Schoeneberger J., Fricke A., 2017, Optimizing the Exergetic Efficiency of a Pressurized Water Process for Bio Gas Cleaning, Chemical Engineering Transactions, 57, 457-462.
A pressurized water process for bio gas cleaning is optimized by means of its exergetic efficiency. The exergy consumption of this process is a suitable measure as it weights electricity and steam consumption and considers the increase of physical and chemical exergy of the treated bio gas stream. In this paper the steps applied for modeling the process and for calculating the exergy of the streams are presented and an outlook on the optimal operation conditions is given.
