Abstract: A process for the gasification of wet biomass. The process comprises heating wet biomass at a pressure in the range of from 22.1 MPa to 35 MPa. The wet biomass is heated from a temperature of at most T1 to a temperature of at least T2 by heat exchange with a first heating fluid. The gasification product is further heated. The further heated gasification product is used as the first heating fluid, upon which the further heated gasification product is cooled down from a temperature of at least T3 to a temperature of at most T4. The temperatures T1, T2, T3 and T4 can be calculated by using certain mathematical formulae. Also claimed: a reaction apparatus for the gasification of wet biomass.

Abstract: A system for monitoring electric current in a network comprising at least one electrical fuse including a protective body, and at least one interrogating device arranged to interrogate at least one current sensing unit. The invention also concerns a method to monitor electric current in a network, including the steps of: determining a current in the electrical fuse, for example, via a voltage drop measurement across a fusible resistor in the electrical fuse; transmitting current determinations from the current sensing unit, for example, to a central management device; and processing received data from the at least one current sensing unit.
