Dr. Jayant Khambekar of Jenike & Johanson, a leader in bulk solids handling technology, presented at the Global Syngas Technologies Conference on "Feeding Challenges in Gasification of Feedstocks."
The talk focused on a critical issue in the renewable energy and biofuels sector: reliable feeding of low-bulk-density biomass into high-pressure reactors.
Khambekar discussed the difficulties of feeding materials like forest residue, agricultural waste, and municipal solid waste into gasifiers and high-pressure reactors.
Author's summary: New tech improves biomass feeding into reactors.
