How Biomass Gasification Power Systems Work

Our biomass gasification power systems efficiently convert low-calorific solid biomass resources—such as agricultural and forestry waste and municipal organic waste—into combustible gas via an advanced gasification process. This gas subsequently fuels power generation units. The CFBG gasification power system serves as a prime example.

Feedstock Handling and Conveying: Biomass feedstock (e.g., rice husk, wood chips) is stored in a designated area. After pre-processing (crushing and drying to moisture content ≤20%), it is conveyed to the gasifier via a suction blower. Feedstock size is typically required to be ≤8–15mm to ensure high gasification reaction efficiency.

Gasification Reaction: Inside the biomass gasifier (CFBG type), biomass reacts with a medium (air or steam) at high temperatures, producing a combustible gas (commonly known as "syngas") primarily composed of CO, H₂, and CH₄. The circulating fluidized bed technology ensures uniform reactions and high thermal efficiency.

Gas Cleaning and Cooling: The hot raw syngas passes through a series of equipment—including a cyclone separator, Venturi scrubber, rotary liquid separator, and electrostatic tar precipitator—to remove impurities like dust and tar. It is then cooled via an intercooler or shell and tube heat exchanger, allowing for the separation and collection of condensate water and tar, which can be further recycled.

Gas Conveying and Power Generation: The purified syngas is pressurized by a Roots blower and delivered to a generator set (such as a gas internal combustion engine or gas turbine), which drives a generator to produce electricity. This power can be fed into the local grid, while waste heat can be utilized for district heating or industrial processes.

By-product Management: Biochar produced during gasification can be recovered as fertilizer; collected tar and condensate water can be treated or used for other industrial purposes; exhaust gases are discharged compliantly through the stack.

Three-Stage Gasification Process Explained

The first stage is biomass gasification, converting biomass into syngas.

The second stage is syngas purification. Gas produced from the gasifier typically contains contaminants like dust, char, and tar. The purification system removes these pollutants to ensure the normal operation of the gas engine.

The third stage is gas engine power generation. High-temperature exhaust gases can be used by a waste heat boiler to generate steam for civil or industrial use, or produce hot water. Alternatively, employing a steam turbine to create a gas-steam combined cycle power plant can be considered, thereby increasing overall system efficiency.
