A new concept to remove tar by scrubbing from biomass gasification gas is investigated. The concept is based on a system capable to remove the tars in two sequential stages: heavy tars are removed in a first hot absorber and the light tars (and water) are removed in a second, colder, absorber. The liquid stream contain light tars is...

An assessment of the revamping of a 3 MWth atmospheric­pressure bubbling fluidized bed biomass gasifier was made in order to study the techno­economical viability of changing the gasifying agent from air to a mixture of enriched air based on membrane technology (up to 40% in volume oxygen) and low­pressure saturated steam. The expected changes...
