Abstract
The fluidization characteristic of biomass in a 0.28 m-ID Plexiglas circulating fluidized bed was studied. The velocity distribution and voidage distribution under fast fluidization were examined. The performance of a 1 MWe Circulating Fluidized Bed Gasifier (CFBG) for power generation, in operation in Jiedong City, Guangdong Province, China, with a 2 m dia and a total height of 8.5 m, was also analyzed. The operation temperature had a strong impact on gas efficiency, conversion of carbon, gas productivity, and gas composition. About 60.1-81.8% gas efficiency and 56.2-92.7% carbon conversion could be achieved when the temperature was about 630-1042 K for sawdust. The successful operation of the 1 MWe CFBG demonstration plant for power generation showed CFB as a reactor for biomass gasification presenting a bright future. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the AIChE Spring Annual Meeting - The 5th World Congress on Particle Technology (Orlando, FL 4/23-27/2006).
