Abstract:

The main objectives of this project were to:

Compare the current low calorific value (LCV) diffusion flame combustion system design against a lean premix combustion system (based on the ALSTOM G30 design) and a catalytic combustion design approach.

Provide a recommendation on the way forward for the commercial exploitation of the LCV and medium calorific value (MCV) gas fuel market, particularly for biomass and underground coal gasification applications.

The project evaluated the relative merits of three different systems for burning low calorific value gas. These were a diffusion flame combustion system (current Värnamo/ARBRE build), a lean premix combustion system (based on the ALSTOM-Lincoln premium fuelled G30 design) and a catalytic combustion system. The evaluation was based on assembly and analysis of:

The significant existing test data for the diffusion flame combustion system and bench-mark testing using a high pressure rig at Cranfield University.

High pressure rig testing of the lean premix combustion system at Cranfield University.

Data on catalytic combustion from the open literature and from a previous Foresight Challenge funded project.
