• Utilize the whole tree
• Produce a variety of forest-derived products – Cellulose fiber
– Synthetic fuels and chemicals (e.g. methanol-to-gasoline, dimethyl DME, Fischer Tropsch diesel,…)
– Lignin-derived products
– Pharmaceuticals, neutraceuticals
– Electrical power
• Utilize forest materials for energy
• Plant economic optimization and market demand for products determine the optimal product mix
• Constraint: steam generated must meet mill steam demands

Gasification – Biomass => CO, CO2, H2, H2O
– CO + H2 => liquid fuels and chemicals
Pyrolysis – Biomass => organic liquids,
gases, char
– Organic liquids are refined to liquid fuels and chemicals
Gasification – Biomass => CO, CO2, H2,
H2O – CO + H2 => liquid fuels
and chemicals
Pyrolysis – Biomass => organic
liquids, gases, char – Organic liquids are
refined to liquid fuels and chemicals
Choices
– Gasification/pyrolysis feedstock can be biomass OR black liquor (OR both)
– Products can be power OR both liquid fuels and power
– Fuel products can be chosen independently
– Ratio of fuel products to power is determined through process design and management of heat utilization
Constraints
– No change in pulp production rate and pulp quality
– Steam production must meet pulp mill requirements

Pulp
1. Produce dimethyl ether (DME) and power
a. Maximize DME from BLG syngas (DMEa)
i. Recycle unconverted syngas
ii. Burn wood residues and unconverted syngas to generate process steam and power
b. Increase power production (DMEb)
i. Recycle unconverted syngas
ii. Gasifiy wood residue to fire gas turbine for power
iii. HRSG downstream of gas turbine generates power and process steam
Based on Larson, Consonni, Katofsky, Iisa, Frederick, A Cost-Benefit Assessment of Gasification-Based Biorefining in the Kraft Pulp and Paper Industry v. 1-4, report to the USDOE and AF&PA, 2006.
1. Produce dimethyl ether (DME) and power
c. Single pass syngas for increased power (DMEc)
i. Single pass for syngas through DME synthesis reactor
ii. Burn wood residues and more unconverted syngas to generate process steam and power
iii. HRSG downstream of gas turbine generates power and process steam
2. Produce Fischer Tropsch diesel and power
a. Maximize DME from BLG syngas (FTa)
i. Syngas from black liquor gasification only
ii. Syngas once-through the FT synthesis reactor
iii. Power island includes a biomass gasifier, syngas cooler, and combined cycle power plant with process steam extraction
iv. Unconverted syngas is burned in power island
b. Maximize power generation (FTb)
i. Similar to FTa but with a larger biomass gasifier and gas turbine for more power generation
2. Produce Fischer Tropsch diesel and power
c. Maximize FT diesel production (FTc)
i. Syngas from both black liquor and biomass gasification
ii. Syngas once-through the FT synthesis reactor
iii. Power island burns only unconverted syngas; otherwise the same as in FTa and FTb ; combined cycle power plant with process steam extraction plus a condensing turbine to utilize excess steam
1. Gasification of both black liquor and biomass to produce syngas for biofuels
2. Power and steam generation using combined unconverted syngas plus syngas from gasified biomass plus heat recovered from exothermic syngas processing steps

Steam generated from recovery and power boilers
Pulp mill steam requirement
• Adequate biomass supply
• Separation and recovery of S and Na
– Temperature and pressure effects
– H2S recombined with green liquor => lime required
• Changes in equivalent capacity of some standard pulp mill operations?
• Configure the integrated plant for excellent heat utilization
• On pulping: none
• On brownstock washing: none
• On black liquor evaporation: none
• On recovery boiler throughput: gasification of all black liquor means no demand
for a recovery boiler
Sulfur separates from sodium during gasification (and pyrolysis)
• Recapture of H2S, followed by causticizing:
H2S + Na2CO3 => NaHS + NaHCO3
NaHCO3 + Ca(OH)2
=> NaOH + H2O + CaCO3
• Causticizing of conventional green liquor:
Na2CO3 + Ca(OH)2 => 2NaOH + CaCO3
2 CaO per 2 NaOH
1 CaO per 2 NaOH
Lime consumption and causticizer volume requirement and can be doubled when H2S has to be recaptured
55% release at 950oC, pressurized O2 (30 bar) gasificationa
