Experimental Study on Co-gasification of Wood Biomass and Post-extraction Rapeseed Meal: Methane-Rich Gasification

Abstract

The paper presents laboratory research on a new manufacturing technology of high-methane synthesis gas from biofuels, such as pine wood biomass and post-extraction rapeseed meal. The study was conducted in the gasifier with a power of 5 kW. As a result, the content of CH 4 in the syngas is from 5 to approximately 15%. The calorific value of the syngas [lower heating value (LHV)], depending upon the content of the preparation in the fuel (0−30%), varied from 4 to 9 MJ/Nm 3 . Exothermic balance of the gasification process was established for the following technological parameters: temperature over the grate, T 1 = 800 °C, temperature in the fuel layer, T 2 = 450 °C, and temperature over the fuel layer, T 3 = 850 °C.

The influence of the conversion medium stream on the gasification process of olive pits

“…This ensured autothermality of the process and caused the temperature to rise to T=~ 800°C. At this temperature, unburned organic vapors were cracked to form CH 4 [12,13].…”

“…The purpose of this work was to obtain a synthesis gas with an increased hydrogen content, which was obtained using dolomite, wh ich acted as a catalyst for the cracking of coal-based tars. The gasification and catalytic cracking process was carried out at a temperature of 800-900 o C. In [12] the authors present an overview of the technology of olive mill solid waste energetic usage, where they pay a lot of attention to gasification processes. The authors of the review point to a nature of gasificat ion technology to similar [11].…”

Leidenfrost evaporation of a single droplet of gasoline blends of ethanol

“…One of the key consumers of fossil fuels is transportation, for which in quoted Directive the European Commission has set the share of energy from renewable sources to be no less than 10% in 2020. In order to meet these standards it is required both to develop technologies allowing production of these fuels [3], [4], and to adapt equipment for their combustion [5]. This applies in particular to the ICE engines.…”
