Mass flow of char/coal in oxygen-blown entrained-bed gasifiers: An assessment of instruments and methods of measurement
Abstract
The mass flow in the feed lines of an entrained-bed gasifier is investigated. There are several promising techniques for the measurement of this mass flow. Four techniques that appear to be suitable for measuring mass flow in either coal or char feed lines are listed. A fifth, pulsed neutron activation, is included because of its potential as a calibration instrument.
