Pyrolysis and Gasification Process Library

Overview
77 Available Units
Example Projects

The Pyrolysis and Gasification Process Library (PGP_Lib) is focused on the design and analysis of Biomass Gasification Plants. Since its development, it has been extensively tested and applied to actual operating biomass-fueled plants.

Using PGP_Lib, you can model biomass conversion systems and technologies, including combustion, pyrolysis, gasification and gas cleanup applications. Unit models are included for key biomass process equipment, including combustors, gasifiers, gas oxidation reactors, water quench units, scrubbers, steam reforming reactors, fuel dryers, compressors, condensers, gas engines, steam and gas turbines, heat exchangers, pipes, pumps, and other key process equipment.
