Özet

In this study, a modeling study was carried out to investigate the potential of hydrogen production from greenhouse tomato and pepper residues blending in different rates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%) by air-steam gasification. The numerical model developed for the gasification system assumes that all carbon in the mixture is gasified. Air to fuel rate and steam to fuel rates are 0.05 due to high content of O-2 in biomass residues. The gasifier temperature is 877 degrees C (1150 K) for developed model. According to the result of this study, increasing tomato residues blending rate increases hydrogen content of syngas. It is mainly caused by the content of O-2 in tomato residues being higher than content of O-2 in pepper residues. This study shows that the O-2 content of greenhouse residues is an important factor in syngas production, especially in H-2 production. (C) 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
