Emissions of dioxins and furans during steam gasification of Automotive Shredder residue; experiences from the Chalmers 2-4-MW indirect gasifier.

Emissions of dioxins and furans during the gasification of Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) were investigated. The experimental work was carried out in a Dual Fluidized Bed (DFB) system, which consists of a 2-4-MW gasifier that is fluidized with steam, and an interconnected fluidized bed combustor that is fluidized with air. Two different ASR fractions with higher and lower contents of plastic were tested.
