TNO-SBT-SYNT Laboratory

TA77 – TNO-SBT-SYNT 

Location

Westerduinweg 3

1755 LE Petten,  Netherlands 

Description

The TNO-SBT-SYNT lab consists of hydrodesulfurisation, sulphur removal, steam methane reforming, CO2 scrubbing, compression and high-pressure fuel synthesis with product recovery units. In the setup, the integration with hydrogen can be simulated by injecting additional hydrogen at various locations.

Testing Capabilities

The setup, which can be combined with the upstream TNO-SBT-GAS lab, is extremely versatile and unique in Europe, allowing Users to convert feedstock (biogenic residues) into SNG, DME, MeOH or FT fuels. The set-up can also be used as stand-alone unit with the use of bottled gas. It can then be utilised for instance to test new sorbents or catalysts and varying the operating temperature and pressure for the different processes. Users are invited to discuss the several options available. 

Technical Equipment

Standard gas analysis includes gas monitors for O2, H2, CO, CO2 and CH4. If required, a microGC can be connected to determine N2, Ar/O2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, C6H6, C7H8, H2S and COS. Additionally, gas analysis, as well as ICP or SEM analysis are possible, but have to be paid for separately. Among these options are collection and analysis of tar guideline and SPA samples, GC-FPD analysis for sulphur components, GC-TCD analysis of C2-C6 components, collection and analysis of wet chemical samples for NH3, HCN and HCl. Visitors are invited to discuss options to couple their specific analysis equipment.
