1. Investigation of the Effects of Introducing Hydrodynamic Parameters into a Kinetic Biomass Gasification Model for a Bubbling Fluidized Bed
University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för ekonomi, samhälle och teknikAbstract : Biomass is an alternative to fossil fuels that has a lower impact on the environment and is thus of great interest to replace fossil fuels for energy production. There are several technologies to convert the stored energy in biomass into useful energy and this thesis focuses on the process of gasification. READ MORE

2. Modeling and exergoeconomic analysis of biomass gasification in a downdraft gasifier
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemivetenskap (CHE)Abstract : In this work it is presented an equilibrium model, capable to predict the composition of the generated gas, its Lower Heating Value (LHV), the gasification efficiency, the ratio air/biomass and the ratio gas/biomass in a downdraft gasifier. The model describes the influence of the moisture content of the biomass and the gasification temperatures on the composition and properties of the produced gases, like the low heating value (LHV).

5. Assessment of Pollution Levels Resulting from Biomass Gasification
University essay from KTH/Kraft- och värmeteknologiAbstract : Today the large scale introduction of biomass gasification is hampered by health, safety and environmental issues which present a major barrier in the deployment of this technology. The condensate in particular resulting from producer gas cooling before use in gas engines is highly toxic and carcinogenic which, if not adequately controlled, can lead to detrimental impacts on human health and the environment.
