IT’S KINEMATICS.
WHAT IS BIOMASS??
Material is reacted at
With Presence of
high Temp. (>700
Controlled amount of
degrees of Temp)
O2 or Steam.
Gasification &
Resulting Gas mixture Combustion of
is called ‘SYNGAS’. Resultant Gas is the
OR PRODUCER GAS source of Renewable
Energy.
-We will be dealing with different processes like Oxidation , Drying, Pyrolysis &
Reduction.
-The Biomass Gasification is usually done In Gasifiers Which We’ll Study later
on in next Presentation.
-Steam Reforming & WGS Reaction is to be Discussed.
-Brief OVERVIEW:
Gas Phase- Syngas With LHV = 13 MJ/Kg
Light (ethane, propane) & Heavy(Tar) Hydrocarbons
Undesirable H2S & HCl
Compositions Depends on Biomass treated
LHV Depends on Feedstock & Gasifier Operational Conditions
DRYING
-Endothermic
-Completes If Reached 150 degrees Biomass
Temp.
-Released Water Vapour is used in Other Stages.
PYROLYSIS
SOLID Fraction is 5-10 % for fluidized bed gasifiers & 20-25 % of Fixed Bed gasifiers
LIQUID Fraction is 1% for Downdraft , Upto 5% for Fluidized Bed & 10-20% For Updraft
Gasifiers.
REDUCTION:
-Sour Shifting uses Co-Mo Catalyst to convert COS(organic sulfur) into H2S
-Sweet Shifting can be at lower or higher Temp. as:
OPERATING CONDITION OF GASIFIERS:
1. ER(Equivalence Ratio):
Ratio of Actual air flow to Stoichiometric air flow for biomass
combustion.
Indicates extent of partial combustion & controls Gasification
temp.(higher the flow greater the Temp.)
ER from .2 - .5 increases Gas yield
2. Superficial Velocity(m/sec) : Air Flow rate to the gasifier
crossection(m3/m2sec) & it affects the gasifying time.
3. S/B : Steam to Biomass ratio & higher is this ,Higher is Biomass
conversion efficiency & Tar formation is reduced.
Also WGS & Methane Reforming reactions are favoured
4. H/C ratio: Increase in it from 1.6 to 2.2 ,H2Content & LHV increases
& affects Tar formation.
DOWNSTREAM PROCESSING:
- It’s a removal process & is last stage of gasification.
-Components to Focus:TAR
PARTICULATES
ALKALI COMPOUNDS( CaO K2O etc.)
