STUDY OF GASIFICATION ON THE DIFFERENT FUELS AND FUEL FEED RATE IN FLUIDIZED BED GASIFIER

An Optimum Fuel feed rate is Established in a Fluidized bed Gasifier for generating producer gas at a steady state Screw feeder system is installed that was used to feed fuel particles of different size. Steady state gasification was achieved at higher gas velocities are the fuel particles in fluidi zed state. A fluidized bed Gasifier is developed that incorporates a variable fuel feed mechanism for generation different quantity of producer gas. A study of gasification on the different fuels and Gasification rate for various fuel feed rate were be made.

T h e a i m o f t h e d e s i gn i s ge n e r a t e a Producer Gas a low tar content . Feeder system is installed for the controlling fuel feed rate and better Gasification rate is provided to the fluidized particle . T h e D e s i gn and fabrication of Fluidized bed Gasifier is Automobile Application .The D i f f e r e n t p ar t i c l e s a n d d i f fe r e n t s i z e o f p ar t i c l e s were a n a l y z ed f o r f l u i d i z ed b e d . The time of generation of producer gas is significantly reduced as compared to conventional packed bed Gasifier .The size of the Gasifier is reduced hence can be conveniently used for Automobile Application.
