Steam Gasification of Biomass Coupled with Lime-Based CO₂ Capture in a Dual Fluidized Bed: A Modeling Study

Abstract

Biomass is an important renewable energy and making hydrogen-rich syngas from biomass is promising. Dual fluidized bed gasification technology can increase hydrogen content in the syngas. Moreover, steam gasification of biomass coupled with lime-based CO2 capture in a dual fluidized bed can further improve the syngas quality . This paper established a dual fluidized bed gasification model using Aspen plus,in order to explore the effect of different gasification temperatures and steam to biomass ratios on hydrogen content in syngas, providing a theoretical basis for the optimization of operating parameters and process.
