Executive Summary
The following document gives an overview of existing European gasification technologies and main gasification processes.
The structure following the introduction section about biomass conversion processes follows the biogas processing logic: from various gasifier technologies to feedstock specifics, storage, and necessary pre-treatment. Special chapters on important elements of any biogas plant are elaborated in detail (e.g. on measurement, control and regulation technologies).
Due to the amount of existing information available on this topic it may occur that not everything is included or considered extensively. We propose this deliverable as a solid starting point getting to know about gasification. This doesn ́t replace special training courses and at least professional planning. In order to incorporate more relevant technologies and gasification applications, some additional sections relevant for gasification are already outlined in the document Overview and Categorization of European Biogas Technologies focusing on Anaerobic Digestion.
The detailed descriptions of certain technologies are not implying any preference to a technology, service provider or device. Similarly, pictures including company names shall not be seen as a preference to any specific company or technology. It is done for visualization purposes only.
