This outlet temperature is necessarily kept until the downstream scrubber to avoid the possibly substantial deposition of tars on the involved pipeline. Hence, the higher water content means the more C needed to be combusted to maintain the temperature of the combustor as well as of the fuel gasifier, lowering consequently the C amount for gas production. The converted H also decreases because the decreased C amount for steam gasification reduces the converted H from H2O (i.e. steam). Corresponding to the simulation conditions that 99% of the tars is reformed and the combusted char is almost free of H, the resulting H conversion is always higher than 100%. When no heat loss is considered, the available cold gas efficiency can be over 80% for fuels with water content lower than 40 wt. %. In order to reach a cold gas efficiency of 85%, the fuel’s water content has to be lower than 10 wt.
