Abstract
A biomass hydrothermal decomposition apparatus that feeds a solid biomass materialfrom one side of an apparatus body, feeds pressurized hot waterfrom the other side, to hydrothermally decompose the biomass materialwhile bringing the biomass materialinto counter contact with the pressurized hot water, dissolves hot-water soluble fractions in hot water, discharges the pressurized hot water to outside from the one side of the apparatus bodyas a hot-water effluent, and discharges a biomass solidto the outside from the other side. The biomass hydrothermal decomposition apparatus includes: an internal-temperature cooling unit that rapidly drops a temperature after performing hydrothermal decomposition for a certain period of time; temperature measuring units Tto Tthat measure an internal temperature; and a controllerthat controls an internal temperature to be maintained at a predetermined cooling temperature by the internal-temperature cooling unit based on temperature measurement results obtained by the temperature measuring units Tto T.
