Abstract

We discuss the main problems encountered during the operation of the fast pyrolysis plant pilot of biomass belonging to the State University of Campinas, Unicamp-Brazil. This plant has been set for the production of bio-oil from waste biomass of small size. During testing, the main problems identified were: steam flow by the pyrolysis of biomass power, locking the thread supply of biomass, segregation of biomass in the bed, sintering of inert material, accumulation of biomass and charcoal inside the reactor, difficult to heat the inert and low efficiency of recovery of bio-oil. The results of exploratory tests allowed to set operating conditions to enable the stable work of the reactor, increasing knowledge about the phenomena that occur during fast pyrolysis fluidized bed, including the establishment of operating ranges for various independent factors in order to optimize future experimental work.
