AVA HTC-Module

SYSTEM OVERVIEW OVERVIEW FOOTPRINT AND TECHNOLOGY

At the heart of every AVA-CO2 HTC-plant is the HTC-module. Up Typical plant layout Flash Tank Low
to six HTC-reactors can be served by one mixing tank. Once the with two HTC-modules Flash Tank High
HTC-process is completed the reactors are emptied into a Flash
Tank High and Flash Tank Low. From there the slurry containing
the carbon is transfered into the separation and drying system. Reactor
