• Aspen Plus Simulation of Biomass Gasification with known Reaction Kinetic 

      Eikeland, Marianne Sørflaten; Thapa, Rajan Kumar; Halvorsen, Britt (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)
      The energy from biomass can be utilized through the thermochemical conversion processes of pyrolysis and gasification. The Aspen Plus simulation tool is applicable for simulation of the gasification processes. The most ...
    • Characterization of biomass wood 

      Haugen, Hildegunn H.; Furuvik, Nora Cecilie Ivarsdatter; Moldestad, Britt Margrethe Emilie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
      Biomass is a renewable energy resource and can replace the use of fossil fuels, such as coal. Overgrown forests and fields are about to become a noticeable problem, because the rate of woodcutting is too low compared with ...
    • Simulation of Gasification of Livestock Manure with Aspen Plus 

      Haugen, Hildegunn H.; Halvorsen, Britt; Eikeland, Marianne Sørflaten (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)
      Gasification is a flexible technology where all types of organic waste including biomass from manure can be used as feed to the reactor. The recovery of energy from solid waste offers several benefits including substantial ...
    • Simulation of Simplified Model for Reaction Kinetics in Biomass Gasification 

      Agu, Cornelius Emeka; Thapa, Rajan Kumar; Halvorsen, Britt (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2015-11-25)
      Due to complexity in interactions between solid particles and between particles and carrier fluid, modeling of biomass gasification kinetics has been shown to be very challenging. Some commercial packages such as Barracuda ...
