Abstract

The influence of the gasification temperature and Equivalence Ratio (ER) on the behavior of an industrial low-grade Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) was investigated in an air bubbling fluidized bed. The studied SRF exhibits an intermediate composition between biomass-rich SRF and plastic-rich SRF. Its Lower Heating Value (14 MJ/kg) is low since its ash content is very high (35 wt%). But surprisingly, the Cold Gas Efficiency and the Carbon Conversion were relatively high with this type of low-grade SRF. As a result, the syngas produced is quite rich (LHV > 8 MJ/m3 STP) and it may be valorized in gas engines. H2S, HCl, HCN and NH3 in the syngas were analyzed. These results confirm that inorganic gases are an important issue for the valorization of SRF as fuel in gasification processes, even if significant parts of S, N and Cl are not converted into inorganic gases.
