Patent EP-3712233-A1 (EP)
IPC: C10L9/08
Filed: 2019-03-20
Abstract: The present invention concerns an improved process for the wet torrefaction (Torwash) of biomass, wherein the liquid phase comprises vinasse which is typically considered a waste stream. The process according the invention comprises: (a) heating a mixture comprising biomass and vinasse at a temperature in the range of 100 - 400 °C, to obtain torrefied biomass and a liquor; and (b) washing the torrefied biomass with water, to obtain a washed material and an effluent. The inventors found that by applying a washing step after the wet torrefaction, the results are equally good as when fresh water would be used in combination with a conventional pre-washing step.

Abstract: Systems and methods for measuring direct current (DC) voltage of an insulated conductor ( e.g.,  insulated wire) are provided, without requiring a galvanic connection between the conductor and a test electrode or probe. A non-contact DC voltage measurement device may include a conductive sensor that is mechanically oscillated. The insulated conductor under test serves as a first conductive element or electrode of a coupling capacitor, and the vibrating conductive sensor serves as a second conductive element or electrode of the coupling capacitor. The oscillation of the conductive sensor provides the coupling capacitor with a time-varying capacitance value. The measurement device detects current flowing through the coupling capacitor, and determines the DC voltage in the insulated conductor using the detected current and the time-varying capacitance. The determined DC voltage may be output to a display or transmitted to an external system via a wired or wireless connection.

The first electrode (18) is able to slide in and out of the catheter (12) in order to vary the exposed length of the first electrode (18) and as a result to alter the energy density at the first electrode (18) in order to exhibit different heating effects. A control unit (24) controls current through the electrodes (18, 20) and also the exposed length of the first electrode (18). The second electrode (20) has a surface area at least twice that of the first electrode (18) in order to act as a dispersive of electrode. As a consequence, negligible heat is generated at the second electrode (20) and therefore no blood clotting or other ablation material is formed over the catheter (12).
