Technoeconomic analysis of a waste tire to liquefied synthetic natural gas (SNG) energy system
Open accessAbstract
Abstract Thermochemical conversion of solid wastes through gasification offers the dual benefit of production of high-value fuels and environmentally friendly waste disposal. In this paper, we propose a novel process for production of liquefied synthetic natural gas (SNG) from waste tires via a rotary kiln gasification process. We use a combination of experimental data available in the open literature, first principles mathematical models and empirical models to study three design cases (without CO 2 Capture and Sequestration (CCS), with precombustion CCS and with pre- and postcombustion CCS) in two locations (USA and Norway). The thermodynamic, economic and environmental performance of the concept is studied. The results show that minimum selling prices of 16.7, 17.5 and 19.9 $/GJLHV,SNG are required for USA and 20.9, 21.8 and 24.9 $/GJLHV,SNG for Norway. We note that these prices may become competitive under certain regulatory conditions (such as recent public policy movement in British Columbia, Canada requiring public utilities to purchase natural gas made from renewables at prices up to 30 $/GJLHV,SNG). The minimum selling price reduces substantially with process scale and with levying tipping fees. The design situated in Norway with both pre- and post-combustion CCS has near zero direct and indirect CO 2 emissions.

“The two principal technological approaches to waste tire gasification are conventional thermal gasification, which includes various reactor designs like fixed beds, fluidized beds, and entrained flow systems, and plasma gasification, which utilizes extremely high temperatures generated by plasma torches [364,370].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
