TOMORROWS TECHNOLOGY BEING DEVELOPED TODAY AS ULTIMATE SOLUTION OF GLOBAL ENERGY CRISIS |
|
This is an innovative technology fo fuel switching to convert solid fuel into gaseous fuel before the same is being used.
This process involves technology of thermo chemical conversion of Biomass into a combustible gas.
This gas can be used for generation of electrical power as well as Thermal Energy for application in Industries and other fields.

We are first in India to develop Rice Husk based gasification Plant. In this process solid biomass, a carbonaceous fuel is fed mechanically into a Gas Generator, which is embedded on a water lute in air-tight condition. Firing takes place here with supply of controlled air to occur partial combustion for generation of a combustible gas called Producer Gas. Ash drops on water and being taken out in form of cinder at regular interval. For thermal application, this gas is passed through a dust catcher to arrest dust particles before burning the same with a gas burner. To produce electrical power from gas generator, gas is passed through the gas water where gas travels from bottom to top against vertical water sprayingfrom top to clean the gas as well as to bring down is sent to the exhauster to separate tar from the gas centrifugally and finally to dry scrubber, where again gas is passed through filter beds for removal fo carried over particles and finally settle in gas holder. A modified diesel generating set runs with dual fuel arrangement of 70%-80% clean producer gas and 20%-30% diesel oil to generate electrical power. The same engine can be switched over within 10 seconds as diesel gen-set just be operating a knob during non-available period of requisite producer gas.

BIOMASS FUEL |
|
Beside rice husk, wood refuse, saw dust, wood bark or any other agro waste / residue palm nutshell, sunflower seed husk, ground nutshell, coconut shell, corn cob etc., may be utilised as an alternative fuel. |

SALIENT FEATURES
|
- 1 kg. of ricehusk may generate 1.80-1.85 Nm3 of gas with heat value of 1200 k. Cal/Nm3
- Maximum 70%-80% diesel oil can be replaced in the existing DG set depending upon its condition.
- Thermal efficiency is as high as 72%-75%.
- Exhaust gas from engine is clean and free from any toxic matter available at 525°C, can be used for any process heat.
- Hot water at 60°C from water to water heat exchanger of the engine (recycle engine water) is available for any industrial application.
- Tar as a by-product available@1/1.5% of the total husk burnt.
