Abstract: Method and system for gasifying biomass. Tar loaded gas from the reactor for gasifying the biomass is subjected to a saturation and absorption treatment with a first and second fluid respectively. The first fluid comprises aromatic hydrocarbons whilst the second fluid comprises linear hydrocarbons. Tars received in the aromatic fluid is entered together with such fluid in a separation column. Separation is effected based on evaporation temperature and the lighter fraction is returned to the inflow of the saturation separator. The heavier fractions are either discharged or sent back to the biomass reactor. An intermediate buffer vessel can be provided between the discharge of the saturation cleaner and the separator.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for determining vibration-related information by projecting an aerial image at an image position in a projection plane, mapping an intensity of the aerial image into an image map, the image map arranged for comprising values of coordinates of sampling locations and of the intensity sampled at each sampling location, and measuring intensity of the aerial image received through a slot pattern. The method further includes determining from the image map a detection position of a slope portion of the image map, at the detection position of the slope portion, measuring of a temporal intensity of the aerial image and measuring of relative positions of the slot pattern and the image position, the relative positions of the slot being measured as position-related data of the slot pattern and determining from the temporal intensity of the aerial image vibration-related information for said aerial image.
