Overview

  • Gasification is a process converting solid/ liquid fuel into a gaseous fuel without leaving any solid carbonaceous residue.

  •  It is one of the important conversions that can be effectively utilized for decentralized power generation and thermal applications

  • Abundant quantities of agricultural wastes like rice husk, bagasse (sugar cane waste), coconut husk, cereal straw etc. are produced world wide every year and they are as of now under utilized. The major portion of these wastes undergoes natural decomposition resulting in production of various green house gases and other environmental problems

  • Biomass gasification is one of the upcoming biomass conversion technologies developed to produce a combustible gas mixture (called producer gas) using agro residues

Technology

  • Gasifier is an equipment which can gasify a variety of biomass such as wood waste, agricultural waste (like stalks and roots of various crops) maize cobs etc. The gasifier is essentially a chemical reactor where various complex physical and chemical processes take place that include drying ,heating , pyrolysing, partial oxidation & finally reduction as it flows through it. The resultant gas,-known as producer gas- contains  mainly  Hydrogen   ( 18 –   20 % ) and CO ( 18 – 24 % ) .

  • This producer gas can be used by direct combustion route for cooking purposes and as fuel in IC engines for producing Power.
