Abstract: 

The objective of this work was to study a stoichiometric equilibrium model for the prediction of the hydrogen content in the gas mixture resulting from the gasification of pine sawdust, analyzing the effects of the variables and parameters in a fixed bed gasifier on a pilot plant scale. The main variable studied was temperature, the parameters considered in the gasification process included the oxygen rate and the presence of steam in the gasifying agent. The theoretical-experimental study compared the compositions obtained by the stoichiometric equilibrium model with the experimental values obtained. The results showed an acceptable concordance of the experimental values of the compositions of the hydrogen content in the producer gas with respect to that obtained through the software simulation of the equilibrium model, in the range of 750-850oC and values of oxygen rate between 0.2 and 0.3 and with the presence of steam.
