This work presents an integrated plant-wide process for co-gasification of waste biomass and plastics using steam and CO2 to produce an industrially important feed stock i.e., syngas with molar ratio of H2/CO2. The proposed plant wide process is designed with key feature of Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) and made self-sustainable by utilizing a fraction of syngas for meeting the heat, steam and CO2 demands with additional heat recovery and steam generation and power generation sections. Further, steady state plant wide models are developed using ASPEN Plus, and simulations are performed for the co-gasification of High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and Rice Husk (RH) at varying feed compositions (0%-100% HDPE). Further, rigorous sequential parametric sensitivity analysis is performed to determine the optimal process parameters an.. View More»
