“…It is important to prevent an excessive amount of these contaminants from reaching the engine to maintain the operation and endurance of components such as valves, combustion chamber, and pistons [36]. Tar yield depends on the gasifier type [37] and the downdraft reactors produce syngas with a low tar content [38,39] and, therefore, was chosen to implement this very simple filtration stage. The fuel tank was removed from the generator for safety reasons.…”

Climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss are prompting production systems to shift from a fossil-based economy to a circular bio-based one. In this context, biomass gasification is a promising alternative to fossil fuels that can contribute to power generation in rural communities and remote areas as well as provide a sustainable source of energy for developed countries. In this work, exhaust gas emissions (CO, NOx, and SO2) of two syngas-fueled micro-scale generators were measured. The first system is a commercial biomass gasifier genset, whereas the second is composed of a laboratory-scale gasifier prototype and a portable petrol generator. For this second facility, emissions were measured both running on gasoline and on syngas. The comparison was performed both on the pollutant concentration and on their cumulative amount. This comparison was made possible by calculating the exhaust gas flow by knowing the combustion stoichiometry and fuel consumption. The results showed a much lower pollutant concentration running on syngas compared to gasoline. In particular, considering the best configurations, every cubic meter of exhaust gas released running on syngas contains about 20 times less CO and almost one-third less NOx compared to gasoline. Moreover, the cumulative amount of emissions released was also considerably lower due to the lower exhaust gas flow (about 25%) released running on syngas.

“…11 Aspen Plus® is a soware tool that can simulate chemical reactions in the petroleum sector, chemical processes, and biomass gasication. 12 While steady-state biomass gasication modelling has gained prominence, dynamic modelling and control are essential to evaluate the dynamic operability of the plant under varying environmental conditions. 13 Most research employs PI/PID controllers to regulate temperature, ow, pressure, and other process factors, 14,15 but modern control research includes multivariate models that incorporate Predictive Model Control (MPC).…”
