Conceptual Process Design, Energy and Economic Analysis of Solid Waste to Hydrocarbon Fuels via Thermochemical Processes

Thermochemical processes use heat and series of endothermic chemical reactions that achieve thermal cracking convert a wide range solid waste deposits via four thermochemical to hydrocarbon gaseous liquid products such as syngas, gasoline, diesel. The investigated in this research article are: incineration, pyrolysis, gasification, integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC). mentioned are evaluated for energy recovery pathways environmental footprint based on conceptual design Aspen HYSYS simulation. This paper also provides process well evaluation techno-economic analysis (TEA) including consumption, optimization, product yield calculations, electricity generation expected net revenue per tonne feedstock. results large scale technologies at an industrial level key performance indicators (KPIs) greenhouse emissions, capital operational costs tonne, electrical the processes.
