Experimental Analysis of Biomass Mixtures in Self Circulating Fluidized Bed Biomass Gasifier

Abstract

The main aim of this project is  to design and fabricate   a self circulating fluidized bed  biomass gasifier in order to carry out cold flow analysis of various biomasses individually and also with different combination like rice husk, groundnut shell, coir pith,  sugarcane  baggase and  saw dust etc… for determining fuel flow rate and air flow rate in the proposed system. Here the fuel feeding system is eliminated and the biomass is brought down by gravity using self circulating arrangement. Proximate analysis of individual biomass and its mixtures were carried out for selecting the combination of mixture before using it for gasification. This system can be used for biomass gasification using self circulating FBG arrangement.
