DIRECT CONTACT FLUE GAS REACTOR HEATING TO REDUCE CAPITAL AND OPERATIONAL EXPENSESPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Proceedings of the Seventh International Symposium, 18-20 May 2005 (Beijing, China) Publication Date 18 May 2005 701P0205.(doi:10.13031/2013.18402)Authors: D. G. Paquin, T. Liang and Y. Kitamura Keywords: Methane, biogas, reactor, direct contact, combustion, heating Heated reactors using biogas and waste heat sources for heating reduce costs. Heating with hot combustion gases can reduce operational and capital outlays further. In this study, combustion flue gas characteristics from a low cost combustion unit are evaluated. Propane, methane and biogas were used at different pressures and flow rates. Fuel flow and pressures were related to combustion air requirements. A low cost combustion unit and air blower provided reactor direct contact heating and mixing. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
