Role of each contractor in the project 1-ULUND
Coordinator Management research of downstream
processing, particle phase characterisation for
performance measurement of cleaning, catalytic
system, demonstration 2-TUM Development of
sophisticated techniques (Laser diagnostics,
Optical) for characterisation of tar alkali in
gasifier 3-TUD On-line tar measurements and
gasification with different biomass supply by
Lantmännen, the gasifier was also used for field
test of reforming catalyst (gas supply to the
reactor system), and calibrating of the developed
methodology for high temperature fine particle in
produced gas (gas supply) 4-PA Filter system
that responds to the requirement of clean gas for
downstream processing in GREENSYNGAS,
multi-cyclone and sintered metal

Schematic energy conversion in a biomass to added
value products (Thermochemical Conversion)
Product gas from gasification process consists of
CO, CO2, H2, H2O, unburned hydrocarbons, tar,
sot, char, inorganic, and generally org The aim
will be increasing utilization of LHV of
feedstock to added value products

Technical and Environmental Implication
In biomass thermo-chemical conversion

• Ash agglomeration
• Environmental hazards
• CO
• NOx and ammonia and sulfur
• Unburned hydrocarbon, tar, PAH, soot and
  chlorinated hydrocarbon as coarse fraction
• Sub-micrometer (fine) particle emission as
  aerosol particle from inorganic and organic
  composition
