Economic Potential of Bio-Ethylene Production via Oxidative Coupling of Methane in Biogas from Anaerobic Digestion of Industrial Effluents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Brazil’s large biofuels industry generates significant amounts of effluents, e.g., vinasse from bioethanol, that can effectively be used as substrate for production biogas via Anaerobic Digestion (AD). The Oxidative Coupling Methane (OCM) is the heterogeneous catalytic oxidation methane into ethylene, which a main building block chemical industry. This work investigates potential and competitiveness bio-ethylene OCM using produced by biological anaerobiosis feedstock. proposed process add incentive to treat AD replace fossil thus potentially reducing emissions Greenhouse Gases (GHG). A model developed in Aspen Plus v10 software design an economic Biogas-based (Bio-OCM) consumes oxygen educts produces ethane, light off-gases products. Operating conditions reaction section are optimized product yield 16.12% reached applying two adiabatic Packed Bed Reactors (PBRs) series. For downstream CO2 removal section, standalone amine-absorption simulated compared hybrid membrane-absorption on basis. distillation different configurations with without Recycle Split Vapor (RSV) compared. cost Bio-OCM plant installed Brazil estimated considering wide range prices educts, utility, side products, equipment within Monte Carlo simulation. resulting average 0.53 ±0.73 USD.kgC2H4-1. highly sensitive sales price assigned off-gas side-product stream containing mostly un-reacted methane. close Brazilian pipeline natural gas has been assumed based characteristics this stream. simulation shows below or equal 0.70 USD.kgC2H4-1 achieved 55.2% confidence, whereas market values ethylene typically lie between 0.70USD.kgC2H4-1–1.50USD.kgC2H4-1.

Bio-Methane Potential Tests To Measure The Biogas Production From The Digestion and Co-Digestion of Complex Organic Substrates
Bio-methane potential (BMP) tests are widely used in studies concerning the anaerobic digestion of organic solids. Although they are often criticized to be time consumer, with an average length longer than 30 days, such tests are doubtless easy to be conducted, relatively inexpensive and repeatable. Moreover, BMP tests give significant information about the bio-methanation of specific substrate...
متن کامل2. Production of Biogas by Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion is a natural process in which bacteria convert organic materials into biogas. It occurs in marshes and wetlands, and in the digestive tract of ruminants. The bacteria are also active in landfills where they are the principal process degrading landfilled food wastes and other biomass. Biogas can be collected and used as a potential energy resource. The process occurs in an an...

this study investigated the effect of loading and temperature on anaerobic co-digestion of poultry manure with straw in mesophilic conditions. the study was made at lab-scale using 70l reactor with a hrt of 15 days. during the first phase, different loads of 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 kg vs/m3.d were studied in order to produce biogas. at load of 3.0 kg vs/ m3.d, vs removal and gas product...
متن کاملAnaerobic digestion of mechanically treated OFMSW: experimental data on biogas/methane production and residues characterization.
One of the more promising processes for the energetic transformation of waste is the anaerobic digestion of the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW). An experimental campaign was carried out on three different samples of OFMSW from Waste Separation (WS), one as received and two obtained after mechanical treatment (squeezing): OFMSW slurry (liquid fraction) and OFMSW Waste (residual...
