Performance Analysis of the Constructed Updraft Biomass Gasifier for Three Different Biomass Fuels
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
Gasification is the process in which a solid carbonaceous fuel is converted into combustible gas using partial amount of air. The gases which evolve are known as “producer gas”. This gas is more suitable than the direct combustion of biomass. In this paper an updraft gasifier is constructed and is used to carry out the experiment. The waste material like bagasse (sugarcane waste), coconut shells and wood particles are used for the generation of producer gas. The sense of this paper is to study the effect of waste products in form of biomass. The performance of the gasifier is evaluated in terms of zone temperature with different air velocity. By taking the different fuels and varying the air flow rate the temperature of the zones are analyzed. The gas composition is not considered. The arrangement of tar is also seen in this apparatus. After analysis it is found that the coconut shell having maximum temperature for all three zones as compare to other two so coconut shell is the best suitable material for this gasifier
