Metodologie sperimentali di ottimizzazione dei processi di gassificazione di biomasse

Abstract

This Publication illustrates the Experimental Methodologies used mostly to optimize processes, such as: - Factorial Plans Methodology; - Robust Design, due to G. Taguchi, finalized to optimize processes and designs by defining the Signal to Noise ratio (S/N); - Response Surface Methods, also applied in Dual Response Systems (DRS) problems characterized by the dual Target of optimizing both Medium Response and Variability. Gasification of Biomass Residues is an important Energy source both for economical and environmental reasons. It’s illustrated a Gasification Multireactor plant designed and built in Gallese, a little town close to Viterbo, whose Patent belongs to Dr. Alessandro Mariani, a Mechanical Engineer, and Angelo Mariani. The aim of this Publication is elaborating an Optimizing Experimental Strategy of Gasification Multireactor’s process, treated as a (DRS). NIMBUS software, freely available on the web at http://www.nimbus.mit.jyu.fi is the algorithm used to get the optimal parameters’ values.
