The Rule of thumb for reactor design and process conditions for supercritical water gasification of wet biomass is introduced. The important aspects includes heat transfer and heating rate, reaction rate, plugging, gas composition, inorganic element behavior, and heat of reaction. The know-hows were developed by the laboratory scale, and pilot scale reactors.
