The services offered by the Bioenergy Group include studies, laboratory tests, simulation and synthesis of processes along with economic evaluation and basic plant engineering. The majority of the studies are centred around the efficient use of biomass and the sustainable exploitation of waste and resources, although work is also carried out on other energy and chemical sectors.
Studies and Consultancy
- Analysis, simulation and design of energy processes, with specialization in biorefineries
- CFD Simulation of new equipment: reactors, reformers, heat exchangers, etc
- Design of purification processes in gasification to obtain different products
- Energy and environmental assessment of waste and biomass: life-cycle analysis
- Analytical solutions in gas chromatography
Design and basic engineering
- Analysis and design of biomass and waste gasifiers
- Basic biomass gasification plant engineering for distributed generation of electricity
- Analysis, design and construction of catalytic reactors for biofuel and bioproduct synthesis
Characterization in the laboratory
- Fuels for energy applications
- Byproducts (ash, sludge…) in the search for new alternatives for exploitation
- Catalysts for the synthesis of biofuels and bioproducts
- Gasification processes for demonstration (through pilot plant tests) of alternative biomass
