EFFECT OF OPERATING PARAMETERS ON SCW GASIFICATION

The product of gasification is defined by its yield and composition, which are influenced by a number of gasifier design and operating parameters. For proper design and operation of an SCW gasifier, a good understanding of the influence of the following parameters is important:

• Reactor temperature

• Catalyst use

• Residence time in the reactor

• Solid concentration in the feed

• Heating rate

• Feed particle size

• Reactor pressure

• Reactor type
