YEPES MAYA, Diego Mauricio  and  CHEJNE JANNA, Farid. Gasification of waste biomass in the flower industry, case: Eastern Antioquia. Rev. ion [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.2, pp.49-55. ISSN 0120-100X.

This paper presents the results of gasification of a mixture of 1/3 of each kind of residual biomass cultivation pompon, hydrangea and aster with steam as a gasifying agent in a laboratory scale reactor. The biomass feedstock received a solar drying before starting the gasification process, there was also a method for particle size reduction to obtain consistent geometries with gasification process, was characterized by proximate and ultimate analysis and established as reactor operating temperature range of 700 to 750°C. As a result, the composition of the produced synthesis gas was analyzed by gas chromatography and the average yield obtained: CH₄ 2.8 to 5%v, CO 9.3 to 22.2%v, H₂ 30.3 to 46.6%v.

Keywords : gasification; syngas; by-products; flower crops; energy.
