Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Fluidized Bed Combustion

Abstract

A pressurized gas at high temperatures with low impurities often is a basic requirement for applications for biomass gasification. Therefore, the Vienna University of Technology, in cooperation with the Austrian Bioenergy Centre, operates a pressurized gasification pilot plant in order to investigate thepressurized gasification process and estimate its potential. Within the scope of this paper this test facility as well as its operation behavioris described. Furthermore the parameters pressure, gasification temperature, lambda value and gasification agent have been investigated regarding to their influenceon the producer gas composition and arepresented and discussed in the following.
