Gasification of municipal solid waste in a downdraft gasifier: Analysis of tar formation

In this study, municipal solid waste (MSW) from a dumpsite was converted into refuse derived fuel (RDF) and used as feedstock for an air-blown gasification process. The gasification process was conducted in a 10 kg.hr -1 downdraft gasifier at different air flow rates of 300, 350, 400, 450 and 550...
