Challenges and Opportunities of Modeling Biomass Gasification in Aspen Plus: A Review
Özge Mutlu, Thomas Zeng
Abstract
Abstract Aspen Plus has become one of the most common process simulation tools for both academia and industrial applications. In the last decade, the number of the papers on Aspen Plus modeling of biomass gasification has significantly increased. This review focuses on recent developments and studies on modeling biomass gasification in Aspen Plus including key aspects such as tar formation and model validation. Accordingly, challenges in modeling due to specific assumptions and limitations will be highlighted to provide a useful basis for researchers and end‐users for further process modeling of biomass gasification in Aspen Plus.
