Gasification Process

Gasification of biomass can be used to produce fuel gas that could potentially be used as a powersource for the sustainable development. The main aim of this study is to determine the effect of lignin,cellulose, proximate and ultimate of ramie wood chip biomass and shell coffee to produce gas and thepotential for regional electricity generated. Research carried out by the analysis of lignin and cellulose,proximate and ultimate, calorific value, gasification, composition gases and energy potential. From theresearch results, the waste of coffee shells and ramie wood chips were used as a new energy source toproduce syngas by means of the gasification process. The highest lignin content was for 45.10% coffeeshell and the lowest for flax wood chips was 18.26. Meanwhile, the highest cellulose content was hempwood chips 44.82% and the lowest was coffee skin shell 17.93%. The potential energy produced fromgasified gas provides a correlation with levels of lignin and cellulose. The higher the lignin content andthe greater the cellulose content, the higher energy that occurs in the coffee shell shells of 5.78 kW, andvice versa what happens to hemp wood chips with low lignin levels and high cellulose content providesa potential energy of 4. 64 kW

Sugarcane Industry

This study evaluates the co-gasification of the main residues of the sugarcane industry (vinasse, bagasse and straw), in order to recover their energy and give an appropriate destination, making them suitable for use as fuel gas (syngas). To verify the feasibility of energy conversion through gasification, thermodynamic equilibrium model for gasification process was carried out and verified by literature available data. The gasification parameters for different gasification agents and equivalence ratio values were then obtained, such as: syngas composition and energy content, operating temperature, production rate and conversion efficiency. For equivalence ratios (ER) between 0.35 and 0.4 and temperatures around 750 °C, the quality of the syngas obtained is better, but a higher energy content is obtained in ER values of 0.2. There is a high H2/CO ratio for the gasifying agent formed by air and steam, and when using oxygen-enriched air, there is a change in the ER value that generates better syngas quality (to 0.3–0.35) and an increase in its energy content. There is also a possible better return on investment in a thermoelectric plant for the lowest ER values, which can increase gains by up to 21.4% and decrease the installation’s payback. The results indicate that the co-gasification of the waste is feasible, allowing a better use of its energy potential.

Biomass Residues

Kinetic analysis for the combustion of three agro-industrial biomass residues (coconut husk, corn husk, and rice husk) was carried out in order to provide information for the generation of energy from them. The analysis was performed using the results of the data obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at three heating rates (10, 20, and 30 K/min). The biomass residues were characterized in terms of proximate analysis, elemental analysis, calorific value, lignin content, α-cellulose content, hemicellulose content, and holocellulose content. The biomass fuels were thermally degraded in an oxidative atmosphere. The results showed that the biomass thermal degradation process is comprised of the combustion of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. The kinetic parameters of the distributed activation energy model indicated that the activation energy distribution for the pseudocomponents follows lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose in descending order. The activation energy values for each set of reactions are similar between the heating rates, which suggests that it is independent of the heating rate between 10 K/min and 30 K/min. For all the biomass samples, the increased heating rate resulted in the overlap of the hemicellulose and cellulose degradation events.

In this work the amount of biomass available by the hazelnuts pruning in the province of Viterbo was investigated. At present, the pruning’s residues are destroyed by farmers directly in the field, at the end of the pruning; in this way a large quantity of biomass, represented by hazelnut’s prunings, is lost; the residues obtained from the hazelnut’s pruning, are an important source of biomass that could be used for thermal energy production. The aim of this work is to realize a map with the estimated energy potential from hazelnut pruning biomass, in the province of Viterbo. In the first phase the amount of biomass obtained from a hectare of hazelnut’s cultivationwas estimated:sampling were carried out in some municipalities of Viterbo while hazelnut pruning was taking place, from January to March.In the field, biomass was weighed and some pieces of wood were collected for laboratory analysis; in particular humidity of biomass, low calorific value, ashand the content of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and nitrogen (N) were determined. In the calculation of the biomass were considered the age of the plants and the number of plants per hectare. The results show that the amount of biomass obtained from pruning of hazelnuts varies with the age of plants, but even more so by the number of plants per hectare. The average value of biomass obtained from pruning of a hectare of land is just under 0,9 t. Knowing the net calorific value of the hazelnut wood and the number of hectares cultivated for each municipality, a map of thermal potential energy has been realized.

This research focuses on the removal of contaminants from wastewaters as a matter of great interest in the field of water pollution. The first decades of the 21st century have brought numerous approaches for the development of cheaper and more effective adsorbents capable of eliminating heavy metals. The study aims to examine the way coffee pulp (Castilla variety from Caldas, Colombia) was used as a bioadsorbent for the removal of Mn (II) from synthetic wastewater to fulfill goals 3 and 6 proposed in the Sustainable Development Goals stated for the 2030 Agenda, particularly in Sections 3.9 and 6.9. In order to achieve this objective, the agricultural residue was subjected to bromatological characterization, determination of the lignocellulosic composition, and identification of characteristic organic functional groups through IR spectrophotometry, using the ATR (attenuated total reflection) technique. Additionally, the optimal parameters for contaminant removal were identified, regarding the biomass quantity, the optimum pH, the stirring time, the adsorption kinetics, the zero charge potential (pHpzc), the adsorption isotherms, and the explanation of the possible adsorption mechanisms between the contaminant, the surface of the coffee pulp, and the capacity of maximum adsorption. The results show that lignocellulosic material presented a cellulose content of 29.93 ± 0.21% and a lignin content of 19.25 ± 0.16%. The optimum parameters found were as follows: Particle size of 180 µm, contact time from 90 min to 100 RPM, optimum pH of 4.0 pH units, room temperature; the kinetic model adjusted to the bioadsorption process was Ho and McKay’s pseudo-second-order, under an isotherm of the Langmuir model, for which the removal presented was 53.40%, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 8.01 mg·g−1. Finally, the novelty of the reported research consists of using coffee pulp as a bioadsorbent without chemical modification, for the removal of heavy metals, in this case Mn (II), in industrial wastewater, which would be another application of this coffee by-product.

