This work concerns a preliminary study of the combustion of chars made from two different biomass species, vine and kiwi pruning wastes. The study was performed in a fluidized bed combustor, operating in a bubbling bed regime. The pellets were manufactured in a different installation, Viseu...

The aim of this work was to assess the technical viability of glycerol/fat co-gasification. The gasification performance was studied in a downflow fixed bed reactor using steam as oxidizing agent. Tests were performed with a mixture of 10% of fat and 52% of water, and the effect of temperature...
