The aim of this work is to study the air gasification of solid recovered fuel (SRF), and to compare it to the gasification of woody biomass (beech wood sawdust, and waste wood). This study focuses on the influence of several operating parameters: temperature - between 800 and 910 degrees C -, O-2/C ratio - between 0 (pyrolysis conditions) and 0.34, and addition of steam. Experiments are performed in a bubbling fluidized bed at 1.5 bar, with a solid feeding rate of 1-3 kg/h. The yield and composition of the product gas is particularly looked at, together with the repartition of carbon into the different types of products (gas species, tar molecules). Sulphur release to the gas phase is also investigated. Temperature has mainly an influence on H-2 and CO yields, which is attributed to char gasification enhancement. The addition of steam in fluidising gas induces an increase in oxygenated gas species yields (CO + CO2), related to char gasification improvement. It does not have any reforming influence on light hydrocarbon and tar, with even a slight inhibiting effect. Woody biomass and SRF show significant differences in product yields, which are qualitatively explained by the initial elemental composition and material content of each type of fuel. From a process point of view, the conversion efficiency improvement by varying the gasification conditions for SRF is limited compared to the higher efficiency obtained with woody biomass. Co-gasification of biomass possibly waste wood - and SRF, could be a way to improve the overall efficiency, and limit pollutant content.
