Thermochemical conversion of biomass via the Georgia Tech entrained pyrolysis/gasification process. Final report, July 1, 1980-March 31, 1982
The revised program consisted of four tasks: Task 1, Exploratory pyrolysis and gasification research; Task 2, Engineering design of entrained pyrolyzer; Task 3, Procure and assemble equipment components, materials and supplies for the entrained pyrolyzer; and Task 4, Prepare a final report on the work performed under the contract. This final report summarizes the progress achieved in each of these tasks. The design and major components of the entrained pyrolyzer system are discussed in detail. Chemical analyses were performed on input feed materials and pyrolytic products. Appendix C describes the 6-inch tube furnace experiment; Appendix D describes the falling velocity of wood particles; Appendix E describes the thermogravimetric analysis of ground wood; Appendix F describes free-fall pyrolysis experiments; Appendix G describes pyrolysis in a rotating 2-inch tube furnace; Appendix H describes the gasification of wood char; Appendix I describes the energy and material balances for the experimental pyrolysis system; Appendix J describes the estimation of cyclone parameters; and Appendices K and L describe the sampling and analytical procedures.
