Modeling and simulation of a fixed bed gasification process for thermal treatment of municipal solid waste and agricultural residues

This work aims to develop a numerical simulation model of the combined and integrated production process of combustion and gasification, for a synthesis gas production system (SYNGAS), fed with municipal solid waste (MSW), agricultural and forestry waste. For this purpose, the EMSO software (Environ...
