“…In the case of plasma gasification, a plasma source is used to supply heat to the reactor to sustain the endothermic gasification reactions. 5 These advantages motivate the development of accurate mathematical models for plasma gasification which can help to analyze the effect of various parameters on the performance. High temperature plasma gasification operates at temperatures above 2500 K. At such high temperatures the formation of radicals is favored and their presence accelerates chemical reactivity.…”

“…This work focused on the energy and exergy analysis of the gasifier under various conditions. In the work of Janajreh et al 7 and Minutillo et al 5 a nontransferred arc plasma gasifier was modeled as being made of two parts, namely a high temperature zone (HTZ) which is close to the plasma arc and a low temperature zone(LTZ). Both the zones were modeled using thermodynamic equilibrium models based on a nonstoichiometric (Gibbs energy minimization) approach and considered the presence of possible radicals.…”

Plasma gasification is a process intensification technique in which the prevailing high temperatures accelerate the reactions resulting in a significant size reduction of the gasifier. Conventionally, a gasifier is modeled using either a thermodynamic or a kinetic approach. Present work proposes a novel method of modeling the plasma gasification process which combines these two approaches. The process is modeled as a combination of two regions: a Plasma Gasifier Zone (PGZ) and a Quenching Zone (QZ). PGZ, where gasification of feedstock takes place at high temperatures is modeled by thermodynamic equilibrium. QZ, where the syngas produced in the PGZ cools down, is modeled by kinetic approach. The hybrid approach captures the behavior more accurately and requires less computational effort. The proposed hybrid model is validated with experimental data from literature. The model is used to analyze the influence of radicals in plasma gasification and the performance for different operating conditions. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 64: 2592–2602, 2018

Abstract:In this paper, an integrated gasification combined cycle conceptual design that achieves optimum energy efficiency and 82.9% heat integration between hot and cold utilities is illustrated. The integrated combined gasification cycle (IGCC) is also modeled and evaluated for the co-production of electricity, ammonia and methane for 543.13 kilo tonne per annum (KTA) of municipal solid waste (MSW). The final products are 1284.89 MW, 8731.07 kg/h of liquid ammonia at 8 • C and 32,468 kg/h of methane gas at 271 • C. The conceptual design includes advanced heat integration between syngas and hot and cold streams in all process units. The water gas shift (WGS) unit includes integration between equilibrium reactors and cold streams. The air separation unit (ASU) includes four air compressors followed by a pressure swing adsorber (PSA), which separates oxygen and nitrogen gases into separate streams. Both O 2 and N 2 gases are compressed and sent to gasifier and syngas cleaning unit, respectively. The overall design shows reliability and solved steady state equations for all process units with improvements in thermal efficiency in comparison with single cycle gasification plants. The environmental emissions for GHGs such CO 2 and SO 2 are lower due to higher overall energy efficiency.
