The gasifier is basically a chemical reactor where biomass gets dried, heated, pyrolyzed, patialy oxidized and reduced. In gasification the combustion is carried out at sub stoichiometric conditions ( starvation of air ) to a fuel ratio of 1.5 : 1 to 1.8: 1. The gas obtained is called syngas or producer gas. The average composition is CO 20%, CH4 3%, H2 20%, CO2 12%, N2 54%.
Thermal energy in the order of 4.5 to 5.0 MJ is released by firing 1m3 of syngas. Depending on the system that we supply you 1.4 to 1.8 kgs of dry fuel will give you 1KW of electric power.
With the spiraling prices of conventional fuels and the polution levels of today , gasification is a true solution to your energy problems.
