Combustion characteristics of low-BTU gases (about 1000kcal/Nm3) were experimentally investigated in order to develop engine generators for waste gasification and power generation systems. Two simulated low-BTU gases, obtained from one-step high temperature gasification (hydrogen rich) and...

A scientific methodology in general should provide two things: first, a means of explanation and, second, a mechanism for improving that explanation. Agent-based modelling ( ABM) is a method that facilitates exploring the collective effects of individual action selection. The explanatory force...

An effective pyrogas cleaning system is necessary for downstream application of biomass pyrolysis technology for power generation. Particularly, tar must be lowered to a satisfying level in order to avoid the problem of tar blockage for preventing damage to the engine and to prolong the engine...

A small-scale gasification system for solid wastes has been developed and tested. In this innovative system, known as the STAR-MEET system, a fixed-bed pyrolyzer combined with a high temperature steam/air reformer is employed. From the experimental results using wood chips and polyolefin sheets...

MEET (Multi-staged Enthalpy Extraction Technology) system is a new coal/wastes-fired power generation system. In order to establish the MEET system technology, a demonstration plant of commercial scale, MEET-II, was installed. The capacity of the MEET-II is 2 t/day of coal of 4 t/day of RDF....

The mesoscopic description of a system with chemical reactions predicts that if the detailed balance condition is not satisfied, then nonequilibrium spatial correlations between concentrations of reactants may appear. The present work is concerned with molecular dynamics simulations of such...
