Optimization of Gasifying Agents in 3D Downdraft Gasification for Enhanced Gas Composition, Combustion, and CO2 Utilization
The depletion of fossil-based fuels, fluctuating fuel market, and environmental deterioration demand an aggressive approach towards the advancement of renewable energy technologies. By the time reliable technology for a clean and abundant energy supply is established, existing sources must be economized. Biomass gasification is the way forward in that direction. CFD modeling shows promise in the development of advanced gasification systems. A simplified 3D CFD model of a downdraft gasifier is developed to investigate the effect of gasifying agent composition on the quality of syngas. Simulation results are compared with published experimental data and found to be in reasonably good agreement. Mixing CO2 with a gasification agent is also investigated as a possible carbon capture and utilization (CCU) strategy. An air-steam mixture is used as a base-case gasification agent. Firstly, the effect of air-to-steam ratio on syngas composition is investigated. Secondly, the effect of oxygen and mixing CO2 with a gasification agent is investigated in two separate cases. A 50%-50% air-steam mixture is found to produce the best quality syngas. Oxygen is found to have a negligible impact on the quality of syngas. The air-steam-CO2 = 23%-50%-15% mixture is found to be optimum regarding syngas quality.
