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

Air
Used in re-circulation mode with
zero discharge. Occasional ph
adjustment and simple treatment
may be needed.
Gasifier does not release gas to
the atmosphere.
Combustion in user equipments
(connected to gasifier) is much
cleaner compared to liquid fuels.

(contd.)
Charcoal can be sold as fuel.
Biological ash can be returned to
the soil.
In case of major user equipment
i.e. genset, noise level is lower
than with 100% liquid fuels.
Biomass materials contain negligible Sulphur

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.
