Description

The effect of equivalence ratio on gasification of poultry litter, blend of poultry litter with beech wood and beech
wood alone, was experimentally studied in a lab-scale fluidised bed reactor. Lower calorific value decreased with
equivalence ratio whereas carbon conversion efficiency revealed the opposite trend. Beech wood showed both
the highest lower calorific value and carbon conversion efficiency, 4.96 MJ/m3 and 91.6% respectively.
