Abstract

This work aims at developing a comprehensive methodology defining the influence of the proper feedstock management, number and location of gasification-power plants, and process configuration based on the thermodynamic performances of the proposed system under different scenarios. The feedstock was citrus peel from local citrus processing factories. A three-step model was adopted: best site criteria decision tool, location-allocation analysis by minimising energetic transport costs, energy/exergy and emissions analysis. This model was applied to three process scenarios. In the first, we considered a wet biomass (65% water content) dried at a local plant using cogenerated heat; in the second, the biomass dried prior to transportation (15% water content) used to power the combined heat and power plant. The cogenerated heat fed an Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) unit. In the third, the cogenerated heat is used for district heating.
