Simulation of Supercritical Water Gasification of Microalgae for Hydrogen and Methane-rich Gas Production
Abstract:The supercritical water gasification of Nannochloropsis sp, Spirulina sp. and Scenedesmus obliquus microalgae was examined using Aspen plus (V11) software. The influence of temperature (400 -700 °C ) and biomass concentration (10 -40 wt %) on the composition, yield and lower heating value (LHV) of the gaseous product was investigated. The results showed that low temperature and high biomass concentration favors the production of methane-rich gas while high temperature and low biomass concentration favors hydro… Show more
