Upgradation of methane in the biogas by hydrogenation of CO in a prototype reactor with double pass operation over optimized Ni-Ce/Al-MCM-41 catalyst.

The upgradation of methane in biogas by hydrogenation of CO has been currently recognized as a promising route for efficient full utilization of renewable biogas with potential benefits for storage of renewable hydrogen energy and abatement of greenhouse gas emission. As a main constituent of biogas, CO can act as a backbone for the formation of additional CH by hydrogenation, then producing higher amounts of biomethane. In this work, the upgradation process was investigated in a prototype reactor of double pass operation with vertical alignment using an optimized Ni-Ce/Al-MCM-41 catalyst.

Syngas Production for Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis from Rubber Wood Pellets and Eucalyptus Wood Chips in a Pilot Horizontal Gasifier with CaO as a Tar Removal Catalyst.

This research aims to investigate steam biomass gasification in a pilot horizontal gasifier using rubber wood pellets (RWPs) and eucalyptus wood chips (EWCs) for producing syngas with an H/CO ratio range of 1.8 to 2.3 for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis.
