Atmospheric entrained-flow gasification of biomass and lignite for decentralized applications

The present study deals with the development of a small-scale entrained-flow gasification technology for the decentral use of biomass. Gasification experiments with woody biomass in a wide range of particle diameters dS in the fractions 0.04 < dS < 0.11 mm, 0.20 < dS < 0.25 mm, 0.25 < dS < 0.50 mm, and 0.50 < dS < 1.0 mm were carried out in an atmospheric electrically-heated entrained-flow gasifier at temperatures between 950 and 1100 °C.
