Abstract
The synthesis gas, also known as syngas, can be produced from gasification of several fuels, being one of them the biomass, which can be originated from various industrial and natural processes. For this study, it is used biomass, with high productive potential in the country, as coconut shell, orange waste and cotton waste, evaluating the applicability to generate power. With a midsize downdraft gasifier reactor in a fixed bed, previously elaborated in SolidWorks software, biomass entrance of 60 [kg/h] and ER = 0,35, it is made the simulation of the reactor with 0,31[ m³], in Ansys FLUENT (CFD) software, and acquire the synthesis gas and his respective molar fractions. The actual work aims to measure and compare the syngas quality and the possibility to generate power from the characterized biomasses, presenting functionality aspects of thermal engines to integrate the gasifier, like internal combustion engine and vapor turbine, in order to produce energy in most efficient way, within the necessary adaptations to utilize this fuel and generate an estimated electrical power of 20[kWe].
