How to simulate gasification using ASPEN? I am currently learning ASPEN, but I think it is mainly used in the petrochemical industry. I hope fellow users can provide more guidance
You can refer to the solid1-solid3 calculations included in ASPEN; they should be very helpful.
In terms of heat utilization, ASPEN is indeed used too little in gasification; there isn’t enough heat available, nor sufficient heat exchange, which makes it difficult to make use of ASPEN. ASPEN is best applied in distillation systems, where there is ample heat exchange and large temperature differences – this is the foundation. Don’t be limited to gasification. Take a look at how much logistics and how much heat exchange there is in the petrochemical industry. It becomes clear when you compare them.
Aspen is just a tool for simulating material/heat balance. The main problem that arises in the application is heat loss. In fact, when entering the calorific value of coal, heat loss can be taken into account. As a simple estimate, it is usually set at around 0.5% to 2% of the calorific value of the coal being used.
