title = "Design and development of a hydrothermal reactor for bio coal production for application in solid waste management technologies",
abstract = "This paper focuses on the design and development of a hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) reactor for processing biomass (brewers spent grains) to 69 tons per day of bio coal at 220 as the carbonizing temperature. A batch operation was used and a reactor with a height of 4.7m and a diameter of 3.1m. Stainless steel was chosen as the material of construction and a residence time of 2 hours in the HTC reactor for optimum conversion to bio coal. The HAZOP and process control was done to ensure health and safety in the plan.",
