EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS AND MODELING USING CESFAMB TM SOFTWARE OF THE PRODUCT GAS COMPONENTS ON THE 2MW TH GASIFIER PLANT

The work assesses the performance of a prototype 2MW th plant as an auxiliary source of energy based on biomass gasification using wood pellets as a fuel. During steady operation, process temperature, proce ss pressure and concentrations of components in the pr oduct gas have been measured the measurements are compared to the simulation results obtained with th e CeSFaMB TM software. The underlying model in this software is also used to determine the sensitivity of the simulated concentrations to various paramete rs of the gasification process. The results of modeling are i n general agreement with those obtained experimentally.
