The research focuses on understanding implementation of multi-scale modeling
and simulation of biomass fast pyrolysis process. Lumped and detailed pyrolysis
kinetic models are proposed based on experimental and literature data validation.
The detailed kinetics is coupled with an engineering model of bubbling fluidized
bed reactor to predict pyrolysis gas and bio-oil composition. A simulation strategy
to fractionally condense major pyrolysis components into distinct chemical
families is proposed using ASPENPlus
