GASIFICATION OF OIL PALM FRONDS IN A DOWNDRAFT GASIFIER

The physical and chemical characteristics and ligno-cellulosic composition of different biomass fuels widely vary resulting in variations on the performance and output from gasification of each biomass. Hence, the gasification performance of a given biomass material need to be studied in order to...
