Item type:Publication, Design and evaluation of the sorption enhanced steam reforming and solid oxide fuel cell integrated system with anode exhaust gas recirculation for combined heat and power generation(2017-01-01) ;Wiranarongkorn, Kunlanan; ;Ponpesh, Pimporn; Arpornwichanop, AmornchaiSolid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an electrochemical device for power generation with high efficiency and low environmental impact. Due to a high-temperature operation of SOFC, useful heat can be recovered to enhance its system efficiency. Regarding the environmental concern, bio-oil, the renewable liquid fuel, can be applied to SOFC system. In this study, the SOFC integrated with a steam reforming of bio-oil is considered. A sorption enhanced reforming process is studied for the production of high purity hydrogen for SOFC, and the anode gas recirculation in the SOFC system is proposed for the system improvement. Modeling of such an integrated process is performed using Aspen Plus simulator. As heat and power are generated from the SOFC system, the effect of key design parameters; fuel utilization and recirculation ratio of the anode gas, on a heatto-power ratio is analyzed. The system performance regarding to the electrical and thermal efficiencies is also evaluated. The results show that increasing the anode recirculation ratio increases the combined heat and power (CHP) performance, but increasing the fuel utilization decreases the thermal efficiency. It is also found that the appropriate range of heat-to-power ratio of the system varies from 0.24 to 0.89. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Optimization of a membrane-based oxidative coupling of methane reactor using surface response methodology(2013-01-01); ;Tiraset, Sirikarn ;Saebea, Dang ;Paengjuntuek, WoraneeArpornwichanop, AmornchaiAn oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) is a promising process to convert methane into ethylene and ethane; however, it suffers from the relatively low selectivity and yield of ethylene at high methane conversion. In this study, a membrane reactor is applied to the OCM process in order to prevent the deep oxidation of a desirable ethylene product. First, simulations of the OCM reactor based on mass and energy balances coupled with detailed OCM kinetic model are performed and effects of key operating parameters, such as temperature, methane-to-oxygen feed ratio and methane flow rate, on the OCM reactor performance in terms of CH<inf>4</inf> conversion, C<inf>2</inf> selectivity and yield are analyzed. To determine its optimal operating conditions, an optimization of the OCM membrane reactor using a surface response methodology is carried out in the second part. The central composite design (CCD) is used to study the interaction of process variables (i.e., temperature, feed flowrate and CH<inf>4</inf>/O<inf>2</inf> ratio) and to find the optimum process operation to maximize the C<inf>2</inf> products yield. © 2013, AIDIC Servizi S.r.l. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Exergy and exergoeconomic assessment of sustainable light olefins production from an integrated methanol synthesis and methanol-to-olefins system(2022-05-01) ;Detchusananard, Thanaphorn ;Prasertcharoensuk, Phuet; ;Maréchal, FrançoisArpornwichanop, AmornchaiIntegrated methanol synthesis and methanol-to-olefins systems are considered attractive and promising technologies to produce light olefins from syngas derived from biomass feedstock. In this study, a flowsheet model of a proposed system was developed and employed for system design and analysis. The system consists of four main parts: methanol synthesis, methanol-to-olefins process, olefins separation, and power plant. The effects of important operating parameters on the exergy efficiency were investigated to determine the optimal operating conditions to achieve the maximum exergy efficiency of this system. The results indicate that the methanol synthesis process should be operated at temperature, pressure, and recycling ratio of 250 °C, 150 bar, and 0.85, respectively, whereas the methanol-to-olefins process should be operated at a temperature of 480 °C and the power plant should be run at steam temperature and steam pressure of 650 °C and 50 bar, respectively. Heat integration based on a pinch analysis was subsequently performed to improve the system energy usage, resulting in a 9.29% increase in the exergy efficiency of the integrated system. An exergoeconomic analysis of the integrated system with the designed heat exchanger network was performed. The results show that the power plant has the highest cost rate of exergy destruction and total cost rate. Moreover, the syngas feedstock cost has the greatest impact on the exergoeconomic indicators; it is necessary to minimize this cost to achieve economic viability of the process for industrial use. The production of light olefins from the integrated methanol synthesis and methanol-to-olefins system using a renewable syngas feedstock has a potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to the use of renewable sources replacing fossil sources. