Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A biomass gasification gas purification system includes a dust collector for removing dust in biomass gasification gas (containing tar components) acquired by gasifying biomass by a biomass gasification furnace, a desulfurizer for removing sulfur oxide components in the dust-removed biomass gasification gas, a pre-reforming reactor for reforming tar components in the desulfurized biomass gasification gas, a steam feed unit for feeding steam to an upstream side of the pre-reforming reactor, and a natural-gas feed unit for feeding natural gas on an upstream side of the desulfurizer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A biomass gasification gas purification method comprising: gasifying biomass so as to produce biomass gasification gas; removing dust in the biomass gasification gas; desulfurizing sulfur oxide components in the biomass gasification gas that has had the dust removed therefrom so as to produce desulfurized biomass gasification gas; reforming tar components in the desulfurized biomass gasification gas using a pre-reforming reactor, the pre-reformin…
