Abstract
In the research work underway at the Research Centre of Finland various types of fuel peat (milled peat, sod peat, pellet) have been assessed with regard to their suitability as feedstock for pressurized gasification and combustion processes. Requirements set on the pretreatment have been studied in order to meet also the handling and safety requirements. The work is closely connected with the production of synthesis gas from peat for ammonia production and with the development of the PFBC/G technology. Tests based on these studies, especially those related to sod peat crushing, flow properties determined for different types of sod peat crush (e.g. internal friction, cohesion, and flow function values) are presented and compared to those of lignite and milled peat. When the flow properties are known.
