LEWA pumps and systems for the conveyance of biomass of the third generation:

• Alternative process for synthetic fuel production: gasification of carbonaceous raw materials for the production of synthesis gas (CO and H2) which subsequently is transformed into a long-chain FT-fuel by means of the Fischer-Tropsch-synthesis (FT). With the last process step (hydro-cracking) the desired BTL-fuel (Synfuel) is produced at temperatures > 200°C and a process pressure of up to 90 bar.

LEWA pumps and systems for high pressure processes of the second generation:

• LEWA ecoflow or LEWA triplex high temperature process pumps for reactor pressure boosting, 7 m³/h, 90 bar, 230-290°C
• esterification of organic fats or oils with methanol in a high pressure process
• thermal decomposition of organic waste for the production of a low boiling crude oil
  as well as of a gas with high hydrogen content  
• LEWA metering pump as supply pump for biomass, 100 l/h, up to 320 bar.
• recirculation pump, 250 bar, 350°C

Examples for the use of LEWA pumps and systems for biofuel production of the second (synthetic fuels) and third (hydrogen) generation:

• LEWA ecoflow and triplex for metering of additives and conveying of hydrocarbons and deionates
• in high pressure processes: LEWA triplex process pumps as supply pumps for oil,
  100-2400 l/h, up to 250 bar, up to 100°C
• LEWA triplex process pump for methanol metering, 100-2400 l/h, up to 250 bar, up to 100°C

Considering the markets of the future, LEWA is the initiator and patron of the event series "Green Technolgies Day".
