Abstract

Biomass gasification offers a promising route to low‑carbon hydrogen, yet the operating conditions and reactor configuration governing hydrogen-rich syngas remain insufficiently compared across practical regimes. This study aims to quantify the effects of gasifier type (updraft vs. downdraft), operating temperature, and superficial velocity on hydrogen production performance, with emphasis on the syngas H2/CO ratio. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were implemented to model devolatilization, oxidation, and reduction pathways under steady-state assumptions, while systematically varying temperature (680-800°C) and air superficial velocity (0.0025-4 m/s). Model validation against experimental reference data demonstrated good agreement, with relative errors ranging from 5.95% to 6.93%. The results indicate that a downdraft configuration operated at 680°C and 2 m/s maximizes the H2/CO ratio, achieving a value of 2.091, outperforming alternative settings in terms of hydrogen yield and energy efficiency, albeit with higher variability than the updraft configuration. Increasing air flow beyond this optimum diminishes the H2/CO ratio due to enhanced oxidation, whereas raising the temperature to 800°C generally reduces the average H2/CO across both configurations. These findings establish a practical operating window for hydrogen‑rich syngas from livestock waste and highlight the need for rigorous process control to manage variability in downdraft operation. The study provides evidence-based guidance for gasifier design and operation, aiming to achieve efficient and renewable hydrogen production.

Abstract

The rapid industrialization of the poultry sector has led to significant environmental challenges, including nutrient pollution, odor, and greenhouse gas emissions from improper manure management. This study explores the potential of chicken manure waste gasification as a sustainable solution for renewable energy production while addressing waste disposal issues. Utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations in ANSYS Fluent software, the research investigates updraft and downdraft gasification processes under varying operational conditions, including air flow velocity and temperature. The simulation model demonstrated high accuracy in predicting syngas composition, with average errors of 0.1657% at 580°C and 0.0969% at 680°C, validating its reliability. The optimal dimensions for updraft (30 cm diameter, 40 cm height) and downdraft (16.5 cm diameter, 60 cm height) gasifiers were determined to align with industry standards. Results revealed that air flow velocity significantly influenced syngas composition; moderate increases enhanced CO production in updraft configurations, while excessive airflow in downdraft setups reduced CO concentration due to over-oxidation. Temperature optimization further improved syngas quality, with higher temperatures (800°C) increasing CO and H₂ concentrations. The H₂/CO ratio remained stable under updraft conditions but exhibited more significant variability in downdraft setups due to differences in reaction kinetics and flow dynamics. These findings highlight the importance of precise control over operational parameters to optimize syngas yield and composition for energy applications. Future work should focus on refining simulation models, exploring diverse feedstocks, and enhancing process efficiency to advance sustainable waste-to-energy technologies.
