PROCESSING OF LIQUID HIGH-ENERGY PRODUCTS WITH THE PRODUCTION OF GAS MIXTURES OF A GIVEN COMPOSITION

Abstract

The article considers the problem of using waste as an energy resource. The possibility of processing liquid carbon-containing waste, which is formed during the processing of agricultural products, the use of fats in the food industry and oils in transport, is analyzed. An analysis of the volumes of such waste is presented. It is shown that sunflower processing is accompanied by the formation of about 7,000 tons/year of liquid carbon-containing waste. Technological processes of food industry generate about 1,000 tons of such waste per year. A significant source of waste generation is motor vehicle companies, the total resource of which for the introduction of competitive processing technology is currently about 100,000 tons of olives. A promising resource source for the proposed technology is the process of thermal destruction of used automobile tires, of which 250–300 thousand tons are generated annually in Ukraine. Possibilities of introducing the technology of thermal decomposition of liquid carbon-containing substances of various origins, as components of waste, to create gaseous products of a given composition with further use in the chemical industry and replacement of natural gas are considered. The thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons with stabilization of the process due to the introduction of a high-temperature plasma discharge source into it is among the most promising methods of performing such a task. The results of the development of the methodology for the analytical study of the composition of gaseous fuels are presented. The concept and schematic diagram of the experimental stand are presented. The results of test studies are presented. Bibl. 15, Fig. 5, Tabl. 5.
