Emission test results of BTL(30%)+Diesel fuel(70%):
Summary
1. Syngas composition and H2/CO ratio are suitable for F-T process and the
performance of DFB biomass gasifier was verified with the long-term
operation test over 500 hours.
2. In DFB system, tar reduction and increase of steam conversion rate are
the key technologies for increasing gasification efficiency.
3. As an alternative fuel, BTL diesel is almost sulfur free and has low
aromatic content and high Cetane number.
4. For low temperature characteristics, density and lubrication are the main
issues.
5. It was found that the mixture of BTL and conventional diesel reduces
engine emissions.
