“…This gaseous fuel can be used to generate heat in boilers, electricity in turbines, hydrocarbons via Fischer-Tropsch processes and ethanol through biological conversion [13][14][15]. There are a wide number of biomass gasification technologies that are designed to process different feedstock; fixed bed and fluidized bed gasifiers are the two major categories [16]. Examples of fixed bed gasifiers are the downdraft, updraft, crossdraft and top-lit updraft gasifiers [17,18].…”

Abstract:The performance of a top-lit updraft gasifier affected by biomass (pine wood) particle size, moisture content and compactness was studied in terms of the biochar yield, biomass burning rate, syngas composition and tar content. The highest biochar yield increase (from 12.2% to 21.8%) was achieved by varying the particle size from 7 to 30 mm, however, larger particles triggered tar generation that reached its maximum of 93.5 g/m 3 syngas at 30-mm biomass particles; in contrast, the hydrogen content in syngas was at its minimum of 2.89% at this condition. The increase in moisture content from 10% to 22% reduced biochar yield from 12% to 9.9%. It also reduced the tar content from 12.9 to 6.2 g/m 3 which was found to be the lowest range of tar content in this work. Similarly, the carbon monoxide composition in syngas decreased to its minimum of 11.16% at moisture content of 22%. Finally, the biomass compactness increased biochar yield up to 17% when the packing mass was 3 kg. However, the addition of compactness also increased the tar content in syngas, but little effect was noticed in syngas composition.

“…Irrespective of gasifier configuration, the gasification process may be separated within four different sections: drying/preheating, pyrolysis/devolatilization, combustion as well as reduction/gasification region. This description of these four zones within the subsequent segments (Richardson et al, 2015). Fed biomass is dehydrated inside the top segment.…”

The transformation of biomass using steam gasification is a chemical route to facilitate changes in organic or residue supported carbonaceous substances addicted to carbon mono-oxide, hydrogen including carbon-dioxide , etc. However, to commercialize the method of steam gasification, the hurdles persist during the gasification as well as downstream processing. This article delivers a summary of the different approaches that are described in the previous studies to achieve H2 refinement and adaptation within the gasifier system. These include advanced aspects in the research and development of biomass gasification (alike advancements under the gasification operation). The upshot of diverse operating conditions like steam flow rate, operating temperature, moisture content, gasifier agents, residence time, biomass to air, steam to biomass, equivalence ratio, etc. towards the execution of biomass gasifier. This review accomplishes that the interdependence of several issues must be considered in point to optimise the producer gas.

“…The objective of this thermochemical treatment is to produce a mixture of CO, CO 2 , H 2 and CH 4 known as syngas (Molino, Chianese, and Musmarra, 2016;Pacioni et al, 2016;Pereira, Da Silva, De Oliveira, and Machado, 2012). The chemical reactions in this process take place in an environment with a limited amount of oxygen or another kind of oxidizing agent (air, steam, and a mixture of them) (Heidenreich and Foscolo, 2015;Richardson, Drobek, Julbe, Blin, and Pinta, 2015;Ramirez Rubio, Sierra, and Guerrero, 2011). During gasification, the biomass fed to the system is partially oxidized.…”

Biorefinery Concept Applied to Phytochemical Extraction and Bio-Syngas Production using Agro-Industrial Waste Biomass: A Review

2020

Second-generation biomass is a renewable resource that can address the increasing global energy demand and help to partially substitute the use of and dependence on fossil fuels, since it can be transformed into gas, liquid and/or solid fuels by physical, thermal, thermochemical and/or biological processes. However, its potential is not fully exploited because the process to extract the phytochemicals present in such organic byproducts has been largely omitted. Natural compounds are of interest to high value-added industries such as cosmetics and pharmaceutics. Therefore, this work proposes to thoroughly use such residual biomass in a biorefinery by a simultaneous, efficient and sustainable integration and operation of extraction processes to obtain phytochemicals and functional extracts. A thermochemical process known as gasification is implemented to produce syngas, which can be turned into fuels, chemicals, and energy such as methanol and synthetic gasoline. Furthermore, this review article describes the state of the art of each process and the concept of biorefinery.
