[Gasification] a need for help

[Judex Johannes]

Hey Elisabeth,

Refering to your last paragraph I just wanted to post some urls where 
you will be able to extract quite some data for proximate and ultimate 
analysis for a number of fuels.

http://www.ecn.nl/phyllis/info.asp
http://www1.eere.energy.gov/biomass/feedstock_databases.html
http://www.vt.tuwien.ac.at/biobib/oxford.html
http://www.det.csiro.au/science/energyresources/biomass.htm
http://www.ieabcc.nl/database/biobank.html
http://fnr-server.de/cms35/fileadmin/biz/pdf/leitfaden/datensammlung/

These are all free online databases where various fuels are included.


best regards,

Betreff: [Gasification] a need for help

Dear Friends at Gasification List,

 

I have been interested in gasification since 1990.   My interest and work
experience has been focused around gasification of waste, mainly biomass waste.  

 

Currently I am working on a project, feasibility study, for a bio-refinery in one county in Alberta, Canada.  

 

A bio-refinery will include biogas digester for all kitchen waste, food waste, and garden waste; canola crusher/biodiesel plant, ethanol fermenter and of course a gasifier.  

 

I would like to use a mix of 40% secondary paper fibre, 30% of plastics and the rest 30% of hog fuel, saw dust, etc.  Altogether we have now approximately 7,290 metric tons of mixed waste, it is going to be source separated; it represents now 52% of paper fibre, 27% of wood and about 21%
plastics.   We may want to add more wood waste, to create a composition we
want.  

 

I was inquiring from a gasification company in British Columbia, Canada
(Nexterra) about capital and operating costs for a gasifier of this size and a value of producer gas.  They kindly asked me to provide proximate and ultimate analysis of the mix, ash analysis and of course bone dry energy content.  I do not know where to get this information.  Also, anyone who would direct me to a another gasification process that has a proven expertise of handling this kind of mix?

 

Best Regards,