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Analysis of unbalanced pressure PEM electrolyzer for high pressure hydrogen production(2017-01-01) ;Saebea, Dang; ;Hacker, Viktor ;Assabumrungrat, SutthichaiArpornwichanop, AmornchaiProton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is a promising technology and likely to be an important hydrogen generator. The ability to produce high purity hydrogen and deliver it at relatively high pressure is an important advantage of the PEM electrolyzer technology. In this work, the high pressure PEM electrolyzer without the need for external compression is studied. The simulation of the electrolyzer is performed based on an electrochemical model with consideration of hydrogen permeation. The effect of cathode pressure and membrane thickness on electrolyzer performance is studied. The explosion limit of a hydrogen-oxygen mixture in the anode is also taken into consideration. The electrochemical compression shows advantage in term of delivering hydrogen at high pressure with having less effect on performance and low power requirement. The increase of cathode pressure slightly affects the electrolyzer performance. The high pressure operation at the cathode and the use of thin membranes cause hydrogen crossover from the cathode to anode, especially at high current density operation. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Operational Analysis of a Proton-Conducting Solid Oxide Electrolysis Cell for Synthetic Fuel Production(2021-01-01) ;Bhichaiphab, Jinjutha ;Saebea, Dang ;Arpornwichanop, AmornchaiMethane and methanol as synthetic fuels can be produced from synthesis gas or syngas. A proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cell (H-SOEC) becomes a promising technology that can produce syngas from the co-electrolysis of steam and CO<inf>2</inf>. In this work, the synthetic fuel production from syngas produced by a H-SOEC was modelled and simulated through Aspen Plus simulation software. The composition of syngas and synthetic fuel were calculated by using the minimization of Gibbs free energy. Firstly, the steam to CO<inf>2</inf> (S/C) molar ratio in feed was determined to satisty the suitable stoichiometric number of each fuel. Further, the H-SOEC operating temperature was optimized. The simulation showed that at operation of H-SOEC as 650 °C and 1 atm, the optimal S/C molar ratio for methane and methanol productions is 4.69 and 3.52, respectively. Then, the effect of operation in fuel production was examined. The results indicated that methane flowrate of 0.2 kmol/h can be provided when reactor operates at 250 °C and 3 atm. For methanol production, 0.13 kmol/h of methanol can be generated at reactor operation as 250 °C and 80 atm. In addition, it was found that the methane production does not release CO and CO<inf>2</inf> to nature. Therefore, it can be concluded that the integrated system of H-SOEC and methane production is more attractive feature. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Methanation Process for Methane Synthesis from Waste Gas: Process Simulation(2022-01-01) ;Saebea, Dang ;Chatrattanawet, Narissara ;Soisuwan, Soipatta ;Arpornwichanop, AmornchaiWaste gas from the fermentation of bioethanol production consists of high carbon dioxide concentration. The CO<inf>2</inf> emissions cause global climate change. The conversion of carbon dioxide to chemical products or fuels is an interesting solution for reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions. The methane synthesis via carbon dioxide methanation reaction has attracted much attention. The suitable operation of the methanation process for methane synthesis from waste gases should be studied. This work aims to investigate the methane production from the waste gas of the fermentation process. The composition of impurities in waste gases on the performance of the methanation process is investigated. The effects of hydrogen to carbon dioxide ratio and operating temperature on the carbon dioxide conversion and methane yield of the methanation are also studied. The simulation results from the thermodynamic analysis show that the methane yield of the methanation from waste gases is 3.11 - 4.61 % higher than that from pure carbon dioxide in the temperature range of 300 - 500 °C. The methane yield of the methanation process decreases with increasing temperature. The increase in the hydrogen to carbon dioxide ratio of 1 to 4 and the operating pressure of 1 to 8 bar have a significant effect on the enhancement of carbon dioxide conversion and methane yield. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Modeling and optimization of proton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cell: Conversion of CO2 into value-added products(2016-11-01) ;Namwong, Lawit ;Authayanun, Suthida ;Saebea, Dang; Arpornwichanop, AmornchaiProton-conducting solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC-H<sup>+</sup>) are a promising technology that can utilize carbon dioxide to produce syngas. In this work, a detailed electrochemical model was developed to predict the behavior of SOEC-H<sup>+</sup> and to prove the assumption that the syngas is produced through a reversible water gas-shift (RWGS) reaction. The simulation results obtained from the model, which took into account all of the cell voltage losses (i.e., ohmic, activation, and concentration losses), were validated using experimental data to evaluate the unknown parameters. The developed model was employed to examine the structural and operational parameters. It is found that the cathode-supported SOEC-H<sup>+</sup> is the best configuration because it requires the lowest cell potential. SOEC-H<sup>+</sup> operated favorably at high temperatures and low pressures. Furthermore, the simulation results revealed that the optimal S/C molar ratio for syngas production, which can be used for methanol synthesis, is approximately 3.9 (at a constant temperature and pressure). The SOEC-H<sup>+</sup> was optimized using a response surface methodology, which was used to determine the optimal operating conditions to minimize the cell potential and maximize the carbon dioxide flow rate. