Abstract [en]
Reforming of tars and methane (CH4) in syngas is a significant challenge for low-temperature biomass gasification. For a dual fluidised bed gasifier (DFBG), catalytic bed materials are usually used to promote the reforming reactions. Intensive contact between gas and catalytic bed material at high temperature enhances the internal tar/CH4 reforming. The MIUN gasifier, built for research into synthetic fuel production, is a dual fluidised bed gasifier (DFBG). The results with different bed materials (silica sand, olivine and Fe-impregnated olivine) give roughly equivalent amounts of methane and gravimetric tar in the raw untreated syngas, and need to be reduced to an acceptably low level. The gasification research group at MIUN investigates a novel design in the MIUN gasifier, to increase the gasification efficiency, suppress the tar generation and to upgrade the syngas quality. The first step is taken towards a novel design in the MIUN gasifier. The application is expected to significantly enhance the syngas quality.
