Chapter 2 Biomass Gas Drying Pyrolysis Reduction Oxidation Grate Oxidant Figure 2.3 – Updraft gasifier Ashs tel-00623090, version 1 - 13 Sep 2011 The advantages of updraft gasification are: - simple, low cost process; - able to handle biomass with a high moisture and high inorganic content; - proven technology. The primary disadvantage of updraft gasification is: - syngas contains 10-20% tar by weight, requiring extensive syngas cleanup before engine, turbine or synthesis applications. Downdraft Downdraft gasification also known as co-current-flow gasification is simple, reliable and proven for certain fuels. The downdraft gasifier has the same mechanical configuration as the updraft gasifier except that the oxidant and product gases flow down the reactor, in the same direction as the biomass. A major difference is that this process can combust up to 99 % of the tars formed (Reed and Das, 1988). Low moisture biomass (
