Syngas production by BFB gasification: Experimental comparison of different biomasses

The potential use of waste feedstocks (beached Posidonia Oceanica and Citrus peels) as fuels for energy recovery by gasification process in a BFB reactor was explored. A direct comparison between two biomasses with a traditional woody biomass (White pine) was carried out through TG-DTG analysis and gasification experiments at 1023 K, 1 bar, Equivalence Ratio equal to 0.3, and different Steam to Biomass inlet ratio (0.5–1.0).
