The effect of air preheating in a biomass CFB gasifier using ASPEN Plus simulation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a computer model of a CFB biomass gasifier that can predict gasifier performance under various operating conditions, such as equivalence ratio (ER), temperature, air preheating, biomass moisture and steam injection.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual fluidised bed gasifier known as the fast internally circulating fluidized bed (FICFB) was selected and the model has been validated and predicts syngas composition, heating value and cold gas efficiency.
Process simulation of biomass gasification integrated with a solid oxide fuel cell stack
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the technical feasibility of these systems and to study the influence of important operating parameters and examine integration options, concluding that high temperature syngas cleaning is very attractive; gasification air preheating is more attractive than gasification steam superheating.

Simulation of a Circulating Fluidised Bed Biomass Gasifier using ASPEN Plus: a Performance Analysis
Wayne Doherty,Anthony Reynolds,David Kennedy +2 more
- 01 Jan 2008
TL;DR: In this article, an original computer simulation model of a CFB biomass gasifier was developed using ASPEN Plus (Advanced System for Process ENgineering Plus) It is based on Gibbs free energy minimisation and the restricted equilibrium method was used to calibrate it against experimental data This was achieved by specifying the temperature approach for the gasification reactions.
Simulation of a Tubular Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Stack Operating on Biomass Syngas Using Aspen Plus
TL;DR: In this article, a tubular solid oxide fuel cell stack was modeled and its operation on biomass syngas was investigated, and the results indicated that there must be a trade-off between voltage, efficiency, and power with respect to j and that the stack should be operated at a low STCR and a high U f.
