    The document discusses a project focused on removing tar from low-temperature biomass gasification processes below 800°C. These low-temperature processes have advantages like suitability for fuels with low ash melting points and higher cold gas efficiency. However, their main disadvantage is relatively high tar levels, which prevents connection to engines and turbines. The project tests two tar removal technologies - OLGA developed by Dutch partners and cooling/filtration/partial oxidation developed by Danish partners - to determine if they can enable low-temperature gasification for these applications. Preliminary results found OLGA can remove tars to low enough levels for a gas engine, and bag house filters or evaporative coolers can be used for dust removal depending on temperature.

    Abstract from the report


    Biomass is considered an important source of renewable energy needed to realise national and
    European renewable energy goals and goals for CO2 reduction. Biomass gasification as a technology
    is recognized generally as highly desirable because of its high efficiency towards all kind of energy
    products. Biomass can be gasified using many different technologies ranging from high-temperature
    processes as high as 1500C to low-temperature processes as low as 500C. The project tar removal
    from low-temperature gasifiers focuses at gasification processes below 800C. These so-called low-
    temperature biomass gasification processes have certain advantages, i.e. they are suitable for fuels
    with low ash melting points, have a high cold gas efficiency and low tar dew point, require easier gas
    cooling and cleaning, provide longer residence times, and are associated with less heat transfer
    limitations within gasifier compared to gasifiers operated at 800 to 900C.

    For some applications the main disadvantage of low-temperature gasification is the relatively high tar
    level in the gas. This is why these processes generally are not considered being suitable for
    connection to gas engines, gas turbines, fuel cells or catalytic synthesis reactors. All the advantages
    mentioned above however, urge researchers to develop gas cleaning systems that can extend the
    application of low-temperature gasifiers from simple co-firing to also the mentioned applications. Being
    able to handle tars in the 700-800C interval would be very attractive. This temperature is high enough
    to have limited tar yield and low enough to have an acceptable tar dew point.

    In the project, two gas cleaning technologies are adapted and tested in connection to low-temperature
    gasification, i.e. (i) the OLGA tar removal technology developed by the Dutch partners in the project
    and (ii) the cooling, filtration and partial oxidation developed by the Danish partners in the project. The
    project aims at judging technical and economical suitability of these up-scalable tar removal methods
    connected to high-efficiency low-temperature gasification. Suitability opens the way to high efficient
    and high fuel flexible biomass gasification systems for the connection to gas engines, gas turbines,
    fuel cells or catalytic synthesis gas reactors.

    It is concluded that lowering the gasification temperature will require some modifications of the OLGA
    technology, though it is expected OLGA can remove also tars from the product gas of a gasifier
    operated at temperatures below 650C to low enough levels that a gas engine should run, based on
    tars. For dust removal, bag house filters are suitable when operated above the tar dew point of the
    gas. If this would require too high temperatures technically or economically feasible for filters, the
    OLGA could be applied in which dust can be removed at a temperature below the original tar dew
    point of the gas. The cooling of gasification is a challenge as long as dust and tars result in fouling in
    shell and tube heat exchangers. To overcome such problems so called evaporative coolers can be
    used where the evaporative energy of water (or some other liquid) is used to cool the gas.
