The temperature in gasifier depends on a number of factors. One of the most 
important is the lambda value. Some of the Others are the water and ash content.

The reactivity of the fuel (particle size) should be adjusted to the reactor 
principle and should largely be independent of the density of the fuel – but 
can to a certain extent be influenced by the porosity.

The ratio between char and volatiles does have an influence on operation on a 
few very advanced staged gasification principles but for most gasifiers one can 
not adjust lambda different in the different reaction zones.

Emne: Re: [Gasification] Difference between Coal and biomass gasification

Dear Thomas Koch and ALL:

Thomas asks a very interesting question.  Best answer would be for someone 
(me?) to get a batch of coal and try it.

First, I would expect that it m i g h t  burn up the gasifier.  Coal burns so 
much hotter than wood.  But I hope the stainless steel can stand it.

Secondly it would burn twice as long due to the high density of the coal and 
the high volatile content which could keep it from burning up.

I hope someone will try it and give a report.  I'm on the road, but will try it 
when I get home if no one else does...

Hi Saiteja

That depends very much on which principle of gasifier you are using.

If you use an entrained flow gasifier the only real difference is the 
pretreatment equipment.

Best regards

Hi,

I want to know what would be major design variations while designing for 
gasifiers which are coal fed from that of biomass.

Thanks
