1 BioEnergy in Manitoba Gasification Myths Dr. Eric Bibeau Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Dept Manitoba Hydro/NSERC Chair Alternative Energy Gasification Workshop Truths, Myths & Opportunities Greenwood Inn, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Nov 15, 2004
2 Gasifier Terms Used Distributed power (< 5 MWe) applicable to Manitoba Gasification for producing power direct = syngas indirect = hot flue gas Gasifier types discussed gasifier to produce a syngas to make power (direct) gasifier or gasifier/combustor to produce a hot flue gas to make power (indirect) Gasifier for heat (not covered) similar aspects apply focus on power generation
3 Why Look at Myths Need strong focus on realization of BioPower energy rather than on developing a technology gasification is favored in the public eye gasification is in news the EERC has completed over 100 hours of continuous operation of a biomass gasifier firing wood chips The process converts wood chips into gas (similar to natural gas) that can be fired in a small gas turbine (microturbine), diesel, or conventional combustion engine.
4 Why Look at Myths Need to be able to question information Experience from the Second World War shows, however, that properly designed wood gasifiers, operated within their design range and using fuels within the fuel specifications (which may differ between designs), can provide a sufficiently tar free gas for trouble-free operation From Mechanical Wood Products Branch, Forest Industries Division FAO Forestry Department large scale applications (500 kw and above): US$ 1000 per installed kw and upwards medium scale applications ( kw): US$/kW (gasifier only) small-scale applications (7-30 kw): 150 US$/kW, extremely reliable and should need no special operation and maintenance skills
5 Why Look at Myths Required to improve BioPower technology continuously questioning statements and findings a positive (negative) way to move forward understanding pitfalls allows solutions to be put forward many gasification projects have failed some types of gasification projects have succeeded understand how this technology could be effectively applied in Manitoba compares to other forms of biomass conversion technologies export market potential for Manitoba

8 Gasifiers are Scalable Scalability issues surrounding gasifiers are more complex than combustion devices thermo-chemical conversion depends on the geometry of the gasifier affects the thermal properties of the fuel impacting reactions General rule small scale updraft/downdraft large scale bubbling fluidized bed/indirect Follow load change direct approach must not affect HHV of syngas indirect approach decoupled Biomass Reaction Mechanism Primary Pyrolysis Biomass Primary Tar (CH x O y ) + H CO 2 + CH 4 + C 2 H 4 + C s Secondary Pyrolysis Primary Tar Secondary tar (CH x O y ) + CO + CO 2 + C 2 H 4 + H 2 Homogenous Gas Phase Reactions Gaseous tar Secondary Tar C + CO + H 2 Hydrogen oxidation H 2 + ½ O 2 H 2 O MJ Water shift CO + H 2 O CO 2 + H MJ CO oxidation CO + ½ O 2 CO MJ Methane oxidation CH 4 + ½ O 2 CO + 2 H MJ Dry reforming CH 4 + CO MJ 2 CO + 2 H 2 Steam reforming CH 4 + H 2 O MJ CO + 3 H 2 Water-gas shift CO 2 + H 2 CO + H 2 O MJ Methane formation CO + 3H 2 CH 4 + H 2 O MJ Heterogeneous Reactions (solid and gas phase) Partial oxidation of carbon C s + O 2 CO MJ Methane formation C s + 2 H 2 CH MJ Steam gasification C s + H 2 O MJ CO + H 2 Oxidation of char and hydrogen C s + 2 O 2 + H 2 CO H 2 O MJ Boudouard char C s + CO MJ 2 CO
9 Gasification is More Efficient Gasification is More Efficient What does the statement mean? high reaction efficiency as gasifier converts most of the fixed carbon caution: reduction reactions of the fuel may be affected by moisture content and this is not well understood BFB combustion devices covert most of the carbon produce more power using direct method vs indirect Gasifiers are often reported in the literature as being more efficient than combustion systems there is limited practical experience to support this claim Possible advantages of gasifiers are that burning syngas in a turbine allows for greater overall cycle efficiency gas turbine Brayton cycle with high efficiency gas turbines can theoretically outperform a steam-rankin cycle if properly implemented
10 Gasification is More Efficient Recent white paper on gasification reports plant efficiencies for integrated biomass gasification combined cycles of 35% to 50% these values are promising not achievable for small systems and for high MC fuels values seem higher than those achievable in practice by large fossil fuels power systems where fuel moisture is of minor important Rule of thumb No combined cycles under 20 MWe
11 Gasification is More Efficient At low MC Netley 1979 Area Harvest Moisture Biomass HHV Plant Available (Wet tonne) (Dry tonne) kj/kg Species (ha) min max (%) min max Dry Cattail , , ,070 98,043 18,229 Bulrush ,215 32, ,629 26,653 17,447 Reed Grass 650 1,112 1, ,020 17,285 Rushes, Sedges , ,819 15,838 Sum 9,806 13, ,659 11, ,535 Weighted average ,024 Vegetation maps Netley-Libau Marsh 2001 Small Condensing Steam Small steam with cogeneration Organic Rankine Cycle Air Brayton cycle Entropic cycle Gasification 1 Heat recovery loss (MW) Cycle loss (MW) Power generated (MWe) Cogeneration heat (MWth) Assumes Producer gas has heat value of 5.5 MJ/m 3 and cooled down to room temperature

22 Gasifiers Have Low Emissions Biomass emissions in general CO 2 neutral CO Excess air and good mixing CH 4 active use can be better or worse than natural decay Particulate can be addressed Sulfur biomass (except for MSW) has low S NO x important in all biomass conversion technologies every time air is injected
23 Gasifiers Have Low Emissions Biomass emissions in general SO 2 no influence of technology Natural way has more NOx CH 4 is 21 times worst of a GHG than CO 2 ; biomass energy production is the ONLY option that makes sense CO 2 no change except for composting
24 Gasifiers Have Low Emissions Do gasifiers have lower emissions than combustion devices? direct? indirect? Gasifier should have less fly ash because of reduced carry over as less air flow is required Is there a real advantage using syngas? does this outweigh the complexity of the flue gas treatment, fuel preparation, low moisture content requirements, and loss of the latent heat of the gas indirect method: is it easier and cheaper to clean the flue gas?
