The prediction of the concentrations of syngas components produced during non-catalytic steam gasification of bitumen

摘要

In this article the results of calculation for concentrations of syngas components produced during non-catalytic steam gasification of bitumen in consideration of chemical kinetics are presented. As an object of research the natural bitumen of Ashalchinskoe oil field of Tatarstan Republic (Russia) was chosen. The rate constants values of chemical reactions for bitumen gasification process were obtained using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Results were compared with the data of other researchers and showed a good convergence.
