What is the composition of producer gas?

Answer 1

Natural gas as recovered from underground deposits contains mainly methane (CH4), but it also contains heavier gaseous hydrocarbons such as ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8) and butane (C4H10). Other gases such as CO2, nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) are also often present. Natural gas also contains small amounts of helium, and is the main source of helium. Small amounts of Mercury may be present. The exact composition varies from one field to another.

Methane is typically 70-90 percent, ethane 5-15 percent, propane and butane up to 5 percent.

Sulfur compounds must be removed before distribution. Small amounts of odorant are added to assist in leak detection. Mercury if present is removed.

Answer 2

I have been involved in the installation of biomass low pressure hot water heating boilers and acquired the following information from different sources.

Dry ash free wood contains 85.5% Volatile Matter, 13.4% fixed carbon, sulphur 0.02%.

The constituents of the volatile matter being producer gas, according to the India Institute of Science's website gives the volatile matter as CO 20+2%, CH4 3+1%, H2 20+2%, CO2 12+1% the Rest being N2. The calorific value of producer gas is 4.5 - 5% MJ/kg

Answer 3

Natural gas consists mostly of Methane, CH4, and Ethane, C2H6 (0-20%). I'm not sure that natural gas in and of itself can actually have a chemical formula since it is a compound found variably in nature. It would necessarily have different amounts of different compounds in it.

Answer 4

i haven't seen the right answer for this question but very soon i will

Answer 5

It is around 1 kg per cubic metre
