The study on kinetic value for simulation in fluidized catalytic gasification

유동층에서의 촉매 석탄가스화 공정 모델 모사를 위한 kinetics에 대한 연구

As a demand for energy, many studies are increasing about energy resource. One of these resources is coal which reserves of underground. A lot of research to use coal is going on as method of IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle). In addition, SNG(Substitute Natural Gas) and IGFC (Integrated Gasification Fuel Cell) are also being developed for fuel & electricity. This technology which uses synthesis gas after gasification is to produce electricity from the Fuel Cell. At this point, important thing is the components of synthesis gas. The main objective is to increase the proportion of methane and hydrogen in synthesis gas. The catalytic gasification is suitable to enhance the composition of methane and hydrogen. In this study, Exxon Predevelopment catalyst gasification study was served as a good reference and then catalytic gasification simulation process is conducting using Aspen Plus in this research. For this modelling, kinetic value should be calculated from Exxon's report which is used for modeling catalytic gasification. Catalytic gasification model was performed by following above method and was analyzed by thermodynamic method through simulation results.
