Biomass Gasifier

INNOVATOR 1 :Dr. SUDHIR PULORIA

PRESENTED BY: INDIRA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT,PUNE

OVERVIEW Biomass is basically an organic material,

which includes wood, crop residues, solid waste, animal wastes, sewage, and waste from food processing

Biomass gasifier benefits rural poor and the industrial sector on regular basis and is understood easily by every day users, whether it is a Farm or House, Hospital or a Clinic or a Factory

WHAT IS BIOMASS GASIFIER Biomass Gasifier is a thermo-chemical

reactor where Biomass gasification takes place which is a conversion of solid fuels (Wood & Agricultural waste etc) into a combustible gas mixture normally called "Producer gas".

INVENTION OF DR.SUDHIR PULORIA

Product: Biomass Gasifier Range: Rs.3000 – Rs.15000 Types:

Simple natural gasifier Forced draft

Simple Natural Gasifier Price: Rs 8000 Pay Back Period: 100 days Wood consumption : Very high Smoke/Fume: Very high Fuel used: Agro based ( Cotton, soya

husk)

Forced Draft Price: Rs 15000 Pay back period: 60 days Wood consumption: Less as compared to

simple natural gasifier Characteristics:

more systematic ash removal system from down works on ac blower where primary

and secondary combustion takes place

ADVANTAGES These systems basically convert woody

biomass /agricultural wastes like rice-husk, coconut waste etc into a combustible gas which can be used in a number of ways:

1. Burnt like a convenient gaseous fuel through appropriate burners in case of thermal applications.

2. Fed into gasoline engines (S.I. Engines) to replace gasoline etc.

CHALLENGES Availability of land Construction Collection of agro waste for the

production Viable only in the rural areas where

ample raw material is available

OPPORTUNITIES IDENTIFIED In villages- this model can be substituted in

the aata chakki shops In Naxalite area the power supply is absent.

Hence, government can subsidize the gram panchayat to have this model as a substitute for the generators which are expensive

It can replace fuels like:1. Coal2. Kerosene3. Electricity

USP Uses natural resource like solar energy-

saving energy and cost Uses machinery parts available in the

rural market

PROJECT FUTURE Future is bright as the natural resources

are depleting at a faster pace. Especially coal and hence it can be substituted

Also, electricity demand is high and the supply is comparatively low. Thus, this model can help in fulfilling the difference in demand and supply

Benefits to the society Offers a sustainable option to all the

rural people because they can run the gasifier and all the farm waste

Nowadays all the farmers burn their farm grasses to clean it for the next use

So 1 acre of farm land waste can sustain 50 families
