the Gasifier unit is essentially a chemical reactor, where several thermo-chemical processes such as pyrolysis, combustion, and reduction take place.

most biomass materials like Wood, charcoal, straw, Grass and Rice Husk etc can be converted into a gaseous fuel known as syn-Gas, which com-prises carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrogen. this gas has a lower calorific value (1000–1200 kcal/nm3) compared to natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas, but can be burnt directly with high efficiency and good degree of control without emitting smoke. the syn-Gas flame temperature can be as high as 1100 °c. Each kilogram of air-dry biomass (10% moisture content) yields about 2.5 nm3 of syn-Gas. in energy terms, the conversion efficiency of the gasification process is in the range of 80%–90%.

Advantages of GB Gasifired Europe technology Gasifier Biomassour technology gasifiers have range of special features that gives them the distinctive edge in thermal applications.

Dry gas system: We offer completely dry gas generators which do not require water/scrub-ber based gas cleaning. this not only improves the overall thermal efficiency, but also elimi-nates the problems with effluent treatment discharge.

Hot gas filter: We have developed a unique gas filter that operates at temperatures up to 395 °c and can trap very fine dust particles, resulting in a very clean hot gas.

Compact footprint: the GB Gasifired - Vergassen series gasifiers are the most compact gasification systems available in india, the rest of asian countries and now in Europe. the compact design not only requires a much smaller area for installation but also minimizes heat loss and increases overall thermal efficiency.

Zero effluent system: the GB Gasifired - Vergassen series is designed to have minimum waste products and zero liquid effluents.

Highest overall efficiency: the GB Gasifired - Vergassen systems are designed for maximum overall thermal efficiency. the conversion and overall thermal efficiency of the system are as high as 90%.

Advanced control and automatic: the GB Gasifired - Vergassen gasifiers are provided (op-tional) with a range of innovative control and automation features so the gas generation (and conse-quently fuel wood consumption) is automatically controlled to respond to the thermal load require-ment. (PLc panel, Remote control system all technology process).

Fully automatic burners (optional): the production of good quality gas from wood is just one half of the solution. the solution is complete only when an appropriately designed burner is used to burn the gas. We have indigenously developed a wide range of fully automatic burners for syn-Gas from capacities ranging from 50 000 kcal/hr. to 25 00 000 kcal/hr. these burners are loaded with all the safety features of conventional automatic burners. We offer single stage, double stage or continuously modulating type burners depending upon the capacity and application.de

Reduction

Downdraftin this type, air is brought into downward flowing fixed area or solid fuels and gas is drawn off on the bottom. a lower overall efficiency and difficul-ties in handling higher moisture is the limitations in downdraft gas producers. the time (5–10 minutes) needed to ignite and bring plant to working temperature with good gas quality is shorter than updraft gas producer.

this gasifier is suitable for internal combustion engines after appropriate cleaning.these gasifiers are best suited for applications where clean fuel gas is required and where temperature control is critical.these gasifier can be used in applications requiring moderate temperatures up to 600 °c.

typical applications where the Down draft gasifiers have been successfully used are:

• continuous Baking ovens (Bread, Biscuits, Paint)

• Batch type baking oven – rotary oven for bread

• Dryers & curing – tea, coffee, mosquito coil, paper drying

• Boilers

• thermic fluid heaters

• annealing furnaces

• Direct fired rotary kilns

• internal combustion Engines and cHP

Updraft Gasifieran updraft gasifier has clearly defined zones for partial combustion, reduction, and pyrolysis. air is introduced at the bottom and act as countercur-rent to fuel flow. the gas is drawn at higher location. the updraft gasifier achieves the highest efficiency as the hot gas passes through fuel bed and leaves the gasifier at low temperature. the sensible heat given by gas is used to preheat and dry fuel.

these gasifiers are best suited for applications where moderate amounts of dust in the fuel gas are acceptable and a higher flame temperature is required.

typical applications where the updraft gasifiers have been successfully used are:

• Packaged Boilers

• thermic fluid heaters

• all kinds of fryers

• Rotary type roasters

• aluminum melting /annealing furnace

Universal gasification unit GB GasifiredGasification units GB Gasifired are based on the principle of flow drift and are able to transform any biomass to syn-Gas of high quality and with an insignificant proportion of tar. the only limitation of the gasification unit is the size of fuel < 3 mm. Universal gasification units are unique in their ability to gasify even a low quality fuels, such as soy beans, cereal straw and rapeseed, mustard stalks, sunflower hulls, oily skin, etc., containing a high proportion of ash and low quality flow.

technology and unique design of the reactor and effective drying system are the result of more than fifteen years of continuous development.

advantage of GB Gasifired technology

GB Gasifired systems have a number of unique features that make them an ideal solution for industrial Heat & Power.

