Prospective of Response Surface Methodology as an Optimization Tool for Biomass Gasification Process

The worldwide population growth and the technological advancements reported in past few years have led to an increase production consumption of energy. This has increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primary driver climate change. As a result, great attention been paid sustainable green energy sources that can replace or reduce reliance on non-sustainable sources. Among different types renewable currently available, bioenergy as attractive resource mainly due its low cost availability. Bioenergy be produced from biomass converted into biofuels value-added products through thermochemical, biochemical, chemical processes. Gasification is thermochemical process commonly used for production, it particularly high efficiency. However, performance influenced by parameters such type feedstock, size particle, feed rate, reactor, temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio, steam gasification agent, catalyst, residence time. In this paper, influence analyzed, optimization modelling techniques are proposed strategy product yield enhancement.
