In the present paper reforming technologies for the treatment of biogas from municipal solid wastes are discussed. An approach based on the well-known ASPEN Plus software was adopted for the simulation of the whole process, assuming equilibrium conditions for the reactions development. The well-established steam-reforming, the dry reforming and an innovative two-steps reforming (including the basics of both models) were considered. A preliminary assessment was carried out comparing the predictions and experimental results of the steam-reforming procedure of diesel fuel. Then, the validated model was applied to the different schemes. The dry reforming (at 800 °C) showed better reforming efficiency if compared to steam reforming (at 600°C). However, carbon deposition occurs when dry reforming is in play. On the other hand, the two-steps technique demonstrated to be able to solve the problem of carbon deposition guaranteeing a very good efficiency.

Abstract
In the present paper reforming technologies for the treatment of biogas from municipal solid wastes are discussed. An approach based on the well-known ASPEN Plus software was adopted for the simulation of the whole process, assuming equilibrium conditions for the reactions development. The well-established steam-reforming, the dry reforming and an innovative two-steps reforming (including the basics of both models) were considered. A preliminary assessment was carried out comparing the predictions and experimental results of the steam-reforming procedure of diesel fuel. Then, the validated model was applied to the different schemes. The dry reforming (at 800 °C) showed better reforming efficiency if compared to steam reforming (at 600°C). However, carbon deposition occurs when dry reforming is in play. On the other hand, the two-steps technique demonstrated to be able to solve the problem of carbon deposition guaranteeing a very good efficiency.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
