Abstract:
In order to effectively y use the biomass resources for thermal applications, use of biomass pretreatment technologies like hydrothermal carb bonization are emerging. With the aim of studying the gasificcation performance of hydrothermal carbonized biomass ((biocoal) in high temperature air/steam medium, gasifica ation of two types of biocoal pellets produced from spentt grain and horse manure, was carried out in a fixed bed u updraft gasifier. Steam gasification gave syngas having 10ญญ11 MJ/Nm3 of LHV with both types of biocoal. The synga as yield and thus cold gas efficiency was higher with gasiffication of spent grain biocoal, but syngas purity in terms oof tar and particulates was better with gasification of horse e manure biocoal.
