the dead-zones by changing the position of the main agitator. The new scenario showed fewer dead-zones by approximately 65% according to the CFD model. Thirdly, at all scenarios and setups, the flow seemed to reach the maximum possible velocity, and rather motion distribution after 150-180 seconds. Showing no remarkable improvement after this period. The mentioned findings were concluded based on comparisons between different velocity measurements as well as CFD simulation results at different operating conditions and setups. Being able to offer proper recommendations for a better energy efficiency in terms of lower energy consumption and better mixing all over the fermenter.

Download or read book A Spatial MAS Simulation to Evaluate the Promotion of Electricity from Agricultural Biogas Plants in Germany written by Giovanni Sorda and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we investigate how changes in the support scheme may affect electricity generation from agricultural Combined Heat and Power (CHP) biogas plants in Germany. A recursive Multi-Agent System (MAS) for investment decision-making is coupled with GIS data. The spatial-temporal diffusion model accounts for the limited availability of substrate resources, alternative plant sizes and different heat use combinations. For illustration, we apply the model to the German federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Bavaria, for which we estimate an additional economic capacity potential of 409 MWel. Overall, we conclude that current feed-in payments per unit of electric power provided are probably not too far off the optimum level, if one considers the maximum diffusion of CHP units possible. However, the current feed-in system may overtly favor small generating units, thereby failing to incentivize coordination among farmers for joint resource use in larger and more efficient plants. In addition, optimization of the biogas conversion process and feedstock use would also be highly beneficial.

Download or read book Technologies for Converting Biomass to Useful Energy written by Erik Dahlquist and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Officially, the use of biomass for energy meets only 10-13% of the total global energy demand of 140 000 TWh per year. Still, thirty years ago the official figure was zero, as only traded biomass was included. While the actual production of biomass is in the range of 270 000 TWh per year, most of this is not used for energy purposes, and mostly it is not used very efficiently. Therefore, there is a need for new methods for converting biomass into refined products like chemicals, fuels, wood and paper products, heat, cooling and electric power. Obviously, some biomass is also used as food – our primary life necessity. The different types of conversion methods covered in this volume are biogas production, bio-ethanol production, torrefaction, pyrolysis, high temperature gasifi cation and combustion. This book covers the suitability of different methods for conversion of different types of biomass. Different versions of the conversion methods are presented – both existing methods and those being developed for the future. System optimization using modeling methods and simulation are analyzed to determine advantages and disadvantages of different solutions. Many international experts have contributed to provide an up-to-date view of the situation all over the world. These global perspectives and the inclusion of so much expertise of distinguished international researchers and professionals make this book unique. This book will prove useful and inspiring to professionals, engineers, researchers and students as well as to those working for different authorities and organizations.
