Operating and Performance Gasification Process Parameters

Abstract: This paper aims to put together important key operational and performance parameters of a gasification process indicating their definitions along with their individual influence on the gasification conditions and/or products. Parameters considered are equivalence ratio, superficial velocity, steam to biomass ratio, gasification temperature, composition and physical properties of biomass, inlet temperature and composition of the oxidant and tar content, It was found that a gasification process is dependent on each parameter by somehow. In fact, optimization of these parameters are of great importance on gasification product (s).

Keywords: Gasification, parameter and superficial velocity
