BIOREFINERÍA FT
Development of technology for obtaining biofuel
Description
The FT BIOREFINERIA Project consists of developing a technology that allows the obtaining of 2nd generation liquid biofuels (synthetic diesel) and electrical energy, through the application of gasification and co-gasification processes, of different types of solid and/or liquid waste (herbaceous biomass, lignocellulosic, glycerine, etc.). For this purpose, green chemical procedures will be applied to minimize and/or revalue the waste generated. This process will serve as the basis for the development of thermo-chemical biorefineries.
Objectives
- Development of a technology that allows the (co)-gasification of different types of waste.
- Study of a novel gas cleaning treatment process using different types of bio-solvents.
- Development of the Fischer-Tropsch process to obtain 2nd generation biofuels.
Actions
1: Selection and analysis of the most suitable raw materials in Spain.
2: Characterization of the thermal and oxidative degradation process at laboratory level.
3: Determination of fluid dynamic parameters at high temperatures.
4: Parametric study of the pyrolysis and gasification process.
5: Development of a gas cleaning technology.
6: Study of the Fischer-Tropsch process.
Expected results
-
Development of a technology that allows the (co)-gasification of different types of waste, including liquid wastes.
-
Study of new gas cleaning treatment processes using different types of biosolvents.
-
Development of the Fischer-Tropsch unit, coupled to the pilot plant, to obtain 2nd generation biofuels.
-
Obtaining experimental models kinetic and fluid dynamic.

Networking
LIFE BIOSEVILLE
Life BIOSEVILLE develops an integrated system for the value of frying oils generated in the city of Seville. This system ranges from oil collection logistics to obtaining a more efficient, competitive and ecological biofuel.
LIFE VALPORC
The goal of the LIFE + VALPORC is to demonstrate a sustainable alternative to the management of pig carcasses and manure, focusing on the environmental problems derived from its current management and valorizing these wastes by transforming them into biofuels (biogas and biodiesel) and organic fertilizers,
LIFE SMART Hospital
The LIFE SMART Hospital Project has promoted the sustainability of the health sector through the deployment of best practices and available technologies, training programs and replication of experience.
VALOR-PLUS
The VALOR-PLUS supports the realisation of sustainable, economically viable closed loop integrated biorefineries through the development of new knowledge, (bio-)technologies and products that enable valorisation of key biorefinery by-products.
LIFE COLRECEPS
The main objective of the COLRECEPS project is the implementation of a prototype demonstration plant to recycle residual EPS and obtain EPS beads. With these pearls, new recycled EPS prototype products will be manufactured.
LIFE REVAWASTE
The LIFE REVAWASTE project (www.revawaste.eu) was born proposing the sustainable management of a broad spectrum of waste in an integrated plant or “Mixed Plant”.
LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY
The LIFE EUCALYPTUS ENERGY Project consists of the pyrolysis of eucalyptus biomass for the production of electricity and biochar. It is intended to make use of the residual biomass of eucalyptus forest exploitation.
RECALZA
RECALZA proposes to develop a chemical recycling process of the generated polyurethane foam residues, to obtain the polyol again and re-manufacture new products (recycled soles) that meet the requirements for the footwear sector.
CONREPOL
The CONREPOL project will evaluate both chemical procedures based on the use of compounds that increase the surface polarity (silane coupling agents) of the waste and physical treatments with the same objective.
GREEN-CAR
The GREEN CAR ecodesign Project applies the ecodesign methodology to several components of the “electric vehicle” system: batteries, converter, charging points, conditioning systems and auxiliary systems from renewable sources
LIFE RESCATAME
RESCATAME represents a new system for the sustainable management of traffic through the use of models that predict pollution levels, which are supported by data collected by the network of air quality sensors, and that can help to execute a rapid action.
BIALEMA
BIALEMA: RED for the production of Biofuels and its impact on food, energy and the environment. Conducted by Dr. Antonio Francisco Valdes Delgado (CUBAENERGIA).
BIORECOS
The BIORECOS Project aims to design and build a demonstration plant of a modular nature that allows, through pyrolysis, the production of charcoal and / or active coal, as well as the generation of electrical energy.
ENHANCE HEALTH
The ENHANCE HEALTH project focuses on environmental and health concerns related to air pollution produced by industries and waste incinerators in urban areas.
