The use of renewable energy resources is
broadly increasing for power generation, so the engine
quality producer gas which comes from gasifier must be
evaluated for engine applications. The Internal Combustion
Engine (ICE) generates electricity for lighting & other end
uses. The system consists of a gasifier coupled with ventury
scrubber, coarse filter filled with wood chips; two fine filters
filled with saw dust and one security fabric filter. The gases
produced are cooled in water scrubber and then tar is
re moved in subsequent filters and gases are supplied to
Spark Ignition Engine for operating AC Generator set. The
unit is tested with resistive loading, which increases
gradually from 20 %, 40 %, 60 %, 80 % & 100%. The cold
and hot gasification efficiencies are 75.41% & 80.85 %
respectively. The biomass consumption rate is 27kg/h. The
air and gas flow rate are measured 20.79 m3/h and 79m3/h
respectively.The temperature above the grate is 603℃. The
tar level after gas cooling and cleaning unit is counted 9
mg/Nm3.
