According to recent research from Shanghai, People's Republic of China, "A lab-scale two-stage reactor has been constructed for studying the release and destruction of tars in the twos stage gasifier, First, the pyrolysis characteristics of three fuel samples are investigated only using the single stage reactor. The results show that the maximum value of tar yield Is: rice straw 25%. corn straw 22%, and fir sawdust 31% of the initial fuel."
"Then, the experimental program is extended to investigate the effect or operating conditions in the second stage of the reactor on tar removal, The effects of temperature, residence time, char particle size, char type, fuel ...
