Abstract

There is a growing interest in the use of gasification to contribute to the energy share, as a more efficient alternative to fossil fuels combustion, especially with coal and biomass in large power plants. In order to unveil the effect of time in the degradation of the gasifier operation and the influence that operating conditions have over reactor performance, the evolution of controlled ...
