Abstract:
Gasification of biomass to generate heat and power for decentralized purposes has become a very attractive technology over recent years. These gasification processes and systems have to handle with a very high organic-condensate load [1] in the producer gas. To cope with these high condensate loads and to clean up the producer gas of the high tar content the biodiesel scrubber [2] was developed. Beside the complex cleaning process of the producer gas with the biodiesel scrubber another important task is the emulsion separation [3] of the FAME and the water phase. To optimize the performance of this emulsion separation many boundary conditions have to be changed during a series of tests. These boundary conditions could be the temperature, flow rate, composition of FAME and water and the content of phenol and ammonia as emulsifiers [4]. This work gives an overview of the influencing parameters and their effects.
