Novel fixed-bed gasification pilot plant with catalytic gas cleaning
In the late 1990s, VTT and Condens Oy developed a novel fixed-bed gasifier based on forced fuel flow and updraft gasification technology. Gas cracking takes place in the upper part of the reactor. The capacity of the process is most suitable for the range of 1 - 15 MW.
