Abstract

The Integrated Pyrolysis Regenerated Plant (IPRP) concept is based on a rotary kiln pyrolyzer that converts biomass or wastes (B&W) in a rich gas used to fuel a gas turbine (GT); the combustion of pyrolysis by-products (char or tar), is used to provide heat to the pyrolyzer together with the GT exhaust gases. The IPRP concept was modelled through an homemade software, that utilizes thermodynamic relations, energy balances and data available in the Literature for BW pyrolysis products. The analysis was carried out investigating the influence on the plant performances of main thermodynamic parameters like the Turbine Inlet Temperature (TIT), the Regeneration Ratio (RR) and the manometric compression ratio (β) of the gas turbine; when data on the pyrolysis process where available for different pyrolysis temperature, also the different pyrolysis temperature (TP) was considered. Finally, data obtained from the analysis where collected for the typical parameters of different GT sizes, namely the manometric compression ratio and the turbine inlet temperature. For the other parameters, where considered the ones that give the highest efficiencies. The paper shows the IPRP efficiency, when fuelled with different biomass or wastes materials and for different GT (plant) size.
