Abstract

In the present work, the generation of hydrogen rich synthetic gas from fluidized bed steam gasification of rice husk has been studied. An equilibrium model based on equilibrium constant and material balance has been developed to predict the gas compositions. The equilibrium gas compositions are compared with the experimental data of the present group as well as of available literature. The energy and exergy analysis of the process have been carried out by varying steam to biomass ratio (ψ) within the range between 0.1–1.5 and gasification temperature from 600 °C to 900 °C. It is observed that both the energy and exergy efficiencies are maximum at the CBP (carbon boundary point) though the hydrogen production increases beyond the CBP. The HHV (higher heating value) and the external energy input both continuously increase with ψ. However, the hydrogen production initially increases with increase in temperature up to 800 °C and then becomes nearly asymptotic. The HHV decreases rapidly with increase in temperature and energy input increases. Therefore, gasification in lower temperature region is observed to be economical in terms of a trade off between external energy input and HHV of the product gas.
