Increasing Yield from Gasification

This looks like a "rob Peter to pay Paul" process where nothing is actually gained. The use of hydrogen to reduce carbon-dioxide makes water and carbon-monoxide but what is gained in doing that? A much better process can be developed making liquid hydrocarbons from the raw materials like old tires and other waste without making CO and H2O.

Introduce O2 in this mix and the temp at the heat exchanger increases 4-5 times reducing ash and creosote too. What's not to like

What's not to like is nothing is gained. You spend more and more and get less and less by doing stupid things that look good but are anything but.

Eh? Better to let it go up the stack and stick with 600 degrees

What needs to be done is a redesign-a new process not requiring oxygen at all. We don't need to pollute the atmosphere to have abundant liquid fuel supplies. We need better engineering than the nineteenth century stuff you guys are using now.

Fischer Tropsch isn't exactly 19th century

it takes energy to reconfigure compounds into liquid fuels

if you have something better

let's hear it...

FT is exactly the right process for the nineteenth century like many processes we now use. It is the same kind of logic that caused the Romans to fail-stuck in a rut not knowing how to use the stuff they and we have in abundance. Making liquid fuel does not have to be done with oxygen-in fact oxygen hinders the transformation. We have several systems in operation that make liquid and gas and they all work poorly even though our engineers have worked their hearts out to do the best they can. Fix the problem by looking at the basic reactions that lead to liquid fuel. they need hydrogen and carbon-not oxygen. Oxygen has to be removed for a effective process to proceed-O2 is poison. Now, after doing the math we can proceed with design work.

Yes, I am working on both Biomass Gasification & Coal Gasification because we are running out of gas and in winter 4 months gas shutdown so Industries have to operate on Furnace Oil. One gasifier can provide enough gas for 4.5 MW gas engines or to operate a 15 Tph steam Boiler.
