Abstract
The effect of wood addition on supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of poultry manure is investigated for broiler-derived wastes consisting of manure and the bedding material such as wood sawdust. SCWG of poultry manure (0.5 wt %) with Eucalyptus wood (0–0.3 wt %) is conducted in a continuous flow system for the temperature range of 550–650 °C and a pressure of 25 MPa. The organic matter in the poultry manure is mainly converted into fuel gases such as H2, CO2, and CH4. During SCWG of poultry manure and wood, not only decomposition of both but also reactions between their decomposition products occur. Wood biomass (cellulose and hemicellulose) are easily decomposed in SCW compared to poultry manure. However, at higher loading of wood in the mixture, the existence of inhibiting compounds in the wood decelerates the gas producing pathways in the overall reactions. The usage of activated carbon in the feedstock mixture improves the gasification efficiency.
