En esta perspectiva, el objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la gasificación del bagazo de caña de azúcar mediante el estudio de las áreas efectivas de operación de este proceso y establecer una comparación con la gasificación autotérmica convencional. Se utilizó un modelo de equilibrio termoquímico para calcular los indicadores que caracterizan el desempeño del proceso por si solo y en integración con un ciclo combinado. Como resultado se obtuvo que la gasificación por plasma y aire del bagazo es técnicamente factible para la producción eléctrica neta específica de 4 MJ con un 30 % de eficiencia eléctrica produciéndose un gas con mayor poder calorífico que la gasificación autotérmica. Se determinaron los puntos de operación donde la producción de energía eléctrica y la eficiencia del gas frio alcanzan su mayor valor; a continuación fueron analizados los efectos de los parámetros operacionales sobre estos indicadores de desempeño.]]></p></abstract>

In this perspective, the aim of this study is to evaluate the gasification of sugar cane bagasse by studying the effective areas of operation of this process and to establish a comparison with conventional autothermal gasification. A thermochemical equilibrium model was used to calculate the indicators that characterize the performance of the process by itself and in integration with a combined cycle. As a result, plasma gasification of the bagasse was technically feasible for the specific net electric production of 4 MJ with 30% electrical efficiency, producing a gas with a higher calorific value than the autothermal gasification. The points of operation were determined where the production of electric energy and the efficiency of the cold gas reach their highest value; the effects of the operational parameters on these performance indicators were then analyzed.]]></p></abstract>
