Abstract
The study has been performed to determine fundamental combustion characteristics of syngas. Three technologies were selected to produce the syngas; High Temperature Agent Gasifier (HTAG), Entrained Flow Gasifier (EFG) and Circulating Fluidized Bed Gasifier (CFBG). Although the material used for production of syngas was the same, wood biomass, the compositions of syngas obtained were different. The adiabatic flame temperatures were determined at different air to fuel ratio. The maximum adiabatic temperature for HTAG, EFG and CFBG syngas at stoichiometric condition were 1846 K, 2250 K and 2234 K respectively. It has been observed that combustion of CFBG syngas produces more nitrogen oxide (NOx) than when using syngas of EFG. The high NOx in CFBG is caused by the high methane content, which increases the adiabatic flame temperature to 2200 K at stoicheometric condition. The lowest NOx emission was observed in HTAG syngas. The adiabatic temperature increased linearly with the preheating temperature, whilst oxygen enrichment increased the adiabatic temperature. It has been concluded that syngas produced from EFG and CFBG are better candidate as gaseous fuel in combustion chamber than HTAG syngas.
