Analysis of syngas and power production from tannery waste via gasification process using integrated thermal equilibrium simulation model

Managing high-ash sludge from tanneries is a significant challenge and requires investigating their conversion to valuable goods. This study explores the use of gasification processes to convert tannery waste into syngas and the use of syngas for power generation. In this respect, the inteV12. This model consists of (1) a steam gasification model for syngas production and (2) a power generation model for converting syngas into electricity. In addition, sensitivity analysis has been carried out to determine the effects of temperature (650-900 degrees C), steam flow (500-2000 kg/h), and CaO flow (0.1500 kg/h) on the composition and power generation of syngas. Changes in steam flow rate at constant temperature (cao flow rate 1500 kg/h) show an increase in H2 content to 80 % and a decline in CO and CH4 content. This increases total power output from 3680 kW to kg/h from 3500 to 4600 kW. Finally, the impact of CaO as a sorbent is significant in electricity generation and CO2 mitigation, increasing to over 600 kW of energy output. This work could tannery industry.
