Preliminary study on designing and development of a synthesis gas analyser in the process of gasification

Malaysia has a great development in biomass industry. The industry needs to use synthesis gas analyser for monitoring gas composition in the process of gasification. Since there is no local production of such analyser, it is commonly imported from oversea for a very high price. Furthermore, analy...
