Dear Prasad Thank you for a very clear pinpointing of the fundamental problem of “inventory bed” gasification technology.
If you have tars you have problems that are almost impossible to handle with in the economy a gasifier can expext to operate with in. If you reduce the temperature you get more tars and a high char loss. If you raise the temperature the tar problem reduces you reduce the char loss and increase the loss as latent heat in the gas - and you get klinker. Staged gasification – Viking – Double feuer – NOTAR – TKE – Wamsler and a number other designs have managed to reduce the tar content in the gas considerably – for some close to zero – but they are all facing high temperature engineering challenges and none have proven real reliably operation for many thousand hours. The challenges of all these constructions are the complex design and therefor the cost – both for building and operation.

I found that gasifier was able to make good quality gas when switched from wood chips to these biomass pellets. However, two major problems I came across are TAR and Clinkers. Clinkers are primarily due to the temperature in the reactor bed which is exceeding probably ash fusion temperatures for the biomass pellets I used. I want to know from you the ways to control this reactor bed temperature inside gasifier, such that I can avoid clinker formation and also reduce the temperature Waiting for the guidance from experts.
