Reconstruction of Research Gasification Technology at the Energy Research Center

Abstract

Gasification technology was one of the first large projects of the Energy Research Center at the VSB - Technical University of Ostrava. The beginnings of the technology date back to 2006, when construction of the first version of the gasification plant with an autothermal generator was started. During these years of operation, a lot of testing was conducted on the technology to test different types of fuel (pellets from rice husks, pellets from miscanthus, straw pellets, RDF and many other types of fuels) and various modifications to the technology (testing of two cyclones, dolomite reactor testing, scrubber testing). Subsequently reconstructed gasification technology held tests by RDF fuel, wood pellet and mixtures of these fuels. The tests of the fuel was conducted at three temperatures (750, 850, 950 ° C).
