Abstract

In this study, thermochemical biomass gasification was performed on a self-design fluidized-bed reactor with pure steam as gasification media. A two-stage gasification process in the same fluidized bed reactor was adopted. The goal was to investigate the effects of temperature, steam to sawdust ratios on components and lower heating value of the product gas. Over the ranges of the experimental conditions used, H2 and CO contents in the product gas varies from 67.58% to 74.9%, and gas lower heating value between 10719.09 kJ/Nm3 and 12002.44 kJ/Nm3. The results showed that the top two in the product gas was H2 and CO. With an increase of temperature, H2 and CO contents increased, whilst CH4 and CO2 contents and gas lower heating value decreased. The contents of H2 and CO2 increase with the rise of steam to sawdust, whilst CH4 and CO content showed a decreasing trend.
