Agenda<br />

• Biomass as a Fuel<br />

• What is Gasification<br />

• Why Gasification<br />

• Gasification for Power Generation<br />

– Modes of Power Generation<br />

– Ratings<br />

• Case Studies<br />

• Questions


<strong>Ankur</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> <strong>Pvt</strong>. <strong>Ltd</strong>.<br />

Biomass as a Fuel<br />

• Age-old and most widely used fuel source<br />

• Largest contributor for primary energy,<br />

especially in rural areas<br />

• Biomass till date was mainly used for<br />

cooking<br />

• With recent technology development,<br />

providing power has become feasible and<br />

cost effective


<strong>Ankur</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> <strong>Pvt</strong>. <strong>Ltd</strong>.<br />

What is Gasification?<br />

Basic Process Chemistry<br />

• Conversion of solid fuels into combustible gas mixture<br />

called producer gas (CO + H 2 + CH 4 )<br />

• Involves partial combustion of biomass<br />

• Four distinct process in the gasifier viz.<br />

• Drying<br />

• Pyrolysis<br />

• Combustion<br />

• Reduction

Power Generation<br />

Dual Fuel Mode:<br />

70% energy – Biomass<br />

30% energy - Liquid Fuels<br />

The liquid fuel may be<br />

diesel or bio-diesel<br />

(wherever it is available)<br />

100% Producer Gas based<br />

systems:<br />

100% energy from Biomass.<br />

Very low fuel cost of power<br />

generation


<strong>Ankur</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> <strong>Pvt</strong>. <strong>Ltd</strong>.<br />

Dual Fuel Mode<br />

• Output ratings of 3 kWe to 1 MW are commercially<br />

available<br />

• Specific fuel consumption - less than 1 kg wood or<br />

1.4 kg rice husk along with up to 90 cc of diesel<br />

• Wide turn down ratio resulting in excellent variable<br />

load capability<br />

• Large number of installations in industry as also for<br />

rural electrification


<strong>Ankur</strong> <strong>Scientific</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Technologies</strong> <strong>Pvt</strong>. <strong>Ltd</strong>.<br />

100% Producer Gas Mode<br />

• Output ratings of less than 10 kWe and more<br />

than 40 kWe are commercially available<br />

• Ratings between 10 & 40 kWe would be available<br />

shortly<br />

• Limited start-up power for a short period<br />

• Specific wood consumption of less than 1.3<br />

kg/kWhr<br />

• Wide turn down ratio resulting in excellent<br />

variable load capability
