Master’s Thesis Proposal
This project focuses on an integrated system for producing renewable syngas from biomass through CO₂ reforming and pyrolysis, investigating its efficiency and carbon sequestration potential. Previous
research has developed steady-state Aspen Plus simulations to analyze process efficiency and performance. However, real-world applications require understanding how the system responds to dynamic variations in operating conditions.
This thesis aims to:
• Develop a dynamic model of the process in Aspen Plus Dynamics.
• Analyze the system’s response to variations in feedstock composition, flow rates, and other key parameters.
• Assess the stability and adaptability of the process under fluctuating conditions.
• Compare dynamic simulation results with previous steady-state findings to evaluate operational feasibility.
The ideal candidate should have a background in mechanical, chemical or process engineering, with experience or interest in Aspen Plus simulation. Familiarity with dynamic modeling and control strategies is advantageous but not required.
This project is part of EU-funded initiative aimed at producing syngas and biochar from biomass. The production of biochar not only enhances process efficiency but also serves as a fertilizer and a method for carbon sequestration, contributing to soil enrichment and long-term carbon storage. By optimizing dynamic process control, this work supports the broader transition toward sustainable energy solutions and circular economy principles.
