Modelling of Wood Biomass Gasification for Process Optimization

Biomass gasification is a promising technology for sustainable energy production. To date, extensive research has been conducted on biomass gasification, particularly focusing on the reaction models of the process. However, existing models are too complex to apply to the control system or to optimize the process operating conditions effectively, limiting their practical use for industrial applications. To address this, a simple reaction model for biomass gasification was developed and validated. A steady state simulation of the biomass gasification process is conducted to analyze gasifier behavior and provide insights into reaction dynamic. The findings in this study align well with existing literature, confirming the reliability of the approach. This simulation serves as a foundation for further study in process control and optimization. Future work will include experimental validation to enhance model accuracy and applicability.
