Abstract. Water hyacinth being one of the top invasive aquatic plants has brought upon various challenges towards humanity and environment. The magnitude menace uncontrollable growth spread water sparked interest researchers in identifying its potential as a biomass feedstock for biofuel production. Biomass gasification is deemed promising green technology which capable converting into value-ad...

Gasification is a promising thermochemical technology used to convert waste materials into energy with the introduction of low amounts an oxidant agent, therefore producing environmental impact that lower when compared incineration and landfilling. Moreover, gasification allows sustainable management wastes reduces use fossil fuels responsible for increment greenhouse gases. This work aimed per...

Abstract This research work proposes an integrated gasification plant for simultaneous generation of renewable electricity and drying olive pomace, a thick sludge with moisture content close to 60–70% (wet basis), which constitutes by far the most abundant by-product in Spanish oil industry. Due its massive rate production increasing associated transportation costs, pomace management currently ...

A substantial number of off-grid olive oil mills in Morocco are powered by diesel-fired generators, which hugely contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In this research work, a biomass gasification combined heat power (CHP) plant fueled with local by-products was explored as renewable alternative electrify country. The case study considered CHP rated 80 kWe, order enable adap...

In order to accurately anticipate the proficiency of downdraft biomass gasification linked with a water–gas shift unit produce biohydrogen, model based on an artificial neural network (ANN) approach is established estimate specific mass flow rate biohydrogen output plant different types biomasses and diverse operating parameters. The factors considered as inputs models are elemental proximate a...

In this study, carbon based ashes were produced by the wooden biomass pyro-gasification plant CMD ECO20. ECO20 is a micro-scale combined heat and power system powered with biomass, under development Italian company Costruzioni Motori Diesel (C.M.D) S.p.A. It an integrated combining downdraft gasifier, spark ignition internal combustion engine, electric generator syngas cleaning devices, it able...

Biomass gasification technology is a promising process to produce stable gas with wide range of applications, from direct use the synthesis value-added biochemicals and biofuels. Due high capital/operating costs necessity for prudent management thermal energy exchanges in biomass process, it important advanced sustainability metrics ensure that environmental other factors are addressed benefici...

Handling of bulk solids takes place in gasifiers either at the feed point or at the section of discharging waste and residues of the combustion and gasification. In large gasifiers, significant amounts of waste are expected to be produced, hence a proper gasifier design that allows an effective discharge of the waste from its bottom is essential for a smooth and reliable gasification. Poor gasi...

−− With the purpose of contributing to the energetic valuation of the solid wastes generated by the Colombian agricultural industry, a practical methodology for the design of a fluidized bed gasifier for rice husk on pilot scale was developed. The gasifier equipment, made up of a reaction chamber of 0.3 m of internal diameter and 3 m of overall height, was designed from theoretical and experime...
