✦ Synopsis
Gasification of biomass at 600-800°C can produce an effluent gas for use in a combustor for power production after removal of the solid products of gasification by hot gas cleanup (e.g., aspen wood). This will avoid the fouling and/or corrosion often found in biomass combustion. Biomasses which form liquids below 800°C (e.g., wheat straw) require the use of additives which raise the lowest temperatures for the presence of inorganic liquids to over 800°C. This alternative path for avoiding the fouling and corrosion found during combustion of many biomasses probably can be applied to a broad range of analogous materials.
