Mathematical Modeling of Waste Engine Oil Gasification for Synthesis Gas Production; Operating Parameters and Simulation

The release of waste oil into the environment will have destructive effects. Gasification is an advanced and environmentally friendly process for converting oils clean combustible gas products. Thermochemical equilibrium modeling has been used in this method to predict performance a downdraft gasifier. This model uses thermodynamic gasification reactions gases produced mixture. Having percentage components produced, different characteristics including H2:CO ratio, temperature calorific value gas, Cold efficiencies carbon conversion efficiency are also obtained. effect equivalence oxygen enrichment pressure on properties analyzed. simulation results compared with reported experimental measurements through which numerical confirmed. indicated that ratio (mole air per mole combustion) between 0.4 0.42 had potential yield highest about 10.5 Mj.m-3. gaseous mixture range be 2000 K can other processes such as steam generation.
