Modelling of Biomass Gasification: Comparison between DWSIM and Aspen Plus©

Short Introductive summary

DWSIM software was tested as a potential suitable tool to simulate the thermochemical conversion of biomass. Simulation results from DWSIM were compared with those provided with Aspen Plus©. Successively, and once validated, the model was used to study the effect of the Temperature of reaction and Equivalence Ratio on the distribution of products. Finally, limitations the of free code software and the main differences between both models were highlighted.
