Abstract:
Industrial expansion depends largely on electric power generation for its operations. These industrial activities have contributed significantly to environmental degradation from frequent emission of large volume of greenhouse gases. Concentration of suspended greenhouse gases in the air of many cities exceed World Health Organization standards and its effect on human health can be devastating. Thus, utmost importance is to generate clean and efficient energy from power plant. The aim of this work is to foster a way of reducing emissions in Power Plants by integrating gasification technologies to the system. Emission data from thermal power plant was analysed with varying gasifier pressure, air-fuel ratio, steam-fuel ratio, and flue gas-fuel ratio. Numerical simulation of the gasification cycle with varying parameters was carried out using MATLAB. The analysis indicated supplementary power generation and cleaner exhaust. The progress of this work can greatly reduce greenhouse emission.
