GASIFICATION vs COMBUSTION OF WASTE/BIOMASS IN FLUIDIZED BED REACTORS
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a comparison of commercial fluidized bed gasifiers and combustors used to recover energy from municipal solid wastes and biomass. The work reported here is excerpted from four case studies prepared for the International Energy Agency’s Bioenergy Agreement, under Task 23 (Energy from Thermal Conversion of MSW and RDF, 1998-2000) and Task 36 (Energy from Integrated Solid Waste Management Systems, 2001-2003). The four plants examined include the VERBUND BioCoComb gasifier in Zeltweg, Austria [1], Lahden Lämpövoima’s La hti gasifier in Finland [2], the Robbins Resource Recovery Facility (combustor) in Robbins, Illinois [3], and the DERL Energy-from-Waste Facility (combustor) in Dundee, Scotland [4].

Environmental-economic evaluation of sugar cane bagasse gasification power plants versus combined-cycle gas power plants
Approximately 2.4 million tons of bagasse are produced each year in Iran, most of which are currently treated as waste adding to serious environmental concerns. Application of bagasse for energy production is a sustainable solution to supply the required energy within the sugar refineries and export the surplus electricity to the grid. Currently, the energy demand in Iranian sugar mills is main...
متن کاملProcess simulation and sensitivity analysis of waste plastics gasification in a fluidized bed reactor
This paper presents a simplified process simulation model of typical waste polyethylene gasification in a fluidized bed reactor using Aspen Plus. The proposed model incorporates both physical and chemical processes, including drying, pyrolysis, combustion and gasification, by using various inbuilt modules to predict the resulting product gas composition and temperature. A detailed sensitivity a...
متن کاملA Study of the Design of Fluidized Bed Reactors for Biomass Gas Ification
The present study is in two parts, the first part describes an investigation that was undertaken to determine the feasibility and hydrodynamic behaviour of a cold model circulating fluidized bed system proposed for the continuous combustion-gasification of biomass. The design is based on the principle that the char produced in the gasifier is circulated with the bed material and combusted in a ...
متن کاملAgglomeration and Fragmentation Phenomena of Bed Materials and Fuel Particles During Gasification of Coal-Biomass Pellets
The paper reports on a current research on fluidised bed gasification of biomass and coals. The focus is on the bed material agglomeration and fragmentation phenomena that are well known to affect the reliability and the efficiency of fluidized bed combustion processes. Preliminary results of dedicated tests at high temperature are reported and discussed in the paper. On the whole, agglomeratio...
متن کاملFluidized-Bed Gasification of Plastic Waste, Wood, and Their Blends with Coal
The effect of fuel composition on gasification process performance was investigated by performing mass and energy balances on a pre-pilot scale bubbling fluidized bed reactor fed with mixtures of plastic waste, wood, and coal. The fuels containing plastic waste produced less H2, CO, and CO2 and more light hydrocarbons than the fuels including biomass. The lower heating value (LHV) progressively...
