Experimental plasma setup for gasification of organic waste with their discrete supply into gasifier

Abstract

The paper describes the design of an experimental setup for plasma gasification of organic waste with its discrete supply to the loading unit. The experimental results of determining the percentage composition of synthesis gas and its calorific value depending on time for gasification of wood sawdust and polyethylene granules are presented. The amount of methane in synthesis gas composition has been calculated depending on temperature and oxygen flow rate. It is shown that when the waste is fed in separate portions, the synthesis gas composition, its yield and calorific value change over time significantly.
