Process simulation of biomass gasification in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor

An advanced biomass gasification–proton exchange membrane fuel cell system for power generation

“…Nikoo and Mahinpey [15] used the same approach in their study. The details of the hydrodynamic modeling process can be found in our previous work [16].…”

“…In this study, due to its acceptable ability of BFBG in production of hydrogen rich gas, it is assumed that the gasifier operates under the bubbling regime. are not considered, due to their low concentrations; (iii) it is assumed that the system is steadystate; (iv) the process occurs isothermally, and residence time is not considered; (v) Ash and sand are assumed to be chemically inert under the studied conditions because the kinetic data about chemical properties of bed materials were not found in the literature; (vi) tar formation in the process is considered to be negligible, due to the fact that the calculation of tar content will lead to an increasing amount of error for final gas composition [16]; (vii) it is assumed that the biomass devolatilization takes place instantaneously due to high temperature.…”

“…Due to the fact that the system may not strictly reach complete equilibrium, a semi-detailed kinetic method is employed. The details and description of Aspen Plus model for syngas production in a BFB can be found in our previous work [16]. To improve the hydrogen production efficiency, two different water-gas shift (WGS) reactors are used, one is a high temperature shift (HTS) and the other is a low temperature shift (LTS) reactor.…”

A detailed study of oxy-fuel combustion of biomass in a circulating fluidized bed (CFB) combustor: Evaluation of catalytic performance of metal nanoparticles (Al, Ni) for combustion efficiency improvement

Simulation of Steam Gasification in a Fluidized Bed Reactor with Energy Self-Sufficient Condition

“…In contrast, the fixed bed system is more appropriate for a small-scale system [12]. Examples of steam gasification process studies are atmospheric fluidized bed combustor [13], biomass gasification in a fluidized bed reactor [14,15], steam blown dual fluidized bed gasification [16], and bubbling fluidized bed gasification [17]. Shehzad et al [18] studied the thermodynamic performance of a municipal solid waste (MSW) gasification system with a circulating fluidized bed gasifier under various operating conditions.…”
