Biomass gasification - types and principlesAyisha586983
Biomass gasification is a thermochemical process that converts solid biomass materials into a gas mixture called syngas (synthesis gas), which is primarily composed of hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), and methane (CH4). This process involves partial oxidation of biomass in a controlled environment with a limited supply of oxygen or steam. Biomass gasification offers a versatile and sustainable method to produce renewable energy, chemicals, and fuels.
Process Heaters, Furnaces and Fired Heaters: Improving Efficiency and Reducin...Belilove Company-Engineers
A process heater is a direct-fired heat exchanger that uses the hot gases of combustion to raise the temperature of a feed owing through coils of tubes aligned throughout the heater. Depending on the use, these are also called furnaces or red heaters. Some heaters simply deliver the feed at a predetermined temperature to the next stage of the reaction process; others perform reactions on the feed while it travels through the tubes.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Gasification of biomass, MSW, waste-derived
fuels and residues is used as an thermal
treatment method to produce power and heat.
• Gasification is a thermo-chemical
process, classified between combustion and
pyrolysis, for producing energy.
• Presented in this paper is a new, recently
patented, 3-stage gasification scheme, designed
for all aforementioned types of fuels and for
producing a synthesis gas free of tar and dioxins.
4. • The proposed 3-stage gasification scheme comprises
of three stages:
i) pyrolysis,
ii) combustion and
iii) gasification.
• It is valid for municipal solid waste and any type of
biomass despite differences in chemical
composition.
• The innovation of this 3-stage gasification scheme is
based on the fact that the transition between
normal and reverse operation and vice versa is
achieved only by the proper rotation settings of four
air blowers, thus creating a new model of gaseous
flow management between the three
aforementioned stages.
5. • It can achieve a safe industrial-scale operation
while producing a gas free of harmful
components.
• It is suitable for small- to-medium scale
capacities.
• Overall electrical efficiency of 30% .
• Minimum environmental impacts well below
all existing thresholds.
6. MATERIALS AND METHODS
• Past trials for designing and constructing a
multi-stage gasification scheme were
performed by placing
(i) pyrolysis of fuel as first stage,
(Ii)combustion of Pyrolysis Gases (PG) as
second stage and, finally
(iii)charcoal gasification as the third stage of
the overall process.

8. • Burning hearth: Partial combustion of the charcoal is
performed, which provides the energy for the reactions at
the overlaying material layers. The remaining charcoal and
the ash are detached by moving the grate; then, they fall
downwards, pass through the buffer and combustion zones
to, finally, create the fixed bed of the gasification zone.
• Reduction layer: Part of the hot carbon dioxide, which is
produced from the hearth, is reduced via the charcoal into
carbon monoxide.
• Distillation layer: The volatiles of the fuel are separated
through a complicated sequence of pyrolytic reactions, The
solid fragment (charcoal, ash) falls into the reduction
zone, while the hot gases rise through the new incoming
fuel and they dry it.
• Drying layer: Fuel's water content is converted into
vapor, which departs together with the remaining gases.
9. • Most of the tars and dioxins which still exist
into the PG, when they cross the flame of the
torch, are burned and/or cracked.
• The produced synthesis gas is rich in H2 and
CO, has low contents of tars and dioxins and is
suitable for supplying internal combustion
engines.

11. • Presented in figure is the reversed operation
of the buffer zone, which is achieved by a
modification of the normal operation, in order
to gasify fuels with high water contents and/or
low calorific values.
• During the reversed operation of the buffer
zone, which is achieved by proper operation
settings of the air blowers, the flue gas from
the torch is divided into two streams; the up-
draught stream passes through the buffer
zone and enforces additional heat to the
pyrolysis bed, whereas the down-draught
stream feeds the gasification bed
12. • When feeding the gasifier with high-humidity
fuels, it becomes necessary to provide the
combustion torch with additional external
supply of gas (natural gas or propane) fuel, in
order to have enough energy for heating the
high vapor content which is now present in
the PG.
13. RESIDUE PROCESSING
• AWT- Ash Water Tank
• ECA- Exchanger of
Combustion Air
• EPA-Exchanger of Pyrolysis Air
• ESA-Exchanger of Additional
Steam
• GST-Gas Scrubber Tower
• BGO-Blow of Output Gas
• VSC-Venturi Scrubber
14. • Bottom ash holding - The bottom ash is separated
from the produced gas due to the gravity and
finally dips into a water tank (AWT) and onto a
conveyor belt.
• Heat reallocation - The preheaters of the flue gas
(ECA) and of the PG (EPA) are the devices (heat
exchanger) which implement the heat
reallocation in the system.
• Gas cooling and separation: The necessary
installations and their attributes for cleaning the
produced gas and making it suitable for feeding
an internal combustion engine are summarized
below:
15. • Gas Scrubber Tower (GST): a) Fly ash (>8 μm) is
trapped in this device. b) Gas is cooled down to
near-atmospheric temperature.
• First Baffle Scrubber (BS1): Separation of
different types of gases which exist in the
produced gas, (e.g. hydrochloric acid
(HCl), ammonia (NH3)), which are water-
soluble.
• Venturi Scrubber (VSC): Gas is sprayed with a
potassium-hydroxide (KOH) solution. Small particles
(> 1 μm) are held and sulfur di- oxide is converted to
potassium sulfate (K2SO4).
• Second Baffle Scrubber (BS2): Second stage of
sulfur dioxide conversion.
16. • Droplets holding: Rasching ring columns are
foreseen at the end of the aforementioned
devices (GST, BS1 and BS2) in order to divert
the existing droplets out of the gas flow.
• Fans: At the upper side of each tower of BS1
and BS2, the centrifugal fans BGO1 and BGO2
are respectively located; they balance the
existing pressure drop in the gas cleaning
devices.
17. STRATEGIC ANALYSIS
SWOT analysis for the three-stage gasification scheme
• Strengths
Potentially adequate to replace fossil fuelled
energy conversion.
Low volume of produced solid residues.
Low weight of produced liquid residues.
Appropriate gaseous flow management in the
direction of low tars, dioxins and emissions.
Electrical efficiency ~30
Decentralized technology
High efficiency rate of the reactor (~76%)
19. • Opportunities
Application in small-scale industries which
have available biomass residues
Application in small-medium municipalities-
CHP plant:
Generated electricity to the grid
Generated heat to appropriate heat customers
A developing market
Moving into new market segments that offer
improved profits
20. • Threats
Competitors have superior access to channels
or distribution
Change of the existing charging policies
Development of other competitive new
Waste-to-Energy advanced conversion
technologies
21. CONCLUSION
• The innovation of the presented three-stage
gasifier is characterized by the fact that the
transition from normal to reversed operation
is implemented via the existence of a buffer
zone, which is thus creating a new model of
gaseous flow management.
• This model can handle a wide range of
variations in water content and/or
composition of the inserted fuel.
