  • Assessment of the Implementation of Alternative Process Technologies for Rural Heat and Power Production from Cocoa Pod Husks
    Assessment of the implementation of alternative process technologies for rural heat and power production from cocoa pod husks Dimitra Maleka Master of Science Thesis KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management Department of Energy Technology Division of Heat and Power Technology SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM Master of Science Thesis EGI 2016: 034 MSC EKV1137 Assessment of the implementation of alternative process technologies for rural heat and power production from cocoa pod husks Dimitra Maleka Approved Examiner Supervisors Reza Fakhraie Reza Fakhraie (KTH) David Bauner (Renetech AB) Commissioner Contact person ii Abstract Cocoa pod husks are generated in Côte d’Ivoire, in abundant quantities annually. The majority is left as waste to decompose at the plantations. A review of the ultimate and proximate composition of CPH resulted in the conclusion that, CPH is a high potential feedstock for both thermochemical and biochemical processes. The main focus of the study was the utilization of CPH in 10,000 tons/year power plants for generation of energy and value-added by-products. For this purpose, the feasibility of five energy conversion processes (direct combustion, gasification, pyrolysis, anaerobic digestion and hydrothermal carbonization) with CPH as feedstock, were investigated. Several indicators were used for the review and comparison of the technologies. Anaerobic digestion and hydrothermal carbonization were found to be the most suitable conversion processes. For both technologies an analysis was conducted including technical, economic, environmental and social aspects. Based on the characterization of CPH, appropriate reactors and operating conditions were chosen for the two processes. Moreover, the plants were chosen to be coupled with CHP units, for heat and power generation.
