Air gasification of lignocellulosic biomass for power generation in Spain: Commercial plants

Conference ·
OSTI ID:115290
This research team, at Zaragoza University, has worked on biomass (lignocellulosic) gasification and pyrolysis for some years. Its work has been focused towards the development of downdraft moving bed air gasification systems. There is now a cooperation agreement between the company COMA and the Zaragoza University team to develop and market complete installations for electricity production from wastes. Several models have been developed in order to satisfy the needs of each customer (RG-50, 100, 250 and 500, the numbers indicating biomass consumption in kg/h). They can be mobile (built in a container for transportation) or fixed models (to be used {open_quotes}in situ{close_quotes}). Each installation consists of several units: gasifier (downdraft), air supply (blower and air preheater), gas conditioning (cyclone, filter and cooler) and power generation system (Caterpillar set sized for each biomass consumption).
