Please note that due to symmetry, there are two equivalent routing configurations that yield maximum gas production.
Open image in new window Fig. 14 Routing configuration detected that yields maximum gas production.
The reforming characteristics and optimal operating conditions to achieve maximum synthesis gas yield were determined.
At the same point, the maximum total gas yield was 578.38 ml (STP /g of biomass and the tar content of 2.48 g/Nm3 was the lowest.
The maximum oil and gas yield was 40.4 482.6 kg/t TOC and 115 4,226 m3/TOCOC, respectively.
The potential of Pt/beta in catalyzing benzene hydrogenation naphthene isomerization cascaded reaction was demonstrated, showing the highest methyl-cyclopentane to cyclohexane product ratio comparable to the thermodynamic equilibrium value, the lowest cracking gas yield and a maximum octane barrel number.
It is also observed that rice husk, biomass with maximum oxygen content, yields lowest calorific value syngas and biomass with maximum carbon content, saw dust, contributes to highest gas yield under the same operating conditions.
For the gas, however, there is a significant amount of cases (79%) that yield a production relatively close (within 8%) to the maximum gas flow rate detected (15,178 Sm3/d).
As shown in Fig. 3, an increase in temperature from 400 °C to reactor's maximum temperature (440 °C), enhances endothermic reforming reaction of walnut shell in SCW and increases the total gas yield.
For T = 1000 K, SBR = 1 and ER = 0.25, maximum mole fraction of hydrogen (14.89 %) was obtained from rubber seed shell with a lower heating value and gas yield of 4.71 MJ/Nm3 and 1.18 Nm3/h, respectively.
