Gasifier performance and energy analysis for fluidized bed gasification of sugarcane bagasse

Parametric gasification process of sugarcane bagasse for syngas production

“…Several conversion processes such as fermentation [10][11][12][13], anaerobic digestion [14][15][16], combustion [17][18][19], pyrolysis [20][21][22], supercritical water (SCW) gasification [5,23,24] have used SCB as a feedstock for development of sustainable energy systems and these include the bioethanol, methane, bio-oil and hydrogen, including other value added products [25].…”

Process Intensification and Miniaturization in Gasification Technology: Downdraft Gasification of Sugarcane Bagasse

“…The characterization of sugarcane bagasse properties is important for gasification system design. Fluidized bed gasifier was utilized, and experiments were carried out to measure the effects of various system specifications such as gasification temperature, equivalence ratio, and gasification steam/biomass ratio from sugarcane bagasse . The most considerable properties of any biomass that determined to impact the gasifier operations are the size of feedstock, water content and structure, bulk density and absolute density, chemical contents (i.e., ultimate analysis and proximate analysis), and the gross calorific value.…”

“…Fluidized bed gasifier was utilized, and experiments were carried out to measure the effects of various system specifications such as gasification temperature, equivalence ratio, and gasification steam/biomass ratio from sugarcane bagasse. 8 The most considerable properties of any biomass that determined to impact the gasifier operations are the size of feedstock, water content and structure, bulk density and absolute density, chemical contents (i.e., ultimate analysis and proximate analysis), and the gross calorific value. In an investigation, gasification characteristics of sugarcane bagasse are examined using the thermogravimetric analysis−mass spectrometry method and kinetic analysis.…”

Numerical Investigation of the Air-Steam Biomass Gasification Process Based on Thermodynamic Equilibrium Model

“…E biomass = β·LHV biomass (22) where β is a multiplication factor [8], which is expressed in terms of oxygen-carbon and hydrogen-carbon ratios. The exergy balance of the reaction process is as follows:…”

“…Air, steam, and air-steam are the generally used gasifying agents in gasification. Air is comprehensively used [21,22], since it is cheap. Steam gasification was found to produce gas with a high heating value [23,24] compared to air gasification due to the high content of H 2 in the syngas.…”
