Thermodynamic investigation of the hydrogen production by steam reforming of the biogas from manipueira

The use of renewable energy has become a necessary alternative to reduce the emission of polluting gases in the atmosphere. Hydrogen is a promising alternative fuel and its use has increased in the last decade. There are different ways of producing hydrogen, however there are few reports in the literature on the production of biohydrogen using waste water from the processing of cassava (manipueira). This study discusses the exergetic efficiency of the biohydrogen production using a large factory production plant using the HYSYS process simulation software (version 8.0).
