Disclosed is a reactor and method for thermochemically degrading wet biomass without the need for prior drying, in particular microalga-rich substrates. The invention provides a vertical continuous multiphase reactor (VCMR) that simultaneously, progressively and continuously carries out the steps of evaporation, pyrolysis, gasification and combustion, in separate chambers, using indirect heating. The reactor operates at pressures below atmospheric pressure to increase thermal and productive efficiency, using a fraction of the same products as fuel to achieve thermal self-sufficiency. A system for instant evaporation at low temperature by means of adiabatic expansion is used. The reactor has high efficiency and high yield, requiring minimum space, and can be movable. The products obtained from the reactor are synthesis gas, biocarbon and bio-oils, with uses in energy, agriculture, cosmetics, health and construction. The invention also provides a method for obtaining hydrocarbons and energy from high-moisture biomass, wherein the steps are carried out continuously and the method does not need to be interrupted to add new wet biomass for conversion.

Various techniques are described for enhanced combustion of hot water extraction (HWE) derived liquor. For example, the HWE derived liquor can be pre-treated prior to introduction into a combustion chamber. The pre-treatment can include subjecting HWE derived liquor to filtration to remove suspended solids, evaporation to produce a first stage concentrated HWE liquor; additional concentration to produce a second stage concentrated HWE liquor; additional filtration to remove additional suspended solids; and pre-heating to produce a preheated HWE liquor. The preheated HWE liquor can be atomized and combined with pre-heated combustion air supplied into a combustion chamber to effect combustion of the HWE derived liquor.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated treatment method of two-stage submerged combustion evaporation for organic waste liquid, the organic waste liquid to be disposed flowing into two evaporation chambers in succession for two-stage submerged combustion evaporation. The two evaporation chambers are provided in one evaporation tank and communicate with each other at the bottom of the evaporation tank, the organic waste liquid enters a first evaporation chamber from a raw liquid inlet pipe, and the organic waste liquid flows from the first evaporation chamber to a second evaporation chamber during submerged combustion evaporation. The method has advantages of improving the evaporation concentration efficiency, reducing the numbers of evaporators and transport pipes of all sorts of gases and liquids and saving energy, saving the area occupied and the cost, while simplifying treatment process and facilitating operation management.
