  • Wood syngas as co-fuel in industrial furnaces [Elektronski vir]
    Senegačnik, Andrej ; Kuštrin, Igor ; Sekavčnik, Mihael
    One of options to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions is the use of renewable energy sources, including wood biomass. Wood biomass is not directly usable as a fuel for most of industrial furnaces. ... Nevertheless biomass can replace a certain portion of the fossil fuel by means of a gasifier where biomass is gasified with air. Resulting combustible wood syngas is then collected and introduced to the furnace to replace a portion of fossil fuel energy. Fossil fuel replacement ratio is strongly influenced by the composition and thermodynamic and transport properties of wood syngas which depend strongly on biomass composition, especially moisture content. For the operation of heating systems requiring low-temperature heat only the quantity of energy released by the combustion is relevant. For proper operation of the furnaces requiring high temperature heat, for example lime burning or melting of metal besides the quantity of energy many other parameters are also important: temperature of the resulting flue gas, thermodynamic and transport properties of the flue gas, the flue-gas mass flow, etc. Because of these limitations generally we cannot completely replace fossil fuels with wood biomass. The article analyzes the impact of biomass composition on the properties of wood syngas and it's suitability to partially replace fossil fuels in some industrial furnaces.
