At analyzed conditions, this study showed that using the
Itaúba waste resulting in a gas with heating value ≤ 5 MJ
Nm
-3
we observe that:
1) The use of gasification gas with diesel has shown a
30.7% reduction on the fuel consumption;
2) The operation ratio with the lowest specific
consumption is limited between 1.5 kW and 4 kW, and
the best operation point is 3.5 kW;
3) It was observed an improvement in the adjustment of
the voltage parameters and the maximum current of
generator, with a significant increase at the maximum
power with a raise of 43.8%;
4) A savings of R$ 0.86 for each kWh
-1
for a load of
3.5 kW was verified.
These results show the possibility of using the
gasification biomass on the diesel consume reduction to
generate electrical energy to the isolated communities.
