High-sodium lignite from the Freedom mine in North Dakota was tested in a Transport Gasifier at the Power Systems Development Facility (PSDF). The tests occurred in October 2003 and August 2004 for a total of 445 hours of operation. Due to its high sodium content, the Freedom mine lignite presented unusual challenges to gasifier operations. This paper discusses high-sodium lignite gasification ...

The second-generation bio aviation fuel production via Chemical Looping Gasification (CLG) of biomass combined with downstream Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is a possible way to decarbonize sector. CLG process has the advantage producing undiluted syngas without use an air-separation unit (ASU) and improved yield compared conventional gasification processes. This study based on modelling full ...

Abstract: Two modeling approaches, the scaling-law and CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) approaches, are presented in this paper. To save on experimental cost of the pilot plant, the scaling-law approach as a low-computational-cost method was adopted and a small scale column operating under ambient temperature and pressure was built. A series of laboratory tests and computer simulations were c...
