Abstract
Relative to comparable test conditions with dry feed fractions (having a moisture mass fraction of 7-12%), an average 11% increase in carbon conversion was observed for the wetter feed fractions containing a moisture mass fraction of 24-31%. This increase in carbon conversion offset much of the expected decrease in cold gas efficiency by using a wetter feed material. A slight increase in hydrogen production and negligible change in tar production was observed for the wetter feed fractions relative to the dry feed fraction.
