Due to lack of available information in the open journal on refinery sludge gasification using updraft gasifier, an evaluate for its optimum conditions on gasification is presented in this paper. For this purpose a Taguchi Orthogonal array design, statistical software is applied to find optimum conditions for DRS gasification. The goal is to identify the most significant process variable in DRS gasification conditions. The process variables include; oxidation zone temperature, equivalent ratio, operating pressure will be simulated and examined. Attention was focused on the effect of optimum operating conditions on the gas composition of H2 and CO (desirable) and CO2 (undesirable) in terms of mass fraction. From our results and finding it can be concluded that the syngas (H2 & CO) yield in term of mass fraction favors high oxidation zone temperature and at atmospheric pressure while CO2 acid gas favor at a high level of equivalent ratio as well as air flow rate favoring towards complete combustion. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. date: 2013 publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84881087966&doi=10.1088%2f1755-1315%2f16%2f1%2f012068&partnerID=40&md5=527aef0f0d705d5da2ba5cadc17b58c9 id_number: 10.1088/1755-1315/16/1/012068 full_text_status: none publication: IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science volume: 16 number: 1 place_of_pub: Beijing refereed: TRUE issn: 17551307 citation: Ahmed, R. and Sinnathambi, C.M.
