Processs for gasification and conversion into electricity of moist biomass with supercritical water, where an educt of the gasification plant is given which is composed of dry matter and water and, in order to achieve a constant biomass concentration, the biomass to be gasified, depending on the water content, is still diluted with water or enriched with biomass containing dry matter, and after preconditioning by comminution and mixing of the biomass suspension, a pumpable biomass slurry is obtained, uniform starting material, which is then brought to a pressure of about 27 bar and fed to a first heat exchanger, which heats the suspension to 225 °C and subsequently the biomass suspension is fed at this temperature into the liquefaction reactor, where it is kept at the inlet temperature for 30 min, and then the suspension is brought to the gasification pressure of about 350 bar and subsequently the biomass mixture passes through a second heat exchanger, in which it is heated to a temperature of about 630 °C by heat transfer with the gasification product, and in the process the water changes to the supercritical state and a gasification reaction begins, whereby the solubility of the water for organic substances is increased by the change to the supercritical state, while the solubility for salts decreases, which accordingly precipitate to a large extent and are also transferred to the gasification reactor and, in order to reach the gasification temperature of 700 °C, an additional heat input is necessary which is provided by electric heating elements in the gasification reactor, and then, after passing through the gasification reactor, the biomass is converted to a large extent into gases, which contain in particular gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen and ethane, and furthermore the gasification product consists mainly of unreacted supercritical water and precipitated salts and non-gasified organic particles, and subsequently the precipitated salts are separated as a salt solution by means of a sump discharge, and then the product is cooled by heat recovery in the two heat exchangers to 275 °C and 65 °C correspondingly at an unchanged high pressure level, whereby, from a temperature of 374 °C, water is present in the liquid aggregate state and can therefore be separated from the product gas after heat recovery in a water separator, the product gas present now consists mainly of carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen and ethane, and the necessary CO 2 separation for gas treatment is then carried out by cooling, and a refrigeration machine cools the product gas to a temperature below 30 °C, since, at this temperature and the prevailing high pressure, both CO 2 and ethane are liquid and are separated in the CO 2 and ethane separator by phase separation, the remaining fuel gas, which consists of methane and hydrogen, can now be used in the electricity generation process independent of the gasification process.
