Abstract(s)
The modeling of the gasification process using the thermodynamic chemical equilibrium of the process is an important tool when it is intended to obtain preliminary results or to scale-up an experimental installation. In this
work, the gasification process of crude glycerol using steam as the gasification agent was modeled using stoichiometric and non-stoichiometric chemical equi librium models. The effect of the gasification temperature on the equilibrium composition of the producer gas was evaluated. The simulation results were com pared with the experimental results obtained in a downdraft fixed bed reactor. The results obtained showed that the two models predict the equilibrium compo sition in a similar way. They also showed that the gasification reactor is operating under conditions deviating from chemical equilibrium.
