Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach to tackle the dual challenges of energy scarcity and municipal solid waste management by exploiting the potential of municipal solid waste gasification. The performance of the modified updraft gasifier is evaluated using computational modeling with Aspen Plus V14 software. The reliability of the gasification model is confirmed by comparing it with experimental data, highlighting its accuracy in estimating key gas composition parameters. A detailed analysis of the percentage error between the gas's experimentally measured lower heating value and the model-estimated value is performed. Results show a 12.2 % error for municipal solid waste gasification, meaning the experimental lower heating value is higher than the model's estimation. On the other hand, a 27,2 % error is observed for pellet gasification, implying a lower experimental lower heating value than the model's estimation. These findings provide useful information for future optimization and improvement of the gasification process, further advancing the field of waste-to-energy conversion and promoting sustainable energy generation.
