This study aims to illuminate the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of municipal solid waste (MSW) gasifier in an 8 ton/day moving bed downdraft gasifier using pure oxygen as the oxidizer. Gasification technology has emerged as one of the promising technologies in treating the MSW. However, the complexity of the process and high cost associated has made the use of the simulation process before actual plant setup indispensable to save cost and time. 3D commercial code ANSYS was used to predict the CFD analysis results of MSW gasification and to provide some process fundamentals concerning syngas production from MSW gasification. The temperature, velocity, and syngas species contours were obtained from the CFD analysis of MSW gasification and compared with the experimental results. The predicted value of CFD compliments the trend obtained in experimental value indicating the accuracy of the analysis model followed. |
