  • Improving ITS sequence data for identification of plant pathogenic fungi
  • 2014

    • Plant pathogenic fungi are a large and diverse assemblage of eukaryotes with substantial impacts on natural ecosystems and human endeavours. These taxa often have complex and poorly understood life cycles, lack observable, discriminatory morphological characters, and may not be amenable to in vitro culturing. As a result, species identification is frequently difficult. Molecular (DNA sequence) data have emerged as crucial information for the taxonomic identification of plant pathogenic fungi, with the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region being the most popular marker. However, international nucleotide sequence databases are accumulating numerous sequences of compromised or low-resolution taxonomic annotations and substandard technical quality, making their use in the molecular identification of plant pathogenic fungi problematic. Here we report on a concerted effort to identify high-quality reference sequences for various plant pathogenic fungi and to re-annotate incorrectly or insufficiently annotated public ITS sequences from these fungal lineages. A third objective was to enrich the sequences with geographical and ecological metadata. The results – a total of 31,954 changes – are incorporated in and made available through the UNITE database for molecular identification of fungi (http://unite.ut.ee), including standalone FASTA files of sequence data for local BLAST searches, use in the next-generation sequencing analysis platforms QIIME and mothur, and related applications. The present initiative is just a beginning to cover the wide spectrum of plant pathogenic fungi, and we invite all researchers with pertinent expertise to join the annotation effort.

  • Advanced biofuel production via gasification – lessons learned from 200 man-years of research activity with Chalmers’ research gasifier and the GoBiGas demonstration plant.
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Energy Science and Engineering. - : Wiley. - 2050-0505. ; 6:1, s. 6-34
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • This paper presents the main experiences gained and conclusions drawn from the demonstration of a first-of-its-kind wood-based biomethane production plant (20-MW capacity, 150 dry tonnes of biomass/day) and 10 years of operation of the 2–4-MW (10–20 dry tonnes of biomass/day) research gasifier at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden. Based on the experience gained, an elaborated outline for commercialization of the technology for a wide spectrum of applications and end products is defined. The main findings are related to the use of biomass ash constituents as a catalyst for the process and the application of coated heat exchangers, such that regular fluidized bed boilers can be retrofitted to become biomass gasifiers. Among the recirculation of the ash streams within the process, presence of the alkali salt in the system is identified as highly important for control of the tar species. Combined with new insights on fuel feeding and reactor design, these two major findings form the basis for a comprehensive process layout that can support a gradual transformation of existing boilers in district heating networks and in pulp, paper and saw mills, and it facilitates the exploitation of existing oil refineries and petrochemical plants for large-scale production of renewable fuels, chemicals, and materials from biomass and wastes. The potential for electrification of those process layouts are also discussed. The commercialization route represents an example of how biomass conversion develops and integrates with existing industrial and energy infrastructures to form highly effective systems that deliver a wide range of end products. Illustrating the potential, the existing fluidized bed boilers in Sweden alone represent a jet fuel production capacity that corresponds to 10% of current global consumption.

  • Self‐Cleaning Surfaces for Heat Recovery During Industrial Hydrocarbon‐Rich Gas Cooling: An Experimental and Numerical Study
  • 2019
  • Ingår i: AICHE Journal. - : Wiley. - 1547-5905 .- 0001-1541. ; 65:1, s. 317-325
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The cooling of hydrocarbon-rich gases in industrial processes often leads to severe fouling, which impedes heat recovery, restricts operative conditions and increases maintenance costs. In the present work, we investigate whether self-cleaning surfaces represent a possible solution to overcome this technological bottleneck. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic treatments of compact heat exchanger plates are experimentally and numerically investigated during cooling of syngas produced from biomass gasification. The experimental evidences related to the operation of heat exchanger plates are assessed first, and a deeper insight into the relevant phenomena is thereafter obtained by performing numerical simulations. Our analysis identifies the hydrophobic treatment as the most promising solution and unveils the induced self-cleaning mechanism: the formation of small-sized and movable condensed droplets that enhance the collection and removal of gas impurities. These findings open up new routes towards the development of cheaper, more efficient and sustainable gas cooling systems.

