Charachaiqization of biomass under study is conducted prior to the gasification experiments. Results obtained with gasification of saw dust briquettes are compared with the gasification of wood chips. 2. MAhaiqiAL AND METHODOLOGY

Tars are one group of haiqi compounds present in the producer gas via biomass gasification (especially lignocellulosics such as wood chips and pellets). During the gasification process, tar compounds are formed by thermal degradation and conversions of the main components of wood, i.e. cellulose

gasifier (EK-gasifier) had been gased wood chips, with a humidity of over 40%. VAPOR`s Typical values of gasification parameters gasifier can use as wet fuel also. In general, the studies used to dry the fuel (moisture less as 20%). Moist fuel gasification has been studied considerably less. Moist fuel is expected to conduct themselves as well

For the design here, GH max as been assumed to be 0.9 and the rated power of 3.5 hp is assumed to be obtainable at a GH rated of 0.8 Nm3/h cm2 [12,13] Design and Development of Down Draft Wood Gasifier 5 Specfic Fuel Consumption This is computed from the formula: Specific fuel consumption, (SFC) (kg/hp- hr) = 632/ηen* ηmot*cvw [14] ηen - 0

IV. Biomass for gasification Wood chips and mustard oil cake, is used as a feed stock for gasification. It is a renewable source of energy and easily accessible at great extent. Wood chips can be collected from furniture shop, and it is one kind of waste for shop keeper and they used to through it as it is.

Downdraft gasification is much like updraft gasification; it involves a similar setup that contains high temperature regions (anywhere around 700-1000°C) that will convert the fuel of the process to syngas. The feed for the process of gasification can be many things, such as coal, pelletized mahaiqial, wood chips, etc.

producer gas which in turn prefer down-draft gasifier, as down-draft gasifier generally produce low particulate and low-tar gas. This study was carried out to study the effects of throat diameter and air-fuel ratio on the gasifier performance. Further the study aimed at identifying practical difficulties on the operation of downdraft gasifiers.

ation temperature and pressure) and gasifier design [4,5,8]. Depending on the direction of biomass and producer gas/syngas flow in the gasifier, fixed-bed gasifiers can be generally categorized as updraft, downdraft and cross-draft [6,7,9]. Since the downdraft gasifier is in the focus of investigation, other types of

For this study, a fixed-bed, down-draft gasifier was designed to investigate the effect of a dolomite catalytic bedon tar removal. Pine pellets and wood chips (cypress) were used to produce syngas

Present work is an attempt to muffle furnace (Make: Lab Tech). Table 1 presents the study the feasibility of spherical shape saw dust proximate analysis data for the wood chips and briquette in a 5 kW down draft gasifier and evaluate briquette. thermal behavior of gasifier along with the gas and tar yield.

simulation model for down draft waste biomass gasification was developed. The model that is stoichiometric equilibrium-based is proposed to be used for optimization of the gasifier performance. Prediction accuracy of the model is validated by comparing with available experimental and modeling results in other literature.
