N2 - This paper investigates the integration of biosyngas production, reheating furnace and heat recovery steam cycle, in order to use biosyngas directly as fuel in the furnace. A system model was developed to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed system from the perspective of heat and mass balance. To particularly study the impacts of fuel switching on the heating quality of the furnace, a three-dimensional furnace model considering detailed heat transfer processes was embedded into the system through an Aspen PlusTM user defined model. The simulation results show that biosyngas is suitable for direct use as fuel for reheating furnaces. Should CO2 capture be considered in the proposed system, it has a potential to achieve the capture without external energy input which results in so-called negative emissions of CO2.
