Waste Wood Gasification: Distribution of Nitrogen, Sulphur and Chlorine in a Dual Fluidised Bed Steam Gasifier

Waste wood was gasified in a dual fluidised bed gasifier in order to investigate the behaviour of waste fuels in this technology. The distribution of nitrogen, sulphur and chlorine between the gasifier and combustor of the dual bed system was studied to identify the requirements for gas cleaning devices. The gasification system is suitable for the use of waste wood. A slight adaption of the gas cleaning equipment was necessary compared to gasification of natural woody biomass
