Space Propulsion Research Laboratory- Combustion and Gasification Combustion and Gasification Clear images and colors Gasification is a thermochemical process which produces a fuel gas from solid and liquid feedstocks. Produced gas, syngas, is mainly consists of CO and H2 and trace amounts of CO2, CH4 and other gases. Common types of gasification systems are chemical reactors, which are categorized generally in fixed bed, fluidized bed and entrained flow gasifiers. Different processes occur in gasification which should be considered such as: evaporation and drying, pyrolysis, combustion, heat and mass transfer and fluid dynamics. In this research group fundamental and systematic studies on different aspects of gasification are done and still are investigating. Some of these studies are as follows: · Modeling of biomass gasification in fluidized bed gasifiers · Modeling of gasification of various feedstocks for hydrogen production · Simulation and exrgy analysis of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) for power generation from coal · Feasibility study and conceptual design of an IGCC for Tabas coal · Simulation and conceptual design of cryogenic air separation unit for IGCC · Modeling of heavy fuel oil and refinery residue gasification · Investigation of behavior of heavy fuel oil droplet in gasification and combustion · Study of spray gasification and combustion of heavy fuel oils Topic URL in Space Propulsion Research Laboratory website: http://www.iust.ac.ir/rln/find-14.196.120.en.html Back to content primary page
