Operation of the TAMU Fluidized Bed Gasifier Using Different Biomass FeedstockPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: 2008 Providence, Rhode Island, June 29 – July 2, 2008 084935.Authors: Amado Latayan Maglinao Jr., Sergio Canzana Capareda Keywords: Fluidized bed gasifier, poultry litter, woodchips, cotton gin trash The fluidized bed gasifier (FBG) developed at the Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas was tested using poultry litter, wood chips and cotton gin trash (CGT) as feedstock. The FBG has a diameter of 305 mm and operates at a temperature approximately 760°C (1400°F) and a feeding rate about 70 kg/hr. The synthesis gas produced was analyzed. Preliminary tests showed that the gas quality is lower than the previous runs due to a decrease in hydrogen production. |
