Abstract:

Air-blown fluidized bed biomass gasification is well adapted for Combined Heat Power (CHP) applications based on a gas engine. However, this technology is not yet mature. Despite promising prototypes, CHP gasification needs further improvements to become the reference technology in the medium-size CHP market (1-10 MWe). This is the purpose of the GAMECO project (2011-2014) which aims at improving an existing technology by optimising its operation, increasing its feedstock flexibility and optimising its upscaling. Lab tests (< 1kg/h), pilot tests (50 kg/h) and modeling will be assessed to achieve a better understanding of the key points of Bubbling Fluidized Bed (BFB). Several feedstocks will be tested for this purpose.
