Gasification of yeast industry treatment plant sludge using downdraft Gasifier

Gasification of Densified Sludge and Wastepaper in a Downdraft Packed-Bed Gasifier

The co-disposal of densified sludge and wastepaper in a co-current flow packed bed gasifier represents new application of the thermal gasification process. Advantages of this technolo a gy include lower costs than other incineration or pyrolysis technologies, simple construction and operation, and the ability to a variety of fuels including agricultural wastes and other b.iomass materials in ad...

Thermodynamics Analysis of Refinery Sludge Gasification in Adiabatic Updraft Gasifier

Limited information is available about the thermodynamic evaluation for biomass gasification process using updraft gasifier. Therefore, to minimize errors, the gasification of dry refinery sludge (DRS) is carried out in adiabatic system at atmospheric pressure under ambient air conditions. The objectives of this paper are to investigate the physical and chemical energy and exergy of product gas...

Experimental Studies on Gasification of Pine Wood Shavings in a Downdraft Biomass Gasifier

Biomass is the oldest form of energy used by human beings, mainly in the form of wood. It is a renewable source of energy and has many advantages from an ecological point of view. The direct combustion of biomass generates concern among environmentalists, as it is incomplete and inconsistent and may produce organic particulate matter, carbon monoxide and other organic gases. Biomass gasificatio...

Modeling and Simulation of Downdraft Biomass Gasifier

Kinetics-free equilibrium models can predict the exit gas composition, given the solid composition and the equilibrium temperature, but they cannot be used for reactor design Hence, there is a need to develop a combined transport and kinetic model which takes into account of the kinetics of homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions, transport of volatiles produced, heat and mass transfer...
