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 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 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, ...
