| Summary: | This project was focussed on drying and feeding timber-yard waste for a gasifier and the assessment of the feedstock drying on the gasifier performance. This required a thermodynamic model to be developed in order to assess the effect of drying as was highlighted in the literature survey. A heat exchanger model was also developed which formed the basis for the design of the drier. The project aim was to develop a reliable feed process for a lab-scale gasifier that was able to dry the proposed feedstock to below 10%. The plant was to be as far as possible, automated, with minimal maintenance requirements. |
