Thermal treatment of fleshing residue for producing syngas
In this paper, characteristics of syngas from the pyrolysis and gasification of tannery industry fleshing residues has been investigated. Pyrolysis and gasification behaviour were evaluated in terms of syngas composition and total energy production. Dried air and pure oxygen (99%) were used as gasification agents. Experiments were also erformed in oxygen–free media. H2, CO and CH4 levels in ...

Proton Power 25m3 DIY Syngas Storage
Based in Tennessee USA Proton Power Inc. (PPI) was founded by 2 remarkable entrepreneurs with previous successes in such diverse areas as aircraft brakes and neutron absorbers (don’t ask!). With this kind of history we knew their requirement was going to be beyond our usual scope. We weren’t wrong - they requested a 25m3 Base gas holder in which to store a syngas mixture with high ...

Co-gasification of wood and polyethylene with the aim of CO and H2 production
This article describes the gasification of polyethylene–wood mixtures to form syngas (H2 and CO) with the aim of feedstock recycling via direct fermentation of syngas to ethanol. The aim was to determine the effects of four process parameters on process properties that give insight into the efficiency of gasification in general, and particularly into the optimum gasification conditions for the ...

Measuring Gases Produced by Waste Gasification to Improve Control and Efficiency
Waste gasification is a type of waste to energy process where waste material is used as a fuel to create heat, electricity or other chemical products. Specifically, in waste gasification, the waste material is decomposed in such a way to produce gaseous products, often known as syngas, a combination of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and some carbon dioxide.Conventional incineration uses heat and ...

Using Venturi Scrubber Technology for Syngas Cleaning
As part of our nation's program to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, various gasification technologies are being applied. These processes take renewable organic material and, through the application of heat and pressure, convert the materials into syngas for further use. Arguably, in nearly all of these processes, the most critical design aspect is the reliable and efficient removal of ...

Green Energy: From Waste to Syngas Production
Syngas production from waste gasification is one way to produce renewable energy. However, varying waste compositions can make gasification challenging to control, resulting in inconsistent syngas compositions. Closely monitoring gas composition and adjusting process conditions during gasification can ensure consistent, high-quality syngas production. Infrared sensors are the ideal solution for ...

Study of the performance and exhaust emissions of a spark-ignited engine operating on syngas fuel
To resolve the problem of depletion of petroleum based liquid fuels, various solutions have been proposed. One of them is the use of gaseous fuels that are generated from the gasification of woods, namely syngas or wood-gas fuels, as full supplement fuels in spark ignition internal combustion (IC) engines. This fuel consists of nearly 40% combustible gases, mainly hydrogen and carbon monoxide ...

Advanced Application of Product Gases of Thermal Conversion of Biomass and Waste; Integration With the Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
The Netherlands Energy Research Foundation (ECN) is studying the advanced application of product gases from the thermal conversion of biomass and waste (B&W). The Fischer-Tropsch (FT) synthesis is the most promising as it affords diesel-like fuels of high quality and free from sulfur and aromatics. A slurry bubble FT reactor with an iron catalyst is the most suitable for B&W syngases. To optimize ...

Reviewing the factors affecting regenerative molten carbonate fuel cells
To evaluate the possibility to use molten carbonate fuel cell technology for high temperature electrolysis, the factors affecting the electrode reactions have been examined by surveying the published literature. The literature results showed that H2, CO2 and CO evolved as cathode off–gases and O2 as anode gas. At low polarisation, the discharge of oxide ions to O2 was the only anodic process; ...

Plasma gasification and vitrification of ash – conversion of ash into glass-like products and syngas
The Plasma Gasification and Vitrification of Ash (PGVA) system is a patented process that uses energy generated by plasma arcs along with the controlled addition of small amounts of air and steam to convert the organic portion of ash into a synthesis gas (gasification) and the inorganic portion into a glassy rock (vitrification). The vitrification of the ash’s inorganic portion ...

Discover The Multifaceted Uses of Syngas Analyzers: The Hidden Heroes of Industrial Progress
In the modern industrial production process, especially in the fields of chemical industry, petroleum and energy, the generation and application of synthesis gas (“syngas” for short) occupies an indispensable position. Synthesis gas is a mixed gas composed of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other gas components. It is widely used in many fields such as chemical raw materials, energy ...

The BioMax Waste-to-Energy System - A Continuing Success Story!
In 2005, Community Power Corporation (CPC) completed a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant for the U.S. Army that proved the BioMax® system could convert dry packaging materials from mobile kitchens to utility grade electricity using a standard Army, diesel fueled, 60 kWe Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG). Under Subsequent SBIR projects with the Army, CPC has continued to ...

Versatility of Byproducts from a Plastic Pyrolysis Plant for Diverse Industrial Applications
At the heart of a plastic pyrolysis plant lies the process of pyrolysis, wherein plastic waste is subjected to high temperatures in the absence of oxygen, leading to the breakdown of complex hydrocarbons into simpler compounds. This thermochemical transformation yields a trifecta of valuable byproducts: pyrolysis oil, syngas, and carbon black. Pyrolysis oil, often referred to as bio-oil or ...

Small-scale heat and power at B.C. mills
Fred Scott introduced the B.C. Bioenergy Network (BCBN) as an alliance between Pristine and Nexterra Energy Corp. BCBN is a network of 15–20 individuals, with 10 MW power plants located across B.C. at mill operations in forest communities. Nexterra has developed a proprietary gasification technology that “takes wood waste material and [produces] clean burning synthetic gas or syngas,” Scott said. ...

Cleaning Up Gasification Syngas
Documento sin título Introduction By definition, gasification is the art of changing a non-gaseous substance, such as a liquid or a solid, into a gas. By this definition, processes such as combustion, anaerobic digestion and pyrolysis would be classified as gasification. However, in today’s world, gasification is defined as any process, which produces a “synthesis gas” or a ...

Sol-gel synthesis and catalytic performance of Ni-Co/Al 2 O 3 -MgO-ZrO 2 nanocatalyst with different ZrO 2 -loadings used in CH 4 /CO 2 reforming for hydrogen production
A series of Ni-Co/Al 2 O 3 -MgO-ZrO 2 nanocatalysts with various ZrO 2 loadings were prepared via sol-gel method and used in CH 4 /CO 2 reforming. The nanocatalysts were characterised using XRD, FESEM, FTIR and BET analysis. The XRD patterns represented that by adding ZrO 2 to Ni-Co/Al 2 O 3 -MgO, the crystallinity declined and amorphous behaviour became intensified. According ...
