Abstract:

To achieve the carbon emission reduction target, the use of biomass to replace traditional energy is a key measure. The gasification process in the biomass gasification coupled power generation system was modeled and analyzed by Aspen Plus. The influence of equivalence ratio and ambient pressure on the composition of syngas gas was investigated, and the variation law of calorific value and energy of syngas was discussed based on the calculation results. The results show that the volume fraction of H2 shows a monotonically decreasing trend with the increase of the equivalence ratio, from 19.47% to 5.19%. The CO volume fraction reaches a maximum value of about 22% near the equivalence ratio of 0.3. The volume fraction of CH4 shows a monotonically decreasing state with the increase of equivalence ratio, from 1.3% to 0. Relying on the results of theoretical research, the gas calorific value curve shows the same change rule as CO and H2, and reaches the highest value when the equivalence ratio is 0.3. In the range of 0.3-0.35, the overall change is not obvious and then declines. Considering the energy brought into the furnace and the sensible enthalpy of the gas, a synthesis gas energy evaluation method of calorific value + sensible enthalpy was proposed, which reaches the maximum value when the equivalence ratio is about 0.35.
