Abstract:
The paper describes development of a CFD¬pyrolysis model using an Eularian-Eularian framework with an implemented pyrolysis reaction model. The CFD¬pyrolysis model is used to simulate the bubbling fluidized bed reactor integrated in a new experimental fast pyrolysis process for bio oil production. The model is compared to experiments in aspect of outlet gas composition, temperature and bed height. Tar behavior and yield of bio oil are illustrated and a parametric study investigates impact of flow rate and temperature on bio oil yield. The results show a tolerable fit compared to measurements and reasonable tendencies in the parametric study.
