Synthesis oflntegrated Biomass Thermal Processing For Fuel Production

The objective of this project is to study and identity the feasibility of integrating of
thermal processing of biomass for the production of bio-fuel. Three thermal processing
of biomass are combustion, gasification and pyrolysis. The project concerned on how to
integrate the gasification and pyrolyiss of biomass. Gasification of biomass will produce
fuel and a mixture of gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (C02),
hydrogen (Hz) and methane (C~). GasifYing agents are used in order to complete the
reaction. There are about 70% to 80% of gases reportedly produced from the process. In
the other hand, pyrolysis reaction occurs without the use of oxygen in the process. The
reaction produces about 65% to 75% of liquid, 15% to 20% of char and 10% to 15%
of gases.
