Abstract: This work aims to develop a modified chemical equilibrium model to accurately determine the syngas (synthesis gas) composition obtained from fluidized bed gasifiers. In order to do so, an optimization method was applied to determine the correction factors which modify the chemical equilibrium constants, the carbon conversion efficiency and the enthalpy of reaction. The gasification agents considered for this study were: air, steam, air–steam, and air–steam–oxygen. The optimization method used the Kuhn–Tucker multipliers to obtain small RMS errors.
