1. Introduction
Remarkable amount of MSW contains materials such as paper, plastics,
textiles, wood etc., which can be efficiently be recycled for resource
recovery.
Solid refuse fuel(SRF) is an alternative fuel produced from the
combustibles in MSW

4. Conclusion
- The main components were H2, CO, CH4 and CO2.
-With increasing ER, CO, H2 and CH4 concentration tended to decrease whereas CO2
tended to increase.
- Highest syngas yield with highest LHV was obtained at ER 0.2
-With increasing ER CGE showed decreasing trend, Whereas carbon conversion showed
decreasing trend
-Highest CGE obtained at ER 0.2
- Depending on ER, concentration of NH3 ranged between 123-195 ppm and concentration
of H2S ranged between 8-26 ppm
-Both of the gaseous pollutants showed increasing trend with increasing ER.
-At ER 0.2 lowest amount of gaseous pollutants were emitted

I would like to discuss about ‘A study on gasification characteristics of fluff SRF in fixed and fluidized bed reactor’
This is my content.
Waste fed in the gasification reactor, through gasification reaction it produces syngas and also makes residues example slag and ash. Later we clean the syngas, that can be used for producing electricity and steam generation or making chemicals through chemical process. It can be converted into Ethanol, methanol in biochemical process.

It can be converted into Ethanol, methanol in biochemical process.
Purpose of research is to find out the Syngas characteristics of waste gasification; composition and trend. This research is primary research for power plant co-gasification.
Feedstock was made from household waste, as fluff type. In order to fed in the reactor, we conducted pretreatment, we packed in vinyl after milling under 10mm. Left 3 pictures are showing feedstock&apos;s and their condition.
Using this experiments SRF, Proximate analysis results moisture 16%, volatile 74%, Fixed-Carbon 3% and 6% ash. Most of raw materials compose Carbon, Oxygen and hydrogen. The higher heating value is 4000kcal/kg.

This slide shows schematic diagram. No. 1 is semi-batch type feeder and No.2 used windbox in fluidized bed. No.3 is reactor, No.4 and 5 for produced gas treatment are cyclone and wet scrubber. No.7 is microGC, installed No6. silica gel before the 7. All gaseous pass into No8 drygas meter.
This table is showing operating condition of gasification experiment. The temperature was 900 degrees Celsius, reactor type were fixed and bubbling fluidized bed. Equivalent ratio is 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and feeding rate 1g/min. Feedstock sized is under 10mm, and gasification agent was oxygen.
With Increasing ER, Syngas, HHV and Methane are showing decreasing trend. In case of carbon-dioxide, it is showing increasing trend with increasing ER. It appears this tendency is due to the input of the oxygen, with increased ER. Higher heating value of gas varied from 2200 to 2500 kcal/kg.
This figure shows Sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides of fixed and fluidized bed. with increasing ER, overall pollutants increased. The fixed bed reactor generated more pollutant than fluidized bed. As the residence time become longer, gasification reaction progressed further in fixed bed which generated more pollutants.