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of anode-cathode exhaust gas recirculation on energy recuperation in a solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine hybrid power system(2016-01-01) ;Saebea, Dang ;Authayanun, Suthida; Arpornwichanop, AmornchaiA solid oxide fuel cell-gas turbine (SOFC-GT) hybrid system supplying liquid fuel as ethanol exhibits promise as an auxiliary power unit. In this study, the recirculation of anode and cathode exhaust gas in the SOFC-GT system is proposed to improve the efficiency of heat management in the SOFC-GT hybrid system. The key operating parameters, such as fuel utilization factor and the cell and GT temperatures, are analyzed in terms of the performance of the SOFC-GT hybrid systems. The simulation results show that the recirculation of anode and cathode exhaust gas has a direct impact on the turbine performance. To maintain the inlet temperature of the small turbine in the range of 873-1223 K, the amount of fuel and air added to the combustor to control the turbine inlet temperature on the system performance is also investigated. A SOFC-GT hybrid system with both anode and cathode exhaust gas recirculation achieves the highest system and thermal efficiency. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Exergoeconomics of hydrogen production from biomass air-steam gasification with methane co-feeding(2017-01-01) ;Nakyai, Teeranun ;Authayanun, Suthida; ;Arpornwichanop, AmornchaiAssabumrungrat, SuttichaiBiomass is one of the most promising energy sources for hydrogen production. However, biomass gasification has a low hydrogen content in the producer gas. To increase the hydrogen yield, the co-feeding of methane into biomass gasification is proposed in this study. The type of gasifying agent is a key factor in the determination of the content of the hydrogen product. To compare the designs and find the best performance criteria of a process, not only energy and exergy analyses but also a cost analysis of the process should be investigated. In the present study, the effects of various types of gasifying agent, i.e., air and both steam and air, for the biomass gasification with/without methane co-feeding are investigated through an exergoeconomic analysis. It is observed that the air-steam used as an agent achieves high energy and exergy efficiency. Methane co-feeding can improve the energy and exergy efficiency. In exergoeconomic analysis, the specific exergy cost (SPECO) method is applied to investigate the unit cost of hydrogen. The economic reveal that the biomass gasification using air-steam as an agent with methane co-feeding also presented the lowest unit hydrogen cost of 2.69 $/kg. The unit exergy cost of hydrogen is 0.068 $/kW h. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Optimization of hydrogen production from three reforming approaches of glycerol via using supercritical water with in situ CO2 separation(2019-01-22); ;Chatrattanawet, Narissara ;Arpornwichanop, AmornchaiAssabumrungrat, SuttichaiA pathway for hydrogen production from supercritical water reforming of glycerol integrated with in situ CO<inf>2</inf> removal was proposed and analyzed. The thermodynamic analysis carried out by the minimizing Gibbs free energy method of three glycerol reforming processes for hydrogen production was investigated in terms of equilibrium compositions and energy consumption using AspenPlus™ simulator. The effect of operating condition, i.e., temperature, pressure, steam to glycerol (S/G) ratio, calcium oxide to glycerol (CaO/G) ratio, air to glycerol (A/G) ratio, and nickel oxide to glycerol (NiO/G) ratio on the hydrogen production was investigated. The optimum operating conditions under maximum H<inf>2</inf> production were predicted at 450 °C (only steam reforming), 400 °C (for autothermal reforming and chemical looping reforming), 240 atm, S/G ratio of 40, CaO/G ratio of 2.5, A/G ratio of 1 (for autothermal reforming), and NiO/G ratio of 1 (for chemical looping reforming). Compared to three reforming processes, the steam reforming obtained the highest hydrogen purity and yield. Moreover, it was found that only autothermal reforming and chemical looping reforming were possible to operate under the thermal self-sufficient condition, which the hydrogen purity of chemical looping reforming (92.14%) was higher than that of autothermal reforming (52.98%). Under both the maximum H<inf>2</inf> production and thermal self-sufficient conditions, the amount of CO was found below 50 ppm for all reforming processes.
