Pyrolysis and gasification are key thermochemical conversion routes for transforming biomass and waste-derived feedstocks into syngas, bio-oil, char, and process heat. They are central to many advanced biofuel and circular-carbon pathways and offer greater product flexibility than direct combustion, but performance depends strongly on feedstock properties, reactor design, and operating conditions. Since real feedstocks vary in moisture, ash, volatiles, and contaminants, and the conversion process involves complex reactions coupled with heat and mass transfer, rigorous process modelling is essential to predict yields, energy efficiency, and product quality and to evaluate overall plant performance.
With SimTech’s Integrated Process Simulation Environment, IPSE, engineers can model complete pyrolysis and gasification plants in a unified flowsheeting framework. IPSEpro and IPSE GO make it possible to calculate mass and energy balances, analyse operating cases, compare alternative process concepts, and evaluate the integration of reactors, gas cleaning, heat recovery, and downstream process units.
