Experimental Analysis for Improving the Energy Efficiency of Biomedical waste Co-Feeding in the Steam Gasification

Summary

Researchers co-gasified biomedical plastic waste (glucose bottles, syringes) with palm kernel shell in a fluidized bed gasifier using olivine as catalyst, examining how varying biomedical waste ratios from 25% to 100% affected gas yield, tar composition, and carbon conversion efficiency to optimize energy recovery from medical waste.

The steam gasification of pure Biomedical waste (glucose plastic bottle, syringe) and Indian palm kernel shell is gasified in fluidized bed gasifier and the result is compared with the different mixture of PKS and BMW co-feeding(100%pks,25%bmw,50%bmw, and 100%bmw) using olivine as the primary catalyst. The influences of co-feeding of BMW with PKS on the gas yield, char yield, tar yield, carbon conversion efficiency, tar composition, and gas composition are investigated.
