Advances in biomass gasification
Influence of Feedstock, Temperature and Carrier Gas on Product Gas Composition in Indirect Gasification for Flexible Production of SNG and DME
Short Introductive summary
In the present work three different waste streams were tested as feedstocks in the lab-scale indirect gasifier (up to 5 kg/h) with steam at different temperatures. The product gas composition is mapped including the presence of contaminants such as H2S, NH3, HCN and HCl. The mass balances of the system will be presented in terms of carbon yield based on the total carbon input from the feedstock.

Presenter's biography
Berend Joost (Berend) Vreugdenhil holds an M.Sc. degree in Chemical Engineering from the Technical University Delft. In 2006 he started his career at ECN within the Syngas and SNG group, where research is focussed on developing the technology to produce sustainable natural gas from biomass. The first four years at ECN he was involved in the gasifier research, looking into the effect of bed materials on gas composition, temperature effects and the influence of gasifying medium. Next to this he also looked into the behaviour of tar and more precisely the condensation behaviour of tar in a producer gas.Since beginning of 2011 he is responsible of the tar removal technology developed by ECN, named OLGA, and is coordinating the research program into further optimizing this technology and broadening the range of applications of OLGA. In 2015 he changed in his role to Innovation Manager Gasification, which entails setting out program for gasification within ECN. The area he now is responsible for is gasification, gas cleaning and gas upgrading. Next to the production of substitute natural gas (SNG) from biomass/waste also the production of valuable chemicals (BTX, ethylene) are routes that are being developed
