The purpose of Thersites, from the Energy Research Centre of Netherlands, is to give insight in the phenomenon of the tar dewpoint and to allow calculation of tar dewpoints of your product gases.
Tar condensation initiate fouling in a biomass gasification process that ultimately can result in the malfunctioning or plugging of equipment. The high maintenance costs and reduction in the yearly operating time due to stand stills leads to an increase in the operating costs. Knowledge about the condensation of tar is indispensable for the reliable operation of a biomass gasification process.
