Biomass Gasification

Sustainable Renewable Energy for Cambodian Rice Mills, Brick

& Tile Factories, Ice Making Enterprises and Manufacturing

What is Biomass Gasification ?Conversion of organic materials into

combustible gas mixture called SYN Gas or Producer Gas.

Involves partial combustion of biomassFour distinct processes occur in the

Gasifier as illustrated below:* Organic materials are living

organisms from plants and animals.

The Gasification Process

1. DryingRemoval of Water with Heat

2. PyrolysisDecomposition with heat

3. CombustionProcess of Burning/oxidation

4. ReductionOxygen lost and Hydrogen added

Biomass Gasifiers SystemSize and Capacity

CAPACITY of BIOMASS GASIFIERS

1. Using Rice Husk Fuel = FBG Type Gasifier

2. Using Woody Fuel = WBG Type Gasifier

3. Using Rice Husk and Woody Fuel = COMBO Gasifier

ANKUR Model Sizes FBG : 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 500, 600, 700, 850

The Largest Size “ANKUR” Type Rice Husk Gasifier is FBG 850

How to Calculate the Size A Gasifier Running in Dual Fuel Mode. ( 30% Diesel and 70% Syngas)

Biomass Capacity Table for ANKUR Gasifiers

1. FBG 100 = 120 kg husk per hour

2. FBG 150 = 180 kg husk per hour

3. FBG 200 = 240 kg husk per hour

4. FBG 300 = 360 kg husk per hour

5. FBG 400 = 480 kg husk per hour

6. FBG 500 = 600 kg husk per hour

7. FBG 600 = 720 kg husk per hour

8. FBG 700 = 840 kg husk per hour

9. FBG 850 = 1,020 kg husk per hour
