An Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Gasification of Miscanthus Briquettes in a Double-Stage Downdraft Gasifier: Syngas, Tar, and Biochar Characterization

An Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Gasification of Miscanthus Briquettes in a Double-Stage Downdraft Gasifier: Syngas, Tar, and Biochar Characterization

The goal of this work is to understand the gasification process for Miscanthus briquettes in a double-stage downdraft gasifier, and the impact of different Equivalence Ratios (ER) on syngas, biochar, and tar characteristics. The optimal ER was found to be 0.35, which yielded a syngas maximum heating...
