Syngas: Difference between revisions

Syngas is an abbreviation for synthesis gas, which is a mixture of gases (combustible constituents include carbon monoxide, hydrogen, methane and a broad range of other VOCs)<ref name="foo">Biofuel, 2010. [http://biofuel.org.uk/what-is-syngas.html What is Syngas - BioFuel Information. Biofuel.org.uk.]  [online] [Accessed 1 Nov. 2019]</ref>. The syngas typically has a [[Net Calorific Value]] (NCV) of between 10 and 20MJ/Nm3.  

The Syngas is produced by [[Gasification]] or [[Pyrolysis]] of a carbon containing fuel (such as waste streams) to a gaseous product that has heating value. The characteristics of a syngas greatly depends on the composition of the original [[feedstock]] used to produce it, and the process by which it is generated. The Syngas, once produced, can be burnt to release energy; when waste undergoes [[Gasification]] and [[Pyrolysis]] processes this is utilised to generate electricity, often by implementing a steam boiler and turbine<ref name="foo"/>. This is the process [[Advanced Conversion Technology | Advanced Conversion Technologies]] adopt, where the syngas produced is combusted as an [[Advanced Fuel]].
