Abstract
Plant biomass (such as wood, agricultural and logging waste) is considered a raw material with better environmental characteristics than fossil fuels. The main prospects for bioenergy are associated with combustion and gasification in small power systems, including as part of hybrid power plants. To increase the efficiency of gasification processes, an oxygen-enriched gasifying agent is often used, as well as fine grinded fuel (to intensify transport processes and chemical transformations). Thermodynamic estimates show the possibility of achieving the efficiency of the gasification at the level of 0.8–0.9, however, the experimentally achieved values rarely exceed 0.7. In this work, using mathematical modeling, we investigated the possibility of increasing the efficiency of the biomass gasification.
