    / Gasification systems

    The operating temperature of a gasifier usually dictates the nature of the ash-removal system. Operating temperatures below 1,000 °C (1,800 °F) allow dry ash removal, whereas temperatures between 1,000 and 1,200 °C (1,800 and 2,200 °F) cause the ash to melt partially and form agglomerates. Temperatures above 1,200 °C result…
