Can producer gas, water gas, and semi-water gas be mixed together to use as fuel? Our pipelines can all be connected to allow for mutual use
There is nothing that can’t be done; it’s just a matter of not thinking of it yet.
It can burn; all the gases contained in gas can be burned. Semi-water gas, in addition to containing combustible gases, also has some nitrogen.
It depends on what you plan to use it for, and whether there are any specific requirements regarding calorific value
If it stays in the gas tank for a long time, will the gases separate into layers?
It can be used as gas, but its calorific value is different. There will be no stratification when it is mixed in a gas tank, because the various types of gas mentioned by the original poster are already mixtures
It can be used as a gas, but its calorific value changes after blending
Burning is possible, as long as there are no requirements regarding the quality of the combustion; in other words, no requirements are imposed on the calorific value
It is necessary to carefully calculate the capacity and load of the equipment; since the calorific values of different fuels vary, a boiler designed for fuels with high calorific values can also burn fuels with lower calorific values. There should be no issue with gas stratification.
It should be possible to use it as fuel gas for furnace heating; the specifics depend on the composition and ratio of various gases. It is necessary to ensure an adequate supply of air for combustion, while also making sure that the heat value of the mixture resulting from combustion is not too high.
The calorific value needs to be calculated comprehensively based on the gas concentration to determine whether it meets the standards; in addition, the total sulfur content must also be analyzed, as otherwise the gas may not comply with regulations if it is introduced into the gas pipeline network.
It can be used as fuel gas; the Shanghai Coking Plant (combined heat, power and cooling system) supplies city areas with gas in the form of furnace gas, water gas, and semi-water gas – mixtures of such gases
