Abstract:
This study focuses on lab-scale fluidized bed reactor gasification of olive mill waste and the effect of different parameters on the product gas and gasification procedure stability. Olive mill residue is a bioresource, actively produced in the Mediterranean area. This study aims to define the optimal conditions for olive mill residues gasification in the most efficient way. Another important outcome should be dealing with operational problems, such as agglomeration and tar reduction. For the purpose of this study, olive residues were gasified, testing the effect of different temperatures (700-885°C), equivalence ratios (ER ~ 0.25 – 0.35), addition of steam (air/steam gasification), and type of bed material (silica sand, olivine) on the quality of the product gas.
