Abstract

In this work, two approaches to predict the producer gas composition obtained by direct (air) biomass gasification in bubbling fluidized beds were developed and compared, namely empirical modelling based on reported experimental results in the literature and non-stoichiometric chemical equilibrium modelling. For this purpose, an extensive database containing a set of 19 published experimental results from the literature was compiled and a non-stoichiometric chemical equilibrium model developed.