  • Two-phase flow patterns and condensation on wetted surfaces for innovative self-cleaning heat exchangers: experiments and numerics
  • 2018
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Fouling is a common and pervasive problem in industrial processes that involve the cooling of hydrocarbon-rich gas mixtures and and it is considered responsible for 1%÷2.5% of the global anthropogenic emissions of CO2. One of the major drawbacks related to fouling is that it impedes heat recovery and thereby it considerably limits the efficiency of many industrial processes. We experimentally and numerically have investigated whether self-cleaning surfaces of heat exchangers represent a possible solution to overcome this technological bottleneck. Hydrophilically and hydrophobically treated corrugated plates of heat exchangers have been experimentally tested in a 2 MW th research-gasifier and their capabilities to resist fouling have been evaluated. Results revealed that hydrophobically treated surfaces exhibit good anti-fouling and self-cleaning properties. By means of numerical Lattice-Boltzmann-based simulations we then unveiled the self-cleaning phenomenon induced by the wetted surfaces: with a similar mechanism to lotus-leaves, small and motile condensed water droplets are able to collect and remove impurities present in the gas and prevent surfaces fouling. Condensation, two-phase flows patterns formation and droplets coalescence all contribute to promote or weaken the self-cleaning effects. Therefore, numerical simulations have been finally used to identify the main mass and heat transport mechanisms that affect self-cleaning and the optimal operative conditions of the heat exchangers.

    • Introduction First-trimester pregnancy risk evaluation facilitates individualised antenatal care, as well as application of preventive strategies for pre-eclampsia or birth of a small for gestational age infant. A range of early intervention strategies in pregnancies identified as high risk at the end of the first trimester has been shown to decrease the risk of preterm pre-eclampsia (<37 gestational weeks). The aim of this project is to create the Improving Maternal Pregnancy And Child ouTcomes (IMPACT) database; a nationwide database with individual patient data, including predictors recorded at the end of the first trimester and later pregnancy outcomes, to identify women at high risk of pre-eclampsia. A second aim is to link the IMPACT database to a biobank with first-trimester blood samples. Methods and analysis This is a Swedish prospective multicentre cohort study. Women are included between the 11th and 14th weeks of pregnancy. At inclusion, pre-identified predictors are retrieved by interviews and medical examinations. Blood samples are collected and stored in a biobank. Additional predictors and pregnancy outcomes are retrieved from the Swedish Pregnancy Register. Inclusion in the study began in November 2018 with a targeted sample size of 45 000 pregnancies by end of 2021. Creation of a new risk prediction model will then be developed, validated and implemented. The database and biobank will enable future research on prediction of various pregnancy-related complications. Ethics and dissemination Confidentiality aspects such as data encryption and storage comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and with ethical committee requirements. This study has been granted national ethical approval by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Uppsala 2018-231) and national biobank approval at Uppsala Biobank (18237 2 2018 231). Results from the current as well as future studies using information from the IMPACT database will be published in peer-reviewed journals.

