Abstract

Gasification is recognized as one of the most promising technologies to convert low quality fuels into more valuable ones. The principal problem related with the use of biomass in gasification processes is the high amount of tar released during the pyrolysis step. It is thus necessary to recover tar and to transform it in lighter combustible gas species such as CH4, CO and H-2. In this work the experimental results of a medium industrial scale plant fed with olive husk and having a capacity of 250 kWt are presented. The gasifier is composed by a up-draft reactor which is followed by a secondary fixed bed reactor filled with alluminium oxide spheres having high porosity dedicated to the tar conversion reactions. The syngas is then used to feed an internal combustion engine with a production of 60 kWe.
