Energetic Utilization of
Biomass
lecturer: Dr.-Ing. Andreas Hiller
scope: 2 semester periods per week, 1 semester,
offered each semester
dates/schedule
Contents
The energetic (thermal) utilization of biomass is the
subject of the lecture. From the definition of bioenergy
sources, its potential and combustion related properties
(characterisation), the basics/techniques and processes of
combustion, co-incineration, carburetion and pyrolysis, the
technically relevant contaminant components in exhaust gases
and measures for its reduction - are explained. Furthermore,
biogas production and plant oil production are presented. Also
legal backgrounds, political framework conditions, as well as
energy efficiency and economics are introduced. The topic is
summarised by the current development status (outlook), the
phases for the implementation of a project (process chains) and
the description of constructed facilities. The lecture is
concluded by an extensive literature compilation.
