heat of combustion

Article is devoted to the issue of selecting a gas representative sample directly of consumer (from low-pressure gas pipelines) as well as conducting representative studies of the natural gas heat combustion by using a direct method with gas calorimeter. Article describes the disadvantages of chromatographic method for determining the heat of gas combustion and indicates the necessity of developing a gas calorimeter. Development of a sampler on the basis of a typical cylinder with the using pneumatic drive of various configurations is proposed. Lack of existing samplers is proved.

At woodworking enterprises, there is a large amount of wood waste the energy potential of which can be used as an alternative source of energy for the generation of heat energy at boiler houses. Gasification is one of the cheapest and environmentally friendly methods for processing organic wood waste and obtaining an additional source of energy. The process of gasification occurs when wood waste is heated to high temperatures in the presence of oxygen, which results in the generation of combustible gas.

The article discusses the results of studies of the methane production from cyan biomass based on the data obtained in the course of a laboratory experiments. The yield of biogas was calculated from the substrate per unit volume, and its energy properties were determined. Experimental data indicates the feasibility and economic viability of this biotechnology.
