小型廃棄物ガス化発電システムの燃料ガス中に含有される軽質タールの計測に関する研究(熱工学,内燃機関,動力など)  [in Japanese] A Study on Measurement of Light Tar Content in the Fuel Gas Produced in Small-scale Gasification and Power Generation Systems for Solid Wastes(Thermal Engineering)  [in Japanese]

We have been developing small-scale gasification and power generation systems utilizing solid wastes. These systems employ dual-fueled diesel engines, which do not accept condensable tar content in the produced fuel gas. This paper describes a newly developed measurement method for small amount of light-weight tar (light tar) content in the fuel gas in a short time which is appropriate for usage in commercial plants. Furthermore, by employing this measurement method, the technical feasibility of removal of the light tar content in the fuel gas was demonstrated by utilizing sawdust filter or activated carbon filter in the laboratory scale experiment and in the commercial plant.
