Abstract
The present invention describes a method and device for pretreatment of organic material, more specific bio mass, for energy conversion, where said method comprises a first preheating step with a preheating vessel (), a hydrolysis step with a hydrolysis reactor () and a pressure reducing step with a pressure reduction vessel (), where the transfer of said organic material from the preheating vessel () to the hydrolysis rector () is effected by gravity and by creating a vacuum in the reactor (). This method results in a very fast transfer of material from the preheating vessel () to the reactor (). In addition, the filling volume of the reactor () is being controlled by a high frequency pressure sensor and supply of steam (A) to the top of the reactor in order to provide the necessary head space. The invention also describes a device for performing said method.
