Simulation and optimisation for production of biogas from palm oil mill effluent (POME) using aspen plus
POME undergoes anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, and when it is purifed, the biomass can be used as a fuel. This work aims to create a model to simulate the production of biogas and identify the key parameters of the water scrubber using Aspen Plus. The production of biogas was successfully sim...

| description | POME undergoes anaerobic digestion to produce biogas, and when it is purifed, the biomass can be used as a fuel. This work aims to create a model to simulate the production of biogas and identify the key parameters of the water scrubber using Aspen Plus. The production of biogas was successfully simulated with a relative diference of less than 5%. The key parameters of scrubber in order of percentage contribution to the purity of biogas is as follows, the temperature of water (38.34%), column pressure (35.29%), water fow rate (23.75%) and lastly, number of stages (2.62%). By employing the optimum values, biogas with 99.3% methane purity was obtained. |
