Co-Gasification of Refuse Derived Fuel and Wood Chips in the Nong Bua Dual Fluidised Bed Gasification Power Plant in Thailand

Co-gasification of refuse derived fuel (RDF) and wood chips was experimented in the Nong Bua dual fluidised bed steam gasifier Thailand. The effect mass RDF pellets feed (R/F ratio) investigated on performance entire process conditions product gas properties. test results showed that addition small ratio up to 30% did not affect operation conditions. concentrations H2, CO, CO2, CH4 from a binary mixture were same ranges as pure chips. lower heating value high 13.2–13.6 MJ/Nm3 for all R/F fuels. It is concluded mixtures with percent 10–30% are good feedstocks gasification process. tar content, however, higher than must be completely removed before can utilised engine.
