Gasification campaigns in the 2MW ABFB

Gasification at industrial scale of challenging biomasses & feedstocks:

• High moisture content.
• High ash content.
• High fines content.
• Low density.

Verification of the behavior of a wide range of raw materials in the fluid bed gasification process using different types of bed materials.

Enlargement of the operating range of the plant with respect to design specifications.

• Reception and characterization of the raw material
• Acquisition, reception and preparation of bed material
• Feeding system testing
• Gasification test with air and with oxigen/steam mix
• Characterization of syngas composition by micro-GC
• Measurement of particle and tar content in gasification gas
• Raw and used bed material characterization
• Cyclone ash samples and filter ash samples (after combustion chamber) characterization
