[Gasification] Characterization of waste water from biomass gasification equipment: A case-study from Cambodia

[Tom Miles]

Pete,

 

The percentage of hydrocarbons in the gas is usually pretty low. Water scrubbers strip the hydrocarbons and concentrate them in the scrubber water.

“Crop residues are best gasified at low temperatures. Low temperatures generate tars”

 

Does this mean that  a high percentage of the combustable gas is actually hydrocarbons, etc. released by heating the residue, rather than from the reduction of CO and decomposition of water?