  • Evaluation of Performance of Industrial-Scale Dual Fluidized Bed Gasifiers Using the Chalmers 2–4-MWth Gasifier
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Energy & Fuels. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 1520-5029 .- 0887-0624. ; 27:1, s. 6665-6680
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • A general approach to evaluating the performance of industrial-scale dual fluidized bed (DFB) gasifiers was developed in this work. The approach is intended to simplify comprehensive evaluation of DFB gasifiers and to highlight important parameters, some of which are often missed or omitted in the literature. By applying this procedure, experimental results can be generalized, which is verified in this work using the Chalmers 2–4-MWth DFB gasifier. In a DFB gasifier, some of the fuel is converted to the desired calorific gas, while the remaining portion is combusted to meet the heat demands of the process. As shown here, the total heat demands limit the amount of chemical energy that can be restored from the fuel into the produced gas, whereby the main heat demands are from the drying and heating of the fuel, in addition to heating the combustion air and steam. By establishing a heat balance across the system, the chemical efficiency can be estimated. With lower heat demands, higher chemical efficiency is achievable, whereas with higher heat demands, more of the fuel must be burned and a lower chemical efficiency is achieved. It is experimentally complicated to quantify the level of fuel conversion and heat demands of a DFB gasification system. In this work, an experimental procedure is presented and implemented using the Chalmers gasifier to quantify the fuel conversion and heat demands. Furthermore, it was investigated how a variation in the amount of steam used for fluidization of the gasifier affects fuel conversion and other important parameters. To establish a reference case, silica sand was used as bed material and wood pellets was used as fuel to minimize the effects of ash and the bed material. By increasing the level of fluidization steam, the average residence time of the gas was decreased and the gas temperature, gas velocity, and steam-to-fuel ratio were increased, which resulted in increased conversion (up to 36%) of organic compounds (OC). However, limited char conversion was achieved (0%–4%), and the chemical efficiency remained unaffected by the amount of steam added to the process. The chemical efficiency of the Chalmers gasifier was determined to be 74% when using wood pellets as fuel. This is comparable to results from thermo-economic modeling of second-generation biofuels production processes, which, based on the heat demand, report the chemical efficiency of the DFB gasifier as being in the range of 74%–77% to maximize the overall efficiency. This shows that the required chemical efficiency is achieved, even with low char conversion, when using a fuel with a high content of volatiles, such as wood pellets.

  • Steam gasification of biomass – Typical gas quality and operational strategies derived from industrial-scale plants
  • 2021
  • Ingår i: Fuel Processing Technology. - : Elsevier BV. - 0378-3820. ; 212
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Steam gasification enables the thermochemical conversion of solid fuels into a medium calorific gas that can be utilized for the synthesis of advanced biofuels, chemicals or for heat and power production. Dual fluidized bed (DFB) gasification is at present the technology applied to realize gasification of biomass in steam environment at large scale. Few large-scale DFB gasifiers exist, and this work presents a compilation and analysis of the data and operational strategies from the six DFB gasifiers in Europe. It is shown that the technology is robust, as similar gas quality can be achieved despite the differences in reactor design and operation strategies. Reference con-centrations of both gas components and tar components are provided, and correlations in the data are in-vestigated. In all plants, adjusting the availability and accessibility to the active ash components (K and Ca) was the key to control the gas quality. The gas quality, and in particular the tar content of the gas, can conveniently be assessed by monitored the concentration of CH4 in the produced gas. The data and experience acquired from these plants provide important knowledge for the future development of the steam gasification of biomass.

  • Using Ilmenite To Reduce the Tar Yield in a Dual Fluidized Bed Gasification System
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: Energy & Fuels. - : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 1520-5029 .- 0887-0624. ; 28:4, s. 2632-2644
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Biomass gasification plays an important role in the emerging production of second-generation biofuels. One of the major challenges facing biomass gasification is to find simple and efficient ways to reform tar components. While the tar causes operational problems, it can be reformed to increase the chemical efficiency of the gasification process. With respect to tar reforming, catalytic materials are of special interest. Many of the materials that have been proposed as promising catalysts are metal oxide-based materials. However, metal oxides also have the ability to transport oxygen when subjected to alternating oxidizing and reducing atmospheres, similar to that which occurs in a dual fluidized bed gasification system. In this work, ilmenite was used as the catalytic material in the Chalmers 2-4 MWth dual fluidized bed gasifier to decrease the yield of tar. The ilmenite was mixed with the silica sand, which was used as the bed material, to investigate how the level of ilmenite affected chemical efficiency and tar yield. Furthermore, energy balance calculations were established to elucidate the general aspects of oxygen transport in dual fluidized bed gasification systems. The results presented in this paper reveal that adding low levels of ilmenite reduces the tar yield by similar to 50%(mass). However, the oxygen transport induced by ilmenite caused a reduction in the chemical efficiency of the gasifier and the heating value of the gas, compared to using 100% silica sand as the bed material. The impact of adding ilmenite was found to be dependent upon the operational conditions of the gasifier; a low fluidization velocity gave the highest reduction of the tar yield, whereas higher fluidization velocities led to increased levels of heavy components. Overall, the use of ilmenite as a catalyst for reduction of the yield of tar appears promising, provided that the level of oxygen transport can be restricted.
