Abstract
AbstractIn the present study, kitchen waste is chosen as a solid feed for producing high‐caloric valuable syngas using CO2 as a gasifying agent. Dried kitchen waste is gasified in a spouted fluidized bed reactor for syngas production. In the process, along with syngas, a significant quantity of oil (48 wt.%) and solid char residue is obtained during pyrolysis. Further, the spouted bed process is simulated in ASPEN PLUS using various reactor modules and the calculated results is validated with the experimental data. A model using the combination of continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and plug flow reactor (PFR) with recycling of gas and char fits the behaviour of spouted bed. Further, the experimental investigation of fixed and spouted bed gasification of kitchen showed that the calorific value of syngas obtained during gasification is 10.45 MJ/nm3 with 30.00 vol.% CO and 24.00 vol.% H2. Further, the effect of process parameters such as pressure, temperature, spouting gas flow rate, and feed rate of kitchen waste on overall syngas composition is evaluated using ASPEN PLUS software.
