“…Economic analysis was conducted on the currently designed systems to further evaluate the potential of using biomass gasification, which is a clean and efficient technology for waste treatment [48], in HPAI poultry treatment. Table 6 shows the total investment cost result of the two-gasification basis systems designed in the current work, in which the fixed bed gasifier, the syngas boiler, and steam turbine share the largest equipment cost.…”

Despite growing attention has been paid to waste material gasification for high-efficiency energy conversion, the application of gasification technology in meat waste management is still limited. To fill this gap, this study designed two systems which evaluated the potential of using gasification technology to manage the poultry waste that has been exposed to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Two systems are simulated by using Aspen plus combined with a one-dimensional kinetics control gasification model, and wood or dried poultry is selected as the feedstock for the gasifier. The results show that the energy efficiency of the poultry drying system (wood gasification) is 14.5%, which is 12% lower than that of the poultry gasification system when the poultry energy is accounted as energy input. Even though the economic analysis indicates the poultry elimination cost of the poultry gasification system is only 30 $/tonne lower than the poultry drying system, taking the absence of dried poultry burial into consideration, the poultry gasification system has development potentials. The sensitivity analysis shows that labor fee and variable factor has larger effects on the poultry elimination cost, while the uncertainty analysis determines the uncertainty level of the economic analysis results.

“…The validation also conducted by experiments in the plant. By comparing the H2 and CO content in the producer gas as the result of experimental data and the model, root mean square error (RMSE) values were calculated to check the accuracy of the model (Gu et al, 2018). This value is defined by Eq.…”

“…By using this approach, these reactions and their equilibrium constants are not considered in the model (Baruah & Baruah, 2014). Many investigators have reported that this approach delivers a good agreement between simulation and experiment (Doherty, Reynolds, & Kennedy, 2009); (Hannula & Kurkela, 2012); (Adnan, Susanto, Binous, Muraza, & Hossain, 2017); (Adnan & Hossain, 2018); (Puig-Gamero, Argudo-Santamaria, Valverde, Sánchez, & Sanchez-Silva, 2018); (Gu, Tang, Yao, & Chen, 2018). Many similar types of research with special purposes, object studies, parameter studies, and feedstocks have been performed by previous investigators.…”

“…Many similar types of research with special purposes, object studies, parameter studies, and feedstocks have been performed by previous investigators. A thermodynamic study of coal gasification in an entrained gasifier for generating electricity with burner type and input nozzle angle as parameters study has been performed (Lee et al, 2012), while rice straw gasification with variations in gasification medium and ER was also studied thermodynamically (Gu et al, 2018). The effects of gasifier temperature and ER in two fixed-bed municipal solid waste gasifiers was investigated to determine the most suitable gasification conditions (Chen, Jin, Yan, & Chi, 2013).…”

This study evaluated thermodynamically the performance of conversion of palm kernel shells into combustible gas through gasification technology for aggregate heating in a hot-mixed asphalt production plant by developing a thermodynamic model using licensed Aspen Plus v.11 software. The effects of the equivalence ratio (ER) in the gasification process and the amount of combustion air to combustible gas to attain the required aggregate temperature were investigated. The thermodynamic model showed a good agreement with the experimental results based H2 and CO contain in producer gas which provided by maximum root mean square errors value of 8.82 and 6.42 respectively. Gasification of 30–35 kg of palm kernel shells in a fixed-bed gasifier reactor using air as a gasifying agent at an ER of 0.325–0.350 generated gaseous fuel for heating 1 ton of aggregate to a temperature of 180–200°C with combustion excess air 10%–20%. ©2020.

Thermochemical conversion of biomass is a technique used in recovering its energetic content and for the production useful biofuels. A lot of wastes/residues are generated from the harvesting and consumption of banana fruits. This study developed an ASPEN Plus model for the gasification of banana (Musa Spp.) residues pseudo-stem, the peels and the leaves. The model will be used to study the effect of gasification temperature, gasification pressure and air-fuel ratio (AFR) on the selectivity of the chemical species in the product stream. For all three residues, the selectivity of hydrogen increases with temperature with temperature. At the optimum temperature, the hydrogen molar selectivity in the product stream is 56% (900oC), 55% (900oC) and 53% (700oC) for pseudo-stem, peels and leaves respectively. At the optimum atmospheric pressure, the hydrogen molar percentage in the product stream was 48%, 49% and 50% for pseudo-stem, peels and leaves respectively. At the optimum AFR, the hydrogen selectivity in the product stream is 55%, 52% and 46% for pseudo-stem, peels and leaves respectively. All three residues are reasonably good feedstock for the gasification process but the pseudo-stem possesses a marginal advantage over the others.
