چکیده
Description: Gasification involves the conversion of carbon sources without combustion to syngas, which can be used as a fuel itself or further processed to synthetic fuels. The technology provides a potentially more efficient means of energy generation than direct combustion. This book provides an overview of gasification science and engineering and the production of synthetic fuels by gasification from a variety of feedstocks. Part one introduces gasification, reviewing the scientific basis of the process and gasification engineering. Part two then addresses gasification and synthentic fuel production processes. Finally, chapters in part three outline the different applications of gasification, with chapters on the conversion of different types of feedstock.

متن کاملOn a Numerical Model for Gasification of Biomass Materials: An Alternative Method to Combustion
In this paper, a thermochemical equilibrium model is used to predict the performance of a downdraft biomass gasifier. Numerical results are shown to be in good agreement with those of the experiments. Different biomass materials are tested using the model, and forest residual is shown to be the most energetic one. For this material, the gasification temperature, syngas composition and calorific...

متن کاملUtilization of char from biomass gasification for onsite energy production – Introduction and modelling of a secondary reactor
Gasification of biomass as a technological option for energy conversion is a concept that is widely discussed and taken into consideration. Due to financial incentives, i.e. increased feed – in tariffs, several small scale gasification units have been developed in Europe. In principle, the two main products of gasification are syngas, which is a gaseous fuel and char, which is a solid fraction ...