25 Gasifiers Have Low Emissions Gasification is seen as being the environmental choice is this justified? what are the physical mechanism to justify this? what about CHP; GHG offsets Look at designs combustors gasifiers Particulate levels are not low enough to use the syngas directly in an engine How emissions change with the type of fuel and moisture content is also not certain
26 Gasifiers Have Low Emissions Note: Gasification systems using the direct approach have two sources of emissions NOx, Sox, CO, PM need to be looked at from gasifier and engine Emissions need to be reported after the engine Cannot stop at energy from product or intermediate form Examples of multi-step energy conversion systems bio-oil renewable hydrogen ethanol from fermentation
27 Gasifiers Have Low Emissions BTG 2001 study of emissions from 21 gasifiers in Europe 4 out of 21 gasifiers met the NOx limit 5 out of 21 met CO limits 8 out of 21 met particulate limits Consider that gasifiers in these studies operated possibly with dryer fuel California study (From National Renewable Energy Laboratory, NREL/SR , 1999)
28 Gasifiers Can Handle Any Fuel Most gasifiers sensitive to the fuel properties Cannot support high moisture fuel content what gasifier manufacturers mean is that the fuel can be pre-processed to make the feedstock acceptable to their gasifiers requirements for this preprocessing are often not well understood economically or from an energy efficiency point of view little attention given in drying the fuel and evaluate the impact on gasification performance, efficiency, and costs fuel drying consumes heat and power and increases capital and operating costs alternatively higher moisture fuel can be mixed with lower moisture feedstock or with waste hydrocarbon fuels In traditional combustion biomass boiler systems fuel variations lead to boiler upsets
29 Gasifiers & Energy Crops are Favorable Consensus for marginal lands grow high yield crops use entire plant and weeds limit fossil fuel use use proven and economical conversion method Manitoba has unused waste biomass forest biomass wood residues from sawmills agriculture residues straw from grain animal wastes swine, poultry, bovine municipal wastes organic residues non-mainstream biomass cattails and peat moss See Gasification Workshop, Gimli, Manitoba, September 30, 2004
30 Gasifier Performance is Well-Known Need to develop the technical and economical aspects of gasification Determine if biomass syngas could be co-fired into power boilers in the province Determine if gasifiers can economically pre-dry high moisture content fuel Investigate the co-generation potential of gasifiers for direct and indirect conversion double the economic return displaces natural gas important in Manitoba for GHG offsets Syngas cleanup and conditioning technology
31 Gasifier Performance is Well-Known Methods to condensate the moisture and tars Biomass plant economics are poor compared to fossil based power systems important to achieve a simplified system that is troublefree gasifier need to operate at very high capacity factor BTG, Inventory of biomass gasifiers manufacturers and installations, Final Report, EWAP program, October 2001.
32 Gasifier Concentrates Heavy Metals This has been shown in Manitoba for MSW Mechanism of how the fixed bed interacts with the oxidizing agent is not well understood If gasifiers perform better than a deep bed combustion system, it is not known why
33 Gasifiers are a Low Cost Solution Gasifiers are low cost has yet to be demonstrated practically for all scales Need to demonstrate the cost advantages as require additional equipment: fuel: sizing & drying direct: tar, water, PM, latent heat removal to inject syngas into engine engine: production versus low BTU engine Cost for biomass turnkey installations for gasifiers should not exceed (high side) Base Power ($/kw installed) Capital Cost 5 MWe 3,000 1 MWe 3, MWe 4,000
34 Gasifiers are a Low Cost Solution Cost estimates vary according to industry, region, and the payback time required payback period can be reduced by up to 50% if the waste heat can be use productively payback for different capital cost and power rates Capital Electrical rates (c/kw hr) Cost /kw Pay back (years)
35 Gasifiers are a Low Cost Solution CHP Revenue Chart Electical Power Nartural Gas $0.060 per kwhr $0.025 per kwhr Canadian Dollars Revenue per BDTon Biomass Power (85% use) Heat (40% use) Total Bio-oil $19 $19 Gasification Syngas $22 $22 Air Brayton $21 $21 Large Steam $72 $72 Small Steam $29 $29 1 Small Steam CHP $17 $29 $46 Organic Rankine $30 $27 $57 Entropic Hybrid $35 $31 $65 *Revenue for distributed biopower systems using 50% MC biomass
36 Gasifier Has Limited Operator Requirements This point is crucial in the use of this technology for distributed power Gasifiers need to function with little operator assistance or they will potentially fail in the market place Steam engineer (cost?) indirect approach Impact of system on automation and operator requirements direct approach (focus on gas quality and hard to control) indirect approach (decoupled)
37 Gasification is Beyond Combustion Statement based in part on gasification being more environmentally friendly more efficient less costly in fashion Bias against combustion based on bad experiences in the past (older technology) time when their was no regulation doing the impossible: disposal of very wet biomass using combustion If all technology meets environment emissions, what is better? gasifier gasifier/combustion combustion incinerator fast and slow pyrolysis Low Capital, Operational, & Maintenance costs Which technology holds better promise for emissions reduction in the future? PM, CO, NOx, SOx, Ash disposal
