Gasification

Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

What is Biomass Gasification?

Basic Process Chemistry
Conversion of solid fuels into combustible gas mixture called
producer gas (CO + H2 + CH4)
Involves partial combustion of biomass
Four distinct process in the gasifier viz.
Drying
Pyrolysis
Combustion
Reduction
