Biomass Gasification, Pyrolysis and Torrefaction, Third Edition is enhanced with a new topic on processing and cleaning of product gas of gasification and brief introduction to biomaterials making it a versatile resource that not only explains the basic principles of energy conversion systems, but also provides valuable insight into the design of a complete biomass conversion systems. With a dedicated focus on the design, analysis, and operational aspects of biomass gasification, pyrolysis, and torrefaction, this edition of the book offers comprehensive coverage of biomass in its gas, liquid, or solid states in a single easy-to-access source. The author provides many worked out design problems, step-by-step design procedures and real data on commercially operating systems. Although the book carries the name 'biomass', the bulk of its content is also applicable to non-biomass fuels like, coal, petcoke, municipal solid waste and others. This book will allow professionals, such as engineers, scientists, and operating personnel of biomass gasification, pyrolysis or torrefaction plants, to gain a better comprehension of the basics of biomass conversion. This new edition is updated with the most recent research and technology, and expanded to include a new chapter on syngas purificationContains step-by-step process flow diagrams, design data and conversion charts, and numerical examples with solutionsProvides available research results in an easy-to-use design methodologyExamines the economic aspects of biomass conversion INDICE: 1.
