摘要：Gasification of solid fuels is an alternative process for energy production using conventional and renewable fuels.Apart from desired compounds, i.e.carbon oxide, hydrogen and methane, the produced gas contains complex organic (tars) and inorganic (carbonizate, ammonia) contaminants.Those substances, together with water vapor, condensate during cooling of the process gas, what results in the formation of aqueous-tar condensate, which requires proper methods of utilization.The management of this stream is crucial for commercialization and application of the gasification technology.In the paper the treatment of aqueous-tar condensates formed during biomass gasification process is discussed.The removal of tars from the stream was based on their spontaneous separation.The aqueous stream was subjected to ultrafiltration operated at different pressures.Such a treatment configuration enabled to obtain highly concentrated retentate, which could be recycled to the gasifier, and filtrate, which could be subjected to further treatment.
