Abstract
The gasification technical development of solid fuel is beginning to be taken up from coal and the biomass as a leading means to the large range of even waste these days. The merit of a gasification method is that manufacturing the gaseous fuel which is easy to use from solid fuel, and toxic substances, such as chlorine, sulfur, and heavy metals, are removable before using a fuel. The system characterized by gasifying municipal waste and automobile shredder residue using a pyrolysis kiln and a gas cracker was developed, and many processing data was able to be acquired. The design method of the energy and mass balance of the gasification system is being arranged from the processing result of a pilot plant with an amount of 4.6t/day, a 10t/day demonstration plant, and the commercial plant for 60t/day for automobile shredder residue. Moreover, amount of toxic substances containing dioxins is the minimum, and it was verified that a gas cleaning performance is high.
