Abstract

In this global world, energy crisis is increasing day-by-day, but fulfilling of that energy by conventional energy generation produces pollution problem and it is also costly. The process of biomass gasification was carried out in a downdraft gasifier by using different biomass like neem wood, babul wood, coconut coir and sugarcane bagasse as feed materials. The product gas or syngas produced was studied by varying parameters like temperature of operation, the use of various feed material as the bed material in the downdraft gasifier by maintaining other parameters like equivalence ratio and cold gas, carbon conversion and thermal efficiency. The syngas produced was analyzed by doing a gas chromatography. This paper summarizes the research literature referred relative to the down draft gasification affected by the various parameters.Keywords: Producer gas, cleaning and cooling system, down draft gasifier, tar reductionCite this Article Mehul Patel.
