“…In the case of oak, the ash content is higher than that reported for deciduous trees in the literature, typically below 2.5% wmf (González Martínez et al, 2018). This might be due to the presence of leaves and thin trunks with a high percentage of bark in the studied oak (da Silva Perez et al, 2015;Vassilev et al, 2012).…”

“…The extractives content of the 6 biomasses is quite high, which is typically a characteristic of agricultural and tannin-containing biomasses, such as oak (da Silva Perez et al, 2015;González Martínez et al, 2018). The valorization of the molecules contained in the extractives fraction could be the object of a more thorough study, considering its composition and the suitable extraction method from biomass (Detcheberry et al, 2016).…”

Low-Cost Syngas Shifting for Remote Gasifiers: Combination of CO2 Adsorption and Catalyst Addition in a Novel and Simplified Packed Structure

et al. 2018

This paper presents the technical validation of a novel, low-complexity alternative based on the inclusion of a patented (IEPI-MU-2016-185) packed bed for improving the performance of remote, small-scale gasification facilities. This study was carried out in an updraft, atmospheric-pressure gasifier, outfitted with a syngas reflux line, air and oxygen feed, and an upper packed-bed coupled to the gasification unit to improve the syngas quality by catalytic treatment and CO 2 adsorption. The experimental facility is located in the rural community San Pedro del Laurel, Ecuador. Gasification experiments, with and without packed material in the upper chamber, were performed to assess its effect on the syngas quality. The assessment revealed that the packed material increases the carbon monoxide (CO) content in the syngas outlet stream while carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) was reduced. This option appears to be a suitable and low-complexity alternative for enhancing the content of energy vectors of syngas in gasification at atmospheric pressure since CO/CO 2 ratios of 5.18 and 3.27 were achieved against reported values of 2.46 and 0.94 for operations which did not include the addition of packed material. It is concluded that the upper packed-bed is an active element able to modify syngas characteristics since CO 2 content was reduced.

Global agricultural and forest residues hold promise for renewable fuel production through thermo‐catalytic reforming (TCR). Limited data exists on TCR outcomes for regions known for cold conditions like Canada. This study used a 2 kg h−1 TCR unit for the intermediate pyrolysis/reforming of agricultural (wheat straw pellet, WSP) and forest (softwood pellet, SWP) residues. Maximum bio‐oil yields were 8.43% for wheat straw pellets and 7.99% for softwood pellets at 400 and 500°C reactor and reformer temperatures. Feedstock, bio‐oil, and biochar properties were analyzed through proximate and ultimate analysis. At 550°C reactor and 700°C reforming temperatures, 70.73% of the wheat straw pellet‐based gas yield contained 36.11 vol.% H2 and 11.08 vol.% CH4, giving a higher heating value (HHV) of 12.54 MJ kg−1. A high concentration of CH4 (22.02 vol.%) in the softwood pellet‐based gas gave an HHV of 17.94 MJ kg−1. The low viscosity (3.9 mPa · s−1) and total acid number (7.3 mg KOH g−1) wheat straw pellet‐based bio‐oil had an O/C molar ratio of 0.09 and an HHV of 35.80 MJ kg−1. The 400/600°C reactor/reformer temperatures gave the lowest area percentage of mono‐aromatic (16 vol.%) and polycyclic aromatic (11.20 vol.%) compounds in the softwood pellet bio‐oil. The O/C molar ratio (0.5–0.6) in softwood pellet biochar elevated the higher heating value from 32.37 to 34.57 MJ kg−1. The study results guide optimal TCR unit operation in cold climates like Canada with local feedstocks, emphasizing its notable hydrogen production over bio‐oil and biochar.
