Conclusion
Characterization of fuels by means of pyrolisys and
gasification tests has been conducted
BASED ON THE RESULTS OBTAINED SO FAR:
For a fixed-bed, updraft gasification technology at
atmospheric pressure:
Usibelli coal is the most suitable (among tested fuels);
Low reactive coals are not suitable.
OUR WORK IS STILL IN PROGRESS