The Impact

To develop recommendations for improving the efficiency of the use of resource potential of organic waste, studies were carried out on the process of their thermal treatment using the example of plant manufactured by company Wellons type 2D6C8.AO. The plant is operated at one of the enterprises of the pulp and paper industry and is designed to generate process steam both by burning primary gas fuel and by using as a fuel mixture different types of organic waste (bark and wood waste, wood chips and sewage sludge). Based on the results obtained, the criteria for estimate the quality of fuel mixture: ash content (not more than 5 %), humidity (not more than 58 %), calorific value (not less than 4000 J/g), homogeneity of the component and fractional composition of the fuel mix (grain size not more than 25–50 mm) were worked out. Taking into account the developed criteria, the optimum composition of fuel mixture was determined (bark and wood waste 70–80 %, pulp and paper sludge 20–30 %, wood chips 4 %). As the main measures to reduce and stabilize the humidity of the fuel used for combustion, the introduction of dry debarking of wood, preliminary mechanical dewatering of the pulp and paper sludge, additional dosing in the main waste stream of waste formed in auxiliary industries (wooden pallets, boxes, paper scrap, etc.) is recommended. The introduction of the developed measures will prevent the disposal of waste in the environment and minimize the impact of the landfills on the geosystems.

The daily waste tonnage at Piyungan landfill is 600 tons consisting of organic and combustible waste which can be used as an energy source. The aim of this study is to determine the potential energy of waste in the Piyungan landfill by its characteristics based on technology options including landfill gas, anaerobic digestion, gasification, and incineration. The Piyungan landfill mostly contain organic waste, up to 62.1% and combustible waste (RDF) at 26.8%. Moisture content of Piyungan’s RDF is higher than international standards for RDF as raw material in several countries. The various result for Nett Calorific Value is about 7.27 MJ/kg for fresh waste, 12.78 MJ/kg for RDF, 1.74 MJ/kg for market waste and 4.14 MJ/kg for mining waste. Landfill gas can generate energy up to 1.2 MW at the beginning and reaches 2 MW during peak periods. The potential energy by using anaerobic digestion and gasification technology are 1.54 MW and 3.12 MW. By incinerate fresh waste, the potential energy can be generated up to 9 MW and 4.39 MW when incinerate RDF waste only. Calculation of potential energy can be used as a basis for selecting the right technology, especially for economic feasibility for each technology.

Fuel Moisture Content

In this study, the moisture content, calorific value, and particle size of recycled wood chips were measured. The wood chips were used to fuel an 8.5 MWth updraft gasifier to produce syngas for combustion in a steam-producing boiler. In-situ syngas composition and tar concentrations were measured and analyzed against biomass fuel properties. No efforts were made to adjust the properties of biomass or the routine operating conditions for the gasifier. A sampling device developed by CanmetENERGY-Ottawa (Ottawa, ON, Canada) was used to obtain syngas and tar samples. Wood chip samples fed to the gasifier were taken at the same time the gas was sampled. Results indicate that as the fuel moisture content increases from 20% to 35%, the production of CO drops along with a slight decrease in concentrations of H2 and CH4. Tar concentration increased slightly with increased moisture content and proportion of small fuel particles (3.15–6.3 mm). Based on the findings of this study, biomass fuel moisture content of 20% and particles larger than 6.3 mm (1/4″) are recommended for the industrial updraft gasifier in order to achieve a higher syngas quality and a lower tar concentration.

Moisture Content Measurement

Wood chips and logging residues currently comprise the largest share of biomass fuels used for heat generation in district heating plants and are provided by a variety of suppliers. Ash and moisture contents, as well as the calorific value, may vary considerably depending on the composition of the fuel, seasonality, location, and other factors. This paper provides the summarized results of the main characteristics of wood chip moisture and ash content and calorific value, experimentally tested for a significant range of samples. Chip samples were collected from two district heating companies and tested for a significant range of samples. Chip samples were collected from two district heating companies and tested for a 3-year period. The data on fuel chip prices were taken from the electronic wood chip trading platform. The tests were performed using standard express methods, where two sub-samples were taken and analyzed from every chip sample. It was determined that the moisture content of the wood chips varied from 35% to 45%, the calorific value from 18.4 to 19.6 MJ/kg, and the ash content from 0.5% to 4.5%. The calculated relative expanded uncertainty of the moisture content measurement was ±2.1%, of calorific value—±1.5%, and of ash—±1.0%. The repeatability of the results was estimated as the pooled standard deviation.
