Char quality and tar information interdependence
A core group of Danish researchers and industrial companies has establised considerable know-how in the gasification field with the aim of producing gasifiers for CHP purposes. In France a similar expertise has been developed partly with the aim of producing small scale gasifiers for electricity production, and partly with the aim of producing syngas for liquid biofuel production.
In this project the research environments from Denmark and France will be joined. Practical experience from Danish stage gasification projects has led the consortium to establish the hypothesis that the tar content in gasification gas from a staged gasifier or a thermal tar cracker with a char bed is dependent on the char quality i.e. the conversion of the char. The main purpose of this project is to investigate further into the relations between the interdependence between char quality and tar formation and thermal decomposition. The investigation consists of the construction of a lab-scale gasification unit including a pratical experiment combined with a literature study. The results from this project will be used for optimising the tar decomposition process in staged gasifiers and to obtain a better understanding and design of a gas cleaning system for syngas production
