Advanced biopower generation via gasification of biomass and municipal solid waste
(2018-12)The overall goal of this study was to develop and analyze efficient power generation systems through the downdraft gasification of biomass and municipal solid waste (MSW) for distributed power applications. This goal was ... -
Design and Testing of a Small-Scale Updraft Gasifier for Gasification of Eastern Redcedar
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-07-01)Eastern redcedar is considered a nuisance by many people in Oklahoma where the plant is taking over approximately 762 acres (3.0 square km) of rangeland per day. Gasification of eastern redcedar is one alternative for ... -
Devolatilization Characteristics of Cellulose, Hemicellulose, Lignin and the Selected Biomass During Thermochemical Gasification: Experiment and Modeling Studies
(Oklahoma State University, 2012-05-01)Pyrolysis and gasification are two promising thermochemical conversion technologies for conversion of biomass into fuels, chemicals and power. Devolatilization is the first major process that occurs in biomass gasification ... -
Effect Of Biomass Generated Producer Gas, Methane And Physical Parameters On Producer Gas Fermentations By Clostridium Strain P11
(Oklahoma State University, 2009-12-01)The effect of producer gas generated by gasification of Kanlow switchgrass was determined to investigate the robustness of Clostridium strain P11 for the integration of gasification-fermentation process in a lab scale. ... -
Effects of biomass feedstocks and gasification conditions on the physiochemical properties of char
(MDPI, 2013-08-06)Char is a low-value byproduct of biomass gasification and pyrolysis with many potential applications, such as soil amendment and the synthesis of activated carbon and carbon-based catalysts. Considering these high-value ... -
Effects of feed composition and gasification parameters on product gas from a pilot scale fluidized bed gasifier
(2007-07)Scope and Method of Study: Biomass gasification is an integral part of a holistic project where low-value feedstocks are converted into ethanol via a gasification fermentation process. Because microbial catalysts are used ... -
Effects of Torrefaction and Densification on Devolatilization Kinetics and Gasification Performance of Switchgrass
(Oklahoma State University, 2013-12-01)The overall goal of this research was to investigate effects of pretreatments (torrefaction at 230 and 270°C, densification, and combined torrefaction and densification) on biomass properties, devolatilization kinetics ... -
Gasification of Food Processing Byproducts an Economic Waste Handling Alternative
(Oklahoma State University, 2004-12-01)The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of gasification of Food Processing Byproducts (FPBs). Data was collected from three facilities of a major food processor in Oklahoma and potential savings were ... -
Life cycle assessment of biochar versus metal catalysts used in syngas cleaning
(MDPI, 2015-01-15)Biomass gasification has the potential to produce renewable fuels, chemicals and power at large utility scale facilities. In these plants catalysts would likely be used to reform and clean the generated biomass syngas. ... -
Life Cycle Assessment of Two Catalysts Used in the Biofuel Syngas Cleaning Process and Analysis of Variability in Gasification
(Oklahoma State University, 2014-07-01)Syngas known also as producer gas is the main product from biomass gasification process. This gas is considered as a renewable energy which can be converted into liquid fuels. Within syngas are significant amount of tars, ... -
Thermochemical biomass gasification: a review of the current status of the technology
(MDPI, 2009-07-21)A review was conducted on the use of thermochemical biomass gasification for producing biofuels, biopower and chemicals. The upstream processes for gasification are similar to other biomass processing methods. However, ...
