Abstract
An entrained flow reactor has been constructed in order to study gasification of biomass at high temperatures (1273-1673 K). High temperatures were chosen while particular interest was found in how to maximize the gas product formation without using a separate tar cracking step. It was further the incentative to investigate the influence of the high temperature on the product formation at short residence times (0.25-0.8 s) in different gas atmospheres (H20/N2CO2/N2).
The evaluation of the results was based on the feed burn-off, gas product composition, and the product distribution. The results indicated a 20-30% higher burn-off by increased water vapor concentration especially at lower temperatures, confirmed slower gasification rates in CO2compared to water vapor rich atmosphere, and showed minimum liquid formation at temperatures above 1473 K.
