Abstract

Hybrid hydrothermal carbonization (Hybrid HTC) technology is a proprietary thermochemical process for two or more organic wastes.The reaction time is less than two hours with temperature range 180~250℃ and pressure range 20~40bar. Thanks to accumulation of the carbon of the waste during Hybrid HTC process, the energy value of the solid fuel increases significantly with comparatively low energy consumption. It has also a great volume reduction with odor removal effect so that it is evaluated as the best solid fuel conversion technology for various organic wastes. In this study of the hybrid hydrothermal carbonization, the effect on the calorific value and yield of Cambodian mango waste were evaluated according to changes in temperature and reaction time. Through the study, parameter optimization has been sought with improving energy efficiency of the whole plant. It is decomposed in the Hydro-Carbonation Technology to Generate Gas. At this time, it is possible to develop manufacturing and production technologies such as hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4). Based on the results of the study, a pilot plant (2t/day) has been proposed for future commercialization purpose along cost analysis, mass balance and energy balance calculations.

하이브리드수열탄화 (Hybrid HTC) 기술은 2가지 이상의 유기성폐기물을 혼합한 특허 받은 열역학 공정으로 공정온도 180~250℃, 압력 20~40 bar에서 반응시간이 2시간 이내이며 에너지 소비가 적고, 폐기물의 부피감소 및 악취 저감효과가 크다. 폐기물 중 대부분의 탄소가 최종 생성물에 축적되므로 유기성 폐기물 고형연료화에 가장 적합한 기술로 평가받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하이브리드 수열탄화기술을 활용하여 캄보디아 망고 폐기물을 대상으로 온도 및 반응시간의 변화에 따라 발열량 및 수율 등에 미치는 영향에 대하여 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통해 공정변수를 최적화하고, 전공정플랜트의 에너지 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있으며, 수연탄화기술에서 분해되어 가스가 생성되는데 이때 수소(H2) 및 메탄(CH4) 등 제조 및 생산기술개발을 할 수 있다. 본 연구 결과를 토대로 망고폐기물(2t/day)실증 물질수지 및 에너지 수지 도출과 함께 경제성도 평가하였다.
