There are a large number of different feedstock types for use in gasifier, each with different characteristics, including size, shape, bulk density, moisture content, energy content, chemical composition, ash fusion characteristics, and homogeneity of all these properties. A wide variety of feedstocks can be gasified: Wood pellets and chips, Waste wood, Plastics and aluminium, Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Refuse-derived fuel (RDF), Agricultural and industrial wastes, Sewage sludge, Switch grass, Discarded seed corn, corn stover Other crop residues

Gasification Fermentation
Short Description Clean & Scientific operation of landfill sites in order to reduce pollution MSW with/without processing/refining is burnt to produce electricity or for heating purposes, thus reducing 90% of the volume Conversion of organic matter from MSW to fertilisers Bio-degradable waste of organic or vegetable origin processed through anaerobic digestion to produce a mixture of methane & carbon dioxide
Incineration
Limitations Green waste is not supposed to go the sanitary landfill Cost of infrastructure & operating cost is very high High moisture content in MSW is a problem Heating value varies over considerable range, since segregation is not done Land requirement for treatment is very high Additional cost of transportation of end product is very high Segregation of MSW is a must for the option Project experiences in Pune & Lucknow have proved to have produce low yield of methane

Waste management services are typically divided into a few distinctive functions like primary collection, secondary collection, treatment or processing and disposal. Present processing system mainly consists of recovery of recyclable materials and composting of the balance for disposal The key design feature required for the recovery of reasonable quality of fuel is the proper use of a screening operation in the sequence of processing.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process similar in many ways to composting. It is a natural treatment process and, as in composting, bacteria break down organic matter and reduce its bulk or mass.
Less energy required Less biological sludge produced Lower nutrient demand Methane production: Providing potential energy source with possible revenue both from sale of the energy, and benefit from government tax, and (Kyoto agreement) CDM etc. payments arising from renewable fuels/non-fossil fuel incentives Methane production: Anaerobic digestion contributes to reducing greenhouse gases by reducing demand for fossil fuels Smaller reactor volume required Biomass acclimatisation allows most organic compounds to be transformed Rapid response to substrate addition after long periods without feeding End product can be potentially saleable products biogas, soil conditioner and a liquid fertiliser. Process more effectively provides sanitisation/removal of diseases.
Longer start-up time to develop necessary biomass inventory May require alkalinity and/or specific ion addition May require further treatment with an aerobic treatment process to meet discharge requirements Biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal is not possible Much more sensitive to the adverse effect of lower temperatures on reaction rates May need heating (often by utilisation of process gas) to achieve adequate reaction rates May be more less stable after toxic shock(eg after upsets due to toxic substances in the feed) Increased potential for production of odours and corrosive gases. Hazards arise from explosion Anaerobic treatment is not effective for treatment of methanogenic landfill leachate, it may (rarely) be efficacious for the early stage leachate production period while the waste is still acetogenic.
