Fundamental studies of key aspects of gasification and cleaning/upgrading for syngas generation
Transformation and Distribution of Inorganic Species in the Gas Phase During Steam Gasification of Sorted Waste Streams
Short Introductive summary
The conversion of combustible waste into green gas through pyro-gasification addresses three major current issues: waste recovery, energy transition and GHG reductions. As competition for wood resources intensifies, the industry is now turning to other inputs (waste wood, SRF: Solid Recovered Fuel, etc.) that are richer in inorganic materials. This results in a much higher quantity and variety of inorganic pollutants in the syngas. These compounds can compromise the downstream use of syngas by causing corrosion or poisoning of metal catalysts. This work aims at studying the effect of feedstock composition (alone or mixed) and operating conditions on the fate of inorganic compounds. A better understanding of inorganics’ behaviour is expected, paving the way for in-situ solutions to decrease the syngas pollutants load (sulphur, nitrogen and chlorine).
