Modeling crude oil gasification

摘要

The characteristics of CO2-gasification of crude oil under steady-state condition were studied using a simulator. The model was developed using the minimization Gibbs free energy minimization. The effects of reactor temperature and CO2/crude oil ratio on gas composition and lower heating value (LHV) of the produced syngas were investigated. As a result, the maximum LHV was obtained at a CO2/crude oil ratio of 0.1 and gasification temperature of 800 degrees C.
