Abstract: An analytic hierarchy process-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method (AHP-FCE) based on exergy analysis is proposed to evaluate the rural solid waste fixed-bed gasification process. The influence of gasification temperature, equivalence ratio (ER) and gasification agent on the gasification evaluation score are studied. Firstly, the exergy efficiency of gasification system is calculated by exergy analysis. Secondly, the AHP method is used to establish the optimal gasification process model, and the weight of the selected evaluation indexes is determined. The evaluation indexes include exergy efficiency, gas production rate, lower heating value (LHV) of producer gas, greenhouse gas emissions and waste residue emissions. Finally, the priority ranking of different gasification processes is obtained by the FCE method. The results show that when the gasification temperature is 1,000°C and the ER is 0.35, the gasification score is the highest. The oxygen/steam gasification is better than steam gasification and air gasification.
