Electrified-Catalytic Reforming using 3D printed catalysts for Biomethane production from biomass pyrolysis

El-reformer

Biomethane is a renewable vehicle fuel can be produced by the anaerobic digestion routine and the thermal conversion (gasification and/or pyrolysis) routine. One of the technical challenges of the thermal process is catalytic reforming process to crack heavy molecule fractions (or tar) into light fractions. In this project, a novel electrical heating catalytic reforming process is proposed. 3D printed material is used as catalyst. The manufactured 3D-printed catalyst will be tested at KTH existing bench scale reactor. Then a prototype of the novel reformer is constructed, commissioning and tested at KTH.
