Airflow and insulation effects on simultaneous syngas and biochar production in a top-lit updraft biomass gasifier
James Rivas, Arthur; Yuan, Wenqiao; Wang, Donghai; Boyette, Michael D. (2017-10-11)The objective of this study was to understand the effect of airflow and insulation on syngas and biochar generations of rice hulls and woodchips in a top-lit updraft gasifier. Biochar yield decreased with increasing airflow. ... -
Characterization of Biochar from Rice Hulls and Wood Chips Produced in a Top-Lit Updraft Biomass Gasifier
James Rivas, Arthur; Yuan, Wenqiao; Boyette, Michael D.; Wang, Donghai; Kumar, Ajay (2016-01-01)The objective of this study was to characterize biochar produced from rice hulls and wood chips in a top-lit updraft gasifier. Biochar from four airflows (8, 12, 16, or 20 L min-1) and two insulation conditions (not insulated ... -
The Effect of Biomass Physical Properties on Top-Lit Updraft Gasification of Woodchips
James Rivas, Arthur; Yuan, Wenqiao; Boyette 2, Michael D. (2016-04-12)The performance of a top-lit updraft gasifier affected by biomass (pine wood) particle size, moisture content and compactness was studied in terms of the biochar yield, biomass burning rate, syngas composition and tar ... -
The Effect of Gasification Conditions on the Surface Properties of Biochar Produced in a Top-Lit Updraft Gasifier
James Rivas, Arthur; Yuan, Wenqiao; Wang, Duo; Wang, Donghai; Kumar, Ajay (2020-01-19)The effect of airflow rate, biomass moisture content, particle size, and compactness on the surface properties of biochar produced in a top-lit updraft gasifier was investigated. Pine woodchips were studied as the feedstock. ...
