Hi I would like to ask the community if we can set up a post for a new energy system I have been working on ,I think it works out more efficient and ecologically better , and its large scale thinking for energy systems , and now I need to check through my figures and need the views of IET thinkers for instance on combustion , post combustion chemistry , it unfolds into quite a complex system which I have been working on for 8 years , but enables us to get more energy from wastes and perhaps helps to move to biomaterials. I have an interest as environmental thinker and have designed the system to go through to government funding phases and pretty confident it works well in a number of questions around energy and environmental thinking .
Just been doing some further calculations and think we would have enough fuel as a sort of bio solids/rdf mix at 10% moisture at around 18000kj/kg if we can get biosolids at 10% moisture in good kj fuel value . Looking at at a mixed fuel of around 18000kj/kg , and , probebably take around 15yrs to get a home grown biomass market beyond the current 2,500,000,000 kgs that isnt recycled . I was wondering if long leaf pine could be harvested every 15-20 yrs (to enable harvesting by direct uprooting ) might yield more biomass than 90yr planting of commercial conifer , also being as forest management is on the cards , there is the rakings from mature forests (around 2 every 90yrs ?).
Just need the expansion and heat content figures and its looking good .
