Entrained Flow Gasification

Basics

• A device for Gasification that uses a spray of fuel (powder, or Slurry Fuels , and oxidizer (air or pure oxygen, the latter is more common) in a sealed heated chamber
• Typically high temprature and pressure
• Thus faster reaction times, and produces Clinkers / Slag instead of Ash
• Still need to see how it compares to Fluidized Bed Gasification
• The most common method for coal gassification
• Not as much research in application to Biomass or RDF
  • Need to look for more
