This study addresses the co-pyrogasification of municipal solid waste (MSW) from Environmental Technology Park, San Juan, Argentina. process involves heating at high temperatures in a low-oxygen or oxygen-free atmosphere as sustainable strategy for management and energy generation. The principal objective is to focus on understanding MSW kinetics enhance performance reactor design. A representative sample collected over month was analyzed, focusing variation mass proportions plastic, organic...
It is well known that the widespread utilization of fossil fuels contributes to climate change, so exploring new sustainable energy sources more important than ever for transition pathways. The variability and intermittency solar wind are concern. Hydrogen (H2) as an carrier can address this issue. technology producing hydrogen from biomass gasification has not yet reached a high level technological maturity. main novelty work evaluate state art technologies H2 solid biomass, taking into...
Artificial intelligence (AI), particularly supervised machine learning, has revolutionized the biofuel industry by enhancing feedstock selection, predicting fluid compositions, optimizing operations, and streamlining decision-making. These algorithms outperform traditional models accurately handling complex, high-dimensional data more efficiently cost-effectively. This study assesses effectiveness of various learning in engineering, focusing on a comparative analysis artificial neural...
This study presents a methodology for assessing the technical and economic potential of electricity generation from biomass residues, using thermochemical conversion technologies. Applied in state Minas Gerais, Brazil, analysis focuses on residues corn, soybean, coffee, eucalyptus, sugarcane. A multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach, integrated with GIS, was used to identify most viable sources suitable technologies, namely Rankine cycle, organic gasification internal combustion...
The goal of this work is to understand the gasification process for Miscanthus briquettes in a double-stage downdraft gasifier, and impact different Equivalence Ratios (ER) on syngas, biochar, tar characteristics. optimal ER was found be 0.35, which yielded syngas maximum heating value 5.5 MJ/Nm3 with composition 20.29% CO, 18.68% H2, 0.86% CH4. To better observed behavior, an equilibrium reaction model created validated using experimental data. showed that decreased increasing ER, hydrogen...
In this work, an energetic and environmental evaluation of the electricity generation process through refuse-derived fuel (RDF) gasification coupled to a gas microturbine (GM) was performed. Two scenarios are considered with different agents in RDF modeling: air enriched oxygen. A thermodynamic chemical equilibrium approach used analyze parameters. The results indicate maximum value syngas low heating (LHV) equal 8.0 MJ/Nm3, obtained for equivalence ratio 0.3. use these produces 79.6 kW...
Abstract ‘Curb CO 2 emissions’ is a common expression today and it will be heard even more frequently in the future. Biofuels have attracted attention for many years, recently this has been directed, particular, to biofuels heavy‐duty vehicles. This sector contributes significant quantity of emissions Brazil. class fuels – biodiesel, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) an established industry However, limited capacity production limitations imposed by its properties, make difficult expand...
This study assesses the performance of a solid-state semiconductor-based hybrid photovoltaic-thermoelectric device that aims to harness both solar irradiance and heat dissipated from photovoltaic cells operating in Foz do Iguaçu city. Initially, technologies involved, arrangement proposed are presented; modeling process generator operation under local conditions taking into account energy availability is described later. The thermal harvesting brings out an average annual efficiency gain...
The purpose of this paper is to report studies on agricultural residual biomass gasification power cogeneration. classification was determined by availability and feedstock for thermochemical conversion waste materials flower industry in Colombia. Firstly, it made an inventory the main species flowers produced, they were evaluated from point view energy proximate ultimate analysis available biomass[1]–[4] [5]. As a result work, types with higher per unit area classified, generate average...
