Abstract
In this research, the design and simulation of a carbon gasifier with carbon dioxide capture to obtain hydrogen was carried out using Aspen HYSYS version 9.0 software. For this study, it was used anthracitic and bituminous coal as raw material from different regions of Colombia. The characteristics of the coal, as well as the conditions of the other feed streams to the reactor, affect the final conditions of the product gas in the simulation. Once the sensitivity analysis started in the simulator, it was possible to observe the behavior of these variables, that were the feeding conditions, where the operation intervals for the process could be set. These results obtained are theoretically feasible and can be used as a basis for real cases in the energy industry since Colombia currently has one of the largest coal reserves in Latin America.
