Experimental research of oily sawdust air gasification

This article shows oily sawdust gasification research on countercurrent installation. Experimental research was on a laboratory scale. The main purpose of the experiment was combustible gas production with higher CH₄ concentration. Gas concentrations like CO, CO₂, CH₄, H₂, and C_nH_m determine syngas composition. The technological parameter’s value defines experimental conditions. Value of this was fuel to air ratio. With fuel to air ratio change, syngas composition was a differential phenomenon where it depended on the process parameters like temperature. Additionally, evaluation of methane formation from CO, H₂, and CO₂ was done. Methanization coefficients were based on CO and CO₂ hydrogenation reactions. Component’s activity was in analogs way to syngas components changed.
