Method and apparatus for hydrothermal Karbonisirung

Process for the hydrothermal carbonization are already since the invention by Friedrich Bergius in 1913 basically known. Typically, such methods are either operated as a continuous process, which is to be controlled very expensive and heavy due to required in the process of pressure differences, or as a discontinuous so-called single-batch processes which proceed to completion in a reactor and, therefore, owing to the need for a passage time are rather inefficient. This should eliminate the invention. This is achieved by a multi-batch process in which each step is performed in a separate, largely decoupled in terms of pressure and temperature tank. In this way, the process control is considerably simplified. For a long process steps also more tanks can be made available so that all components are utilized efficiently.
