High temperature steam gasification (HTSG) is a gasification technology which utilizes super-heated steam at a temperature above 1273K. This paper addresses the performance analysis of an updraft HTSG gasifier using a numerical model. The experimental data obtained from a demonstration-scale...

We have studied a high temperature steam gasification process to generate hydrogen-rich fuel gas from woody biomass. In this study, the performance of the gasification system which employs only high temperature steam exceeding 1200 K as the gasifying agent was evaluated in a 1.2 ton/day-scale...

This paper explored the feasibility of CO2 as alternative gasifying agent of steam to obtain higher thermal efficiency in biomass gasification. The effect of the gasifying agent on gas evolution and thermal efficiency was examined by using a lab scale downdraft gasifier. The results were also...
