Title: Modelling of solid waste gasification process for synthesis gas production
Authors: Bhavanam, Anjireddy; Sastry, R C
Abstract: This
study presents a mathematical model to predict synthesis gas (CO+H2)
composition from selected solid wastes (municipal waste, animal waste and
agricultural waste) in a downdraft fixed bed reactor. This model assumes chemical
and thermodynamic equilibrium with products inside the reactor. Effect of
temperature in gasification zone, equivalence ratio and moisture content of
biomass on gas composition was investigated. Model helps to know the behaviour
of different biomass types and is a useful tool for predicting operating
parameters of downdraft gasifiers with this biomass.
