Excessive consumption of fossil fuels due to energy demand leads to an increase in the amount of CO2 emitted to the environment. Gasification technology enables clean and efficient use of fossil fuels such as coal, which cause CO2 emissions predominantly. Gasification can be utilized under several atmospheres such as air, steam, O2/CO2 mixture, etc. The reduction of inert gases (N2) and the increase of CO concentration at high temperatures in syngas provides high-quality gas. Among the commercial gasifiers, entrained flow gasifiers have many advantages such as obtaining tar-free synthesis gas, high carbon conversion efficiency, and production in high capacities. In addition, there is no limitation to the type of coal to be used. The performance of the entrained flow gasifiers can be examined by simulation programs and design optimization can be performed at a low cost. This study aims to develop a new entrained flow gasifier model for Turkish Lignite (Çan coal) using the Aspen Plus ® thermodynamic simulation program and the effects of various parameters on the synthesis gas were investigated by sensitivity analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
