Abstract(s)
This work presents an energy and exergy analysis of co-gasification
tests of crude glycerol and animal fat mixtures, in order to obtain first and
second law efficiencies, the last ones representing a novelty in the field of
gasification technology. Mixtures with 5% (w/w) of dry animal fat, 57% (w/w)
of dry treated crude glycerol and 38% (w/w) of water were studied in a fixed
bed down flow gasification reactor at 800°C and 900°C. The increase of
gasification temperature seems not to affect the energy and exergy yields of the
overall process.
