    Research Summary

    Aero-thermochemistry for reactor design [PDF]

    The challenge in using biomass as fuel for gasification has been to generate consistent gas quality with low tar and also accept different types of biomass. This is related to the aero-thermochemistry aspects in the reactor design. Tar can be removed by enhancing the residence time of gas in the reactor maintained at high temperature (1000 – 1200 K) to improve the conversion of higher molecular weight compounds to lower molecular weight compounds. The novel reactor geometry designed earlier has been further researched to establish air mass flux for reactor design and also to accept agro residues whose ash content can vary. the main scientific consideration for such an intervention is the operating air mass flux, which has a dual role to play.

  • Minimum flux to ensure the propagation rate for higher gas residence times for helping thermal cracking of tar inside the reactor,
  • The upper limit of air mass flux that has an influence on the thermal environment, leading to ash fusion.

    • Particle size and its influence on gasification

    Pyrolysis, a diffusion process depends on the heating rate and thus the surface area of the particle is important. Experimental results on tar content in the raw hot gas were compared with wood flakes and standard wood pieces as fuel. The ratio of surface area to equivalent diameter is two times higher for flakes compared with wood pieces. It is clear that tar is about 80 % higher in the case of wood flakes compared with standard wood pieces. The analysis suggests that the time for pyrolysis is lower with a high surface area particle and is subjected to fast pyrolysis rates resulting high tar fraction. Further, it has also been shown that the fixed bed closed top down draft system, the residence time is insufficient to crack the tar. Experiments and analysis provide scientific basis for the generation of high tar in fixed bed gasification system for small size wood pieces. The quality and quantity of tar generated depends on the heat flux on the exposed particle. Increasing the residence time helps in reducing the hot tar. The open top configuration has a better control on residence time due to the propagation front.

    Hydrogen rich syn-gas from biomass

    Thermochemical conversion of biomass has potential for producing renewable hydrogen. The research carried out has resulted in establishing the process parameters for generating hydrogen rich fuel gas using oxy-steam as reactants. Experimental investigation was carried out in an open-top downdraft gasifier with facility to use steam and oxygen as reactants with lower contaminants. The critical issues addressed in this study are related to optimizing the oxygen flow rate for ensuring the appropriate thermal conditions, i.e., temperature and residence time inside the reactor and also controlling the higher propagation rate with the use of oxygen compared to air in an open top down draft configuration.

    Producer gas engines

    The use of producer gas in an engine whose properties are different poses critical challenges in optimizing engine operating parameters, like carburetion, ignition timing, peak power and turbocharging. In the area of using producer gas as a fuel in engines, contributions made have been towards establishing producer gas engine power capacity from an existing natural gas engine. Research on the turbo-charging of engines using producer gas has suggested that optimization of the compressor and turbine is essential for the new fuel as most of them are designed for natural gas. Continuing the earlier work in the laboratory on adapting natural gas engines for producer gas, the research focus on specific areas in using producer as a fuel in reciprocating engines are highlighted below.

    Summarizing, the scientific contributions,

  • Adapting natural gas engine for producer gas with gas carburetion has been achieved.
  • In-cylinder process evaluation has resulted in establishing combustion descriptors like the position of peak pressure (PoPP) and position of 50% mass burn fraction (PoMBF50) that provide basis for MBT timing. These are independent parameters irrespective of the fuel used.
  • Preliminary investigation on the turbocharged producer gas engines has provided an insight towards optimizing the engine performance, which has serious implications on the engine cost per kW.
  • The work on dual fuel investigations has provided an understanding towards arriving at the limiting conditions for fuelling diesel engines with producer gas.

    • Overall impact on the scientific and technology contribution

    Technological impact

  • The scientific contribution towards fixed bed gasification has resulted in establishing a down draft reactor configuration for over 1 MW capacity (~ 1000 kg/hr) overcoming the limitation cited in the literature set at less than 500 kW. Further, this is the only unique reactor, designed to accept various agro residues as fuel thus ensuing multi-fuel capability. Further, the gas conditioning system comprising of scrubbers and the filter has made possible to have gaseous fuel with contaminant levels less than 10 mg/m3. This has resulted in over 100,000 engine operational hours.
  • Research in the area of producer gas engine has resulted in the availability of producer gas engine commercially in India.
  • Further both the scientific and technological superiority has resulted in technology transfer to developing and developed nations

    • Social impact

  • This technological intervention majorly industries have resulted in saving over 1000 tons of oil annually resulting in mitigating over 3000 tons of CO2. These have also resulted in providing direct employment over several hundreds of people.
  • The work on combustion stove has a significant societal impact. Over 500,000 stoves have been commercially sold which is highly efficient, thus improving the indoor emissions and also reduce the fuel consumption. Simple estimates suggests annual savings over 75 tons of oil equivalent. The scaled-up version has also replaced LPG in large scale kitchens.
