Pellets/Briquettes
– Easier to handle and transport
– Easier to store– Easier to use– Standardize various
feedstocks– Much cleaner combustion – More expensive than
natural gas

Combustion in small scale facilities
• Low net CO2 emissions
• High particulates PM2.5
• High Volatile Organic Carbon
• High Carbon Monoxide
• High Polycyclic Aromatics
Fireplaces are really bad!

Combustion in large power plants
• Effective particle collectors are needed!
• Dioxins emissions in both particles and gas:– Worst for wood scrap (demolition and construction sites)– Can be reduced with expensive additives
• Fouling: because of low ash sintering temperature– Wood: 1000 °C– Bark: 850 °C– Most agricultural residues: around 800 °C – Lower combustor temperature: lower thermodynamic efficiency
• Straws, cereals, grains and fruit residues have more ash, N, Cl and S than wood– More emissions of NOx, SOx, HCl, dioxins

Types of application for the gas
• Fuel
– Replace natural gas for heat generation
– Power generation:
• Modified diesel generators
• Gas turbines
– Substitute transportation fuel
• Syngas
– To produce chemicals and
advanced fuels
35
![Page 36: Advanced Thermal Treatment Technologies · •Cedric Briens, Senior NSERC –ExxonMobil –Syncrude Industrial Research Chair in Fluid Coking Technologies •Dominic Pjontek •Charles](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042208/5eac2ca3d8efc304046fbc96/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Gasification vs. Combustion
• Combustion of a gas is much better controlled than the combustion of a solid fuel:
– Much less pollution
– Better temperature control
• Easier to retrofit plants with gas burners
• Easier to distribute fuel to many locations within a plant
• Can fuel small electrical power generators

Husk Power Systems
• Gasifiers connected to old diesel generators
• Generate electricity from rice husks
• Microgrids for very poor areas of India that currently have no power
• > 80 plants• Cost = $ 0.13 – 0.15 /

Gasification agent and gas quality
• Biomass + air + (steam) → low energy gas– Dilution by N2
– LHV = 3-7 MJ/Nm3
• Biomass + pure oxygen + (steam) → medium energy gas– No dilution by N2
– LHV = 12-28 MJ/Nm3
• Biomass + steam + additional heat → medium energy gas– Energy balance requires additional heat transferred to
reactor– LHV = 10-18 MJ/Nm3

Gasifier types
• Fixed beds of biomass:– The bed of solids actually moves down slowly– Direction of gases and vapors:
• Up: “updraft”• Down: “downdraft”
• Fluidized beds:– Usually a fluidized bed of sand particles– Bubbling bed:
• Sand remains in place
– Circulating bed:• Sand is circulated between different vessels• Sand may be used as a heat carrier
