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

may be needed.

Gasifier does not release gas to


the atmosphere.
Air Combustion in user equipments
(connected to gasifier) is much
cleaner compared to liquid fuels.

Biogas
Ankur Scientific Energy Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

What is a Biogas Plant

 Basically Methane & CO2 Gas Producer.


 Methane – Odorless, Colorless, Good Calorific Value,
Green House Gas
 Sources : Animal Manures, excreta, kitchen waste,
Industrial Chemical Processes, Sea Water Bed, etc.
 Animal Manure & Excreta contributes around 16 % of the
total global methane emission.
