  • SYSTEM FOR HYDROTHERMAL TREATMENT OF WET BIOMASS
    Publication number: 20200255759
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of continuous hydrothermal carbonization of wet biomass, such as manure. A disclosed system uses both inlet flow rate and outlet flow rate simultaneously to regulate the reaction time for continuous production.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: August 13, 2020
    Applicant: Board Of Regents Of The Nevada System of Higher Education On Behalf Of the University of Nevada
    Inventors: Charles J. CORONELLA, Mohammad Toufiqur REZA, Alireaz SHEKARRIZ
  • Method for wet torrefaction of a biomass
    Patent number: 10377954
    Abstract: A process for increasing the energy density of a biomass, which includes establishing a temperature and pressure within a reaction chamber that includes water and is at or above a desired reaction condition wherein the desired reaction condition is sufficient to increase the energy density of a reacted biomass; introducing a biomass into the reaction chamber such that the desired reaction condition is maintained or equilibrates thereto; and subjecting the biomass to the desired reaction condition for an amount of time effective to increase the energy density of the reacted biomass relative to the biomass prior to reaction.
    Type: Grant
