Understanding the differences between pyrolysis and gasification is crucial for anyone involved in biomass processing.
4 Key Differences Between Pyrolysis and Gasification
1. Oxygen Presence
Pyrolysis involves heating biomass in the absence of oxygen.
Gasification heats biomass in the presence of limited oxygen.
2. Temperature Range
Pyrolysis is conducted at temperatures between 400-600°C without oxygen.
Gasification involves endothermic reactions that require careful control of oxygen and temperature.
3. Product Composition
Pyrolysis produces bio-oil, bio-char, and syngas.
Gasification primarily produces syngas, which consists of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane.
4. Applications
Pyrolysis is favored for producing bio-oil and bio-char, which have applications in transportation fuel and soil amendment.
Gasification is preferred for generating syngas for electricity and heat production.
