Gasification of Empty Fruit Bunch with Carbon Dioxide In An Entrained Flow Gasifier for Syngas Production

The main objectives of this work are to study the gasification of EFB in an atmospheric entrained flow gasifier, using carbon dioxide (CO2) as its gasifying agent and to determine the optimum gasification operating conditions, which includes temperature and the oxidant to fuel (OTF) ratio. These wer...
