BioSNG Demonstration Project
A 1 MW SNG Process Development Unit (PDU) is erected within the EU project
BioSNG and allows the demonstration of the complete process chain from wood to
SNG in half-commercial scale (2006-2009).
A consortium consisting of four partners is
responsible for the PDU:
CTU – Conzepte Technik Umwelt AG
Repotec GmbH
Paul Scherrer Institute
Technical University Vienna
The project BioSNG is co-funded by

• June 24th : inauguration –
CNG cars were fuelled
using BioSNG from wood
• June 2009 CNG-car was
successfully used for
1000km with BioSNG
• No more activities since
end of 2009

A Slurry-Reactor is used. A slurry reactor is a 3-phase
reactor, where the solid catalyst is suspended in the
liquid product and the gas goes from the bottom to the
top and keeps the catalyst in suspension.
The main advantages are:
• Simple and cheap construction
• Excellent heat transfer
• No hot spots and no temperature gradient along the
reactor
• Easy to scale up
The following catalysts were used till now:
• Haber Bosch catalyst (mainly for start up)
• Research catalyst (based on cobalt ruthenium,
produced from University of Strasbourg)
• Commercial cobalt catalyst
• Commercial iron catalyst
Actual 1300 hours of operation, without any change in
activity
