Tar Removal From Biomass Producer Gas By Absorption And Adsorption Methods

Tar in biomass producer gas should be removed to avoid blocking of the pipe lines and to allow producer gas utilization in internal combustion engines (ICE) and turbines for power generation. Among the physical tar removal methods, scrubbing technique are more attractive to remove tar from biomas...

description Tar in biomass producer gas should be removed to avoid blocking of the pipe lines and to allow producer gas utilization in internal combustion engines (ICE) and turbines for power generation.
