Abstract
As one of the most efficient biomass conversions, the gasification process is hard to understand because of its complexity. A simplified gasification process simulation using a zero-dimensional model was designed for an empty fruit bunch considering its potential in Indonesia. A stoichiometric equilibrium model was applied to simulate the whole gasification process. Global gasification reaction, mass, and energy balance with two independent chemical reactions are integrated to perform the model. Some sets of linear and nonlinear equations were solved with the Newton Raphson method in Matlab. The output of the model, like syngas composition and the heating value, was validated with available experimental data published. The zero-dimensional thermodynamic equilibrium model could be used to predict the maximum performance of the gasifier and make the gasification process more feasible.
