Energy from Biomass: The Simplex Process for the Gasification of Coal and Forest Pulp

摘要

Simplex is a process which simultaneously turns coal and cellulosic materials such as municipal solid wastes, forest pulp and sewage sludge solids into gas. This report summarizes a series of tests performed to investigate the adaptation of the Simplex process to the gasification of forest pulp or wood wastes. A coal and forest pulp briquette formulation, needed for the gasification process, was developed as part of the project. The sample briquettes were successfully turned into gas.
