A complete gasifier system includes biomass charging equipment, the gasifier, gas cooling and cleaning system, and control system. The gasifier converts biomass fuel into producer gas. The fuel is batch loaded into gasifier using a bucket charger or inclined conveyor. The gas cooling and cleaning system captures tar and particulates in gas, leaving only a specified small proportion acceptable for the chosen application. The gasifier system is controlled by a PLC based control system that monitors the key system parameters, starts and shuts down the system, and regulates the flow of gas depending on the load to the burner or engine.

Two series of gasifier systems are available: WBG series running on coarse biomass (wood residue / waste in the form of chips, briquettes and pellets, sunflower and soybean hulls, corn cob, nut and coconut shells) and FBG series running on fine biomass (rice husk, mustard stalks). For applications requiring large volumes of producer gas, several gasifier systems can operate together feeding the same gas consuming unit.
 
WBG gasifier systems produce 200 to 5,000 Nm3 of producer gas per hour. Acceptable moisture content is less than 10% for briquettes and pellets and 20% or less for other types of biomass. Dryers can be used to meet humidity specifications if needed. The calorific value of producer gas is in excess of 4.8 MJ/ Nm3.  Three standard WBG gasifier system configurations are available, differing in the type of the cleaning system used and mode of operation:
  • Gasifier systems in the “hot gas” configuration are designed to produce hot gas for burning in a burner located close to the gasifier
  • Gasifier systems in the “scrubbed gas” configuration are designed to produce cool gas suitable for supply to a burner located at any distance from the gasifier
  • Gasifier systems in the “clean gas” configuration are designed to produce cool ultra-clean gas for burning in internal combustion engines or burners with high requirements to the purity of burned gas
 

FBG gasifier systems produce 200 to 2,125 Nm3 of producer gas per hour from from fine agricultural waste such as rice husk. Acceptable moisture content is less than 10%. The calorific value of producer gas is in excess of 4.4MJ/Nm3.
