Typical Characteristics of a Fluidized Bed Gasifier Parameter Fluidized Bed Fuel size (inches) Fuel ash content (% weight) Operating temperature (°F) Control Turn-down ratio Construction material Capacity (MWthermal) (biomass tons/day) Start-up time Operator attention Tar content (lb/MMBtu product gas) Heating value (Btu/scf) HHV Source: GasNet, n.d. Efficiency 0-0.8 <25 1,350-1,750 Average 3 Heat-resistant steel 5 and up (> 30) Hours Average <2 150 Both fixed and fluidized bed biomass gasification uses similar types of equipment as direct combustion. The biomass fuel is fed into a combustion/reaction vessel with either a fixed, fluidized, or moving bed. The thermodynamics of heat loss are similar, but gasification conditions are different from direct combustion. In direct combustion, 10 to 14 times the weight of the fuel is introduced as air. In gasification, the air entering the reactor, if any, is only one to two times the weight of the fuel. This difference reduces heat losses from the reaction zone. On the other hand, the syngas exits the gasification reactor at very high temperatures (1,200 to 1,500° F); some of this heat loss can be recovered either directly through the use of heat exchangers in the gas cooling section, or indirectly through the use of heat recovery from the combustion of the syngas in the power generation section. To the extent that heat is used to preheat incoming air, introduce high-temperature steam, or dry the incoming biomass, the efficiency of biomass to syngas conversion will be increased. Heat that is recovered from the hot gas cooling section can also be added to the CHP heat recovery. In this case, the intermediate efficiency value of syngas conversion is not increased but the overall CHP efficiency is. These differences combine to produce biomass to syngas efficiencies (heating value of the syngas divided by the heating value of the biomass) of 60 to 80 percent. In integrated configurations, however, additional steam can be generated from cooling the hot syngas exiting the reactor prior to cleanup. Operating Availability Due to the fact that commercialization of biomass gasification plants is in its early stages, no facility survey information was found on their availability or reliability. Plants are designed for continuous operation, and design performance is in the 90+ percent range. Actual experience with emerging technology tends to result in lower availability than is experienced during broad commercial use, as materials handling problems, control issues, and component failures cause more frequent unplanned outages than are seen after accumulating additional operating experience. With a newly established support infrastructure, outages also tend to last longer before being fixed or solved. A well 5. Biomass Conversion Technologies 50
