Gasification is a versatile thermochemical process for solid waste fuel conversion. In the current paper, syngas production from palm kernel shell (PKS) and polyethylene waste blend in a catalytic steam gasification process is studied. In order to acquire the optimum condition of syngas production, the effect of main variables such as reaction temperature, steam/feedstock (S/F) ratio, polyethylene waste/biomass (P/B) ratio on syngas production was investigated and optimized via Taguchi design of experiment approach. Under the optimized condition of 800{\^A}oC, P/B ratio: 0.3 w/w and S/F ratio: 1 w/w, the total syngas yield and hydrogen yield achieved are 422.40g syngas/kg feedstock and 135.27g H2/kg feedstock, respectively. {\^A}{\copyright} 2014 Elsevier Ltd.}, keywords = {Biomass; Design of experiments; Feedstocks; Fluidization; Fluidized bed process; Fluidized beds; Fossil fuel deposits; Gasification; Hydrogen; Hydrogen production; Polyethylenes, Catalytic steam gasifications; Energy; Energy from renewable sources; Fossil fuel resources; Optimized conditions; Syn-gas; Taguchi design of experiment; Thermo chemical process, Synthesis gas, catalysis; energy efficiency; gas production; optimization; reaction kinetics; temperature effect; thermochemistry; waste management}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84908059815&doi=10.1016\%2fj.energy.2014.04.062&partnerID=40&md5=1db86a7ebcf0db8bc1e3dd8c8bafc432} }
