In this study, the energy generation potential of forest residues in Mediterranean Region Turkey are determined by using different gasifier technologies. Gasification is one conventional waste to conversion technologies for production. Syngas, end product gasification process, generally used internal combustion engines, turbines and boilers as a renewable fuel. Energy was estimated up-draft fix...

A laboratory, fluidized-bed gasifier is being researched as a means to gasify feedstocks in a process to produce ethanol from biomass. Fluidization characteristics of the bed, especially minimum (Umf) and complete (Ucf) fluidization velocities, were measured because they are critical to the operation of the gasifier. Fluidization properties of sand and chopped switchgrasssand mixtures of differ...

Abstract Advanced transportation biofuels have been the focus of intensive development since early 2000s, and gasification in combination with synthesis technologies represents a flexible production pathway to deliver fuels for heavy-duty transport sectors that are difficult electrify. This article is related pilot-scale process concept aiming smaller-scale plants than feasible fluidized-bed ga...

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 ...

Effects of different system parameters on the hydrodynamic behavior of a cold-model fluidized bed gasifier have been studied. Correlations developed for the Equivalence Ratio and Euler’s number on the basis of regression analysis have been validated by using the MATLAB coding. Comparison of calculated values of Equivalence ratio and Euler number against the experimentally observed values gives ...
