OTHER GAS CONTAMINANTS
Nitrogen and sulphur gases• Precursor to acid rain and photochemical smog • The low temperature and oxygen deficient favor NH3 which
act as NOx precursor. • Thermal NOx can be form simply from the addion of N2 or O2 (5-
15)%.
NOx control can be dome through fume recirculation and post combustion, and also trough the catalytic or thermal conversion of NH3 and NOx to N2 y H2O.

PARTICULATE (FLY ASH AND DUST PARTICLES)
Particulates are organic and inorganic fine dust particles entrained out of the gasifier by products and cause corrosion and clogging.
Pariculates can be removed by phisical process like:
Cyclones wet scrubbers
Allow recycling large particulates and bed
material to the gasifier. It is ineffective at
removing particles of sub-microns.
It can be operate close to gasifier temperature.
Bag filters or dry electrostatic filters
Removes fine particles.
Due to the importance or ther alkali content, certain components of biomass ashes are dense, sticky and reactive. Alkalis combine with chlorine to form
Alkali chlorides. AC induce corrosion.

Gasification combined cycle (CC) with heat recuperation by steam generation appears advantageous for electricity production.
Increse the efficient of the biomass process (15-25%)
Internal combustion engine combined cycle can realistically be considered for biomass based power generation.
INTRODUCTION GAS CONTAMINANTS AND GAS CLEANING
ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION THERMO-ECONOMIC OPTIMISATION
The gasification model was developed with air gasification data for a pilot circultation fluidised bed reactor operated at atmospheric pressure
1. Light gas species, total tar and char concentration were verified by mass balance reconciliation
2. The distribution of a subset of tar species was determined from the quantity and elemental composition of the total tars by non-stoichiometric equilibrium calculations
3. A complete stoichiometry was written for the reaction system, and fitted to the calculated product distribution by letting reaction equilibrium temperatures vary from the measured gasification temperature. A multivariate regression relates these parameters (representative of producer gas, tar and char distribution variations) to operating conditions and fuel compositions.
MODELLING
INTRODUCTION GAS CONTAMINANTS AND GAS CLEANING
ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION THERMO-ECONOMIC OPTIMISATION
The thermodynamic properties of biomass were obtained from atomic group contributions. Char was assumed to be solid graphite (C). The light gas species considered were {O2, H2O, H2, CO2, CO, CH4, N2, NH3} and C2H4 representing all remaining light hydrocarbon gases.
MODELLING
The stoichiometry was generated from the following master equation:
𝐶𝑛𝐻𝑚𝑂𝑝𝑁𝑞+(𝑛−𝑝 )𝐶𝑂2↔ (2𝑛−𝑝 )𝐶𝑂+(𝑚2 − 32𝑞)𝐻2+𝑞𝑁𝐻3
Four model tar compounds were kept for flowsheet calculations: fulfural, phenol, naphtalene and pyridine.

IMPACT OF DECISIÓN VARIABLES ON OPTIMIZATION RESULTS
• investment costs tend to be minimised with GT-CC• ER and SBR are not strongly correlated variables because they practically always
take constant values. • In respect to the different oxidants and in terms of optimal specific capital costs,
steam gasification still appears as the best option (with specific costs of 2130 €/kWe for GT-CC, and 2717 €/kWe for ICE-CC) followed by air (GT-CC: 2465 €/kWe; ICE-CC: 3110 €/kWe) and oxygen gasification (GT-CC: 2805 €/kWe; ICE-CC: 3324 €/kWe).

IMPACT OF DECISIÓN VARIABLES ON OPTIMIZATION RESULTS
•The ICE is costlier than the gas turbine, is also more efficient. •Oxygen plant, gasifier, and gas cleaning equipment costs vary essentially in function of the volumetric flow of gases.
•As a consequence, oxygen gasification, although penalised by the incremental cost of the ASU, is advantaged by the lower cost of the gasifier and gas cleaning equipment, which become higher for air gasification due to nitrogen gas and also for steam gasification due to the higher oxidant to biomass ratio

ELECTRICITY PRODUCTION THERMO-ECONOMIC OPTIMISATION
•Plant capacity of 20 MWth,wood was obtained and analysedto identify process operating conditions that minimise tar formation.•Under the current modelling assumptions, optimisation results indicate that the energy conversion efficiency is maximised using ICE-CC at operating conditions that also favour low tar concentrations.
•As for choosing among different oxidantssteam gasification would appear to have the best specificcapital costs (the optimal specific cost of GT-CC is 2.1€/We, while that of ICE-CC is 2.7 €/We), followed by air gasification (GT-CC: 2.5 €/We; ICE-CC: 3.1 €/We), and finally oxygen gasification (GT-CC: 2.8 €/We; ICE-CC: 3.3 €/We).
