In this study, the effect of blending torrefied biomass and coal samples on entrained flow co-gasification was experimentally investigated. The results showed that blending torrefied biomass with coal improved the gasification efficiency and syngas quality compared to conventional coal gasification. The findings suggest that co-utilization of coal and biomass can contribute to energy, waste, and climate change issues.
In this study, the effect of blending selected torrefied biomass and lower-rank coal samples on entrained flow cogasification is experimentally investigated, and the results are compared with entrained flow gasification of coal samples. Three biomass samples were torrefied in a lab-scale torrefaction system to obtain a coal-like structure, coherent with the selected coal samples. 275 degrees C and 40 min were selected as the best-suited torrefaction condition for blending with the coal samples. Four 1:1 coal-torrefied biomass blends were prepared considering the ash and grindability properties for entrained flow co-gasification. The gasification simulations were carried out with Aspen HYSYS to assess the effect of the process conditions. The entrained flow gasifier with 15 kW capacity was built and operated between 1500 degrees C and 1200 degrees C with three coals and their four blends. The experimental results show methane (>1300 degrees C gasification temperature) and tar-free syngas composition. The results of entrained flow co-gasification experiments indicate higher cold gas efficiencies, better syngas quality, and carbon conversion with torrefied biomass blending compared to entrained flow gasification of coal samples. Coutilization of coal and biomass can be part of a short to medium-term contribution to energy, waste, and global climate change problems.
