“…On the other hand, in open literature it is possible to find several works on the innovative coupling between biomass gasification and fuel cells [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], whereas works on the coupling with traditional power generators, such as IC engines and gas turbines, are relatively scarce [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

This paper studies the use of biomass syngas, obtained from pyrolysis or gasification, in traditional energy-production systems, specifically internal combustion (IC) engines and combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants. The biomass conversion stage has been simulated by means of a gas–solid thermodynamic model. The IC and CCGT plant configurations were optimised to maximise heat and power production. Several types of biomass feedstock were studied to assess their potential for energy production and their effect on the environment. This system was also compared with the coupling between biomass gasification and fuel cells

This paper describes the current state of available gasification technology for utilizing producer gas for I.C engine application & different ways to optimize the performance. Producer gas is promising alternative fuel to meet energy demand in many countries which is defined as gas generation from solid waste through thermo chemical conversion route (also termed as gasification) can be used for fuelling a compression ignition (CI) engine in duel fuel mode or a spark ignition (SI) engine in the gas alone mode. This technology is also environmentally benign and holds large promise for the future. This paper summarizes the work conducted using biomass derived producer gas in reciprocating internal combustion engines. Survey in the field of producer gas based engines reveals modest research work have been carried out since the inception of biomass/ charcoal gasification systems. Producer gas contains a large fraction of inert (> 50%) and with laminar burning velocity being high (due to presence of H2), smooth operation at higher Compression ratio does not seem impossible. These aspects are very vital in establishing the fact that close to comparable power (with a lesser extent of de-rating 15-20%) with producer gas by operating in engine at higher compression ratio. This could be attributed to two reasons, namely non-availability of standard gasification system that could generate consistent quality producer gas and the other relating to misconceptions about producer gas (related to compression ratio limitation due to knock tendency and de-rating). The knock tendency can be expected to be better on account of large fraction of inert gas as compared to natural gas. However, there has not been any research on octane rating test conducted on producer gas fuel and moreover it is not clear if any established test procedure exists for producer gas like the methane number test for natural gas and biogas. De-rating could be due to reduction in the mixture energy density and the product-toreactant mole ratio. If one were to summarize earlier studies, it becomes evident that no systematic investigation has been attempted so far in identifying if limitation of knock exists with producer gas operation at compression ratio comparable with the diesel engine operation.

“…Se identificó también que el consumo especifico de energía se incrementó a medida que se reducía la carga del equipo, por lo cual se recomendó operar los equipos siempre cerca de su carga nominal; adicionalmente, se observó un consumo específico de energía mayor cuando se opera con sistema dual-fuel, lo cual puede obedecer al poder calorífico del gas y la velocidad de la llama (Uma et al, 2004;Parikh 1989;Sridhar et al, 2001). Finalmente, en operación dual respecto a la operación con solo diesel, se incrementó el CO, CO2 y CH4 y disminuyeron el NOx y PM (tabla 3).…”

Comportamiento de un motor diesel de 1.105 hp operado mediante el sistema dual-fuel con diesel -gas natural en campos petroleros ResumenSe describe el sistema dual-fuel para motores diesel, operando los motores de combustión interna, donde sustituyeron parte del combustible con gas natural u otro combustible gaseoso. El sistema permite un ahorro económico significativo por la diferencia de precio entre el diesel y el gas natural, la disponibilidad de gas en sitio y la disminución en la emisión de gases contaminantes de la atmósfera debido a las bondades que presenta el gas natural frente al diesel. Se presentan los resultados de las pruebas realizadas a motores, y se indica la manera de aprovechar la tecnología dual-fuel en la industria petrolera.Palabras clave: dual-fuel; motor diesel-gas natural; ahorro diesel; sustitución diesel por gas natural. AbstractThe dual-fuel system for diesel engines is described, which consists in substituting part of the fuel used by the internal combustion engine with natural gas or another gaseous fuel. This system allows significant savings in costs due to differences in the prices of diesel and natural gas, the on-site availability of gas, and the reduction in polluting gas emissions to the atmosphere attributable to the positive aspects of natural gas versus diesel fuel. The results of tests carried out on the dual-fuel engine are presented, and the best way to use this technology in the oil industry is indicated.
