Abstract
Description
Biomass gasification and the production of syngas are important in the
production of biohydrogen, a green fuel and an energy carrier for the fuel cell.
The tool for the prediction of biohydrogen production from any biomass should
be readily available to determine the viability of such biomass for gasification.
The software implementing a robust gasification model is complex,
proprietary, and expensive. In order to solve this problem, we developed
Gasific, a software module for simple, free, and accurate biomass gasification
product gas prediction. Gasific, implemented biomass gasification,
stoichiometric equilibrium models, in Python and runs on a variety of
platforms. We discussed the application of Gasific on biomass wastes,
namely, Imperata cylindrica; the simulation shows good performance in
predicting the gas composition product of gasification. The developed
software and the code can be modified and applied to other scientific models
and transform the models into software applications.