Simple, Easy Operation, Easy to load, Simple to startall you‘ll need to start the GB Gasifired system is a fire lighter and some light sticks. the Gasifier manages the rest of the startup procedure making sure that the fire builds up as quickly and ef-ficiently as possible.

Clean Syn-Gassince GB Gasifired produces an exceptionally clean syn-Gas; heat exchangers remain clean and require minimal maintenance and downtime. clean syn-Gas can also be used to directly fire heating and drying applications such as sesame seed dryers, Biscuit wafer plant, singeing machine, & rotary dryers, dry kilns, lime kilns etc or can be fed into Gas engine for power generation.

Low Particulate EmissionsGB Gasifired produce extremely low particulate emissions (typically < 50 mg/m3) that may eliminate the requirement for air pollution control equip-ment such as multicores, electrostatic precipitators (EsPs) or bag house filters depending on the fuel type.

High efficiencyDue to the unique design GB Gasifired systems achieves extremely high efficiencies, up to 91% on some models.

Indirect Gas Coolerthe GB Gasifired system uses only indirect gas cooler and thereby eliminates water based gas cleaning. thus, there is no sticky “tar“ and tar con-taminated effluents to be handled / disposed.

Hot Gas Filter Systemthe GB Gasifired - Vergassen incorporates a unique hot gas fine filtration system (optional), a first of its kind, which can clean hot gases (tempera-tures up to 600 °c). the dry gas filtration has an efficiency of over 96% for particulates over 10 micron size. it can typically produce a clean gas with less than 80 micrograms per m3 of particulate matter.

The compact size of the areaGasifired GB - Vergassen is an extremely compact gasification unit. standard system with 1,000 kWe reactors, gas cleaning and handling system would take the space of only 15 x 17 meters (without fuel storage). the system design includes supporting construction and access platforms. the reactor does not need any foundation. so it is necessary only construction preparations and minor construction works.

High Turn-Down Ratiothe output of the gasifier can be reduced up to 1/3 of its maximum capacity while still maintaining stable operation.

Quick Start and Shutdownthe GB Gasifired - Vergassen series has extremely quick start capability and reach 75% of its capac-ity with 30 mins of cold start and 15 minutes of restart (within 12 hours of shut down). typically the shutdown time is less than 15 minutes.

Idling Capability During Low Load PeriodsGB Gasifired quickly fall into an idling mode where they can remain on standby for extendedperiods, such as a weekend shutdown, without consuming fuel, and then be brought back to full capacity within two hours. this enables operators to save fuel and avoids shutdown and restart dur-ing periods of low heat demand.

Fuel FlexibilityGB Gasifired can accommodate a wide range of wood fuels including wood chips, wood blocks, biomass briquettes, straw, waste garden, grass & other biomass from powdered to 10 cm sizes.

Low Capital CostGB Gasifired energy systems cost less because they are simpler in design, contain less equipment and have fewer moving parts. the ash collection system is also fully automatic, simpler, less expensive and easier to operate compared to conventional gasification systems.

Low O&M CostGB Gasifired systems are less expensive to operate and maintain because of their simple design and requirement for less equipment. Lower gas velocities and temperatures in the gasifier result in longer life and less refractory maintenance. Reduced particulate scouring results in less wear on the refractory in the gasifier.

superior operational control, high turndown ratio, idling capability, syn-Gas control and ability to eliminate ash melting, all contribute to making GB Gasifired systems very simple and easy to operate compared to conventional gasification/ combustion processes. this results in minimal operator intervention and contributes to low operating cost.

Easy, Automatic Operation (Modern, user-friendly controller)GB Gasifired systems are fully automatic for unmanned operation with state-of-the-art controls. the GB Gasifier comes with an easy-to-use control-ler which manages the complete Gasification process and regulates supply to the burner/engine system. the control system is designed to provide safe, efficient operation of the energy system.

Depending on the client‘s requirement, the GB Gasifired - Vergassen‘s operations may be totally or partly automatic.

The optional automation modules include:1. Reactor press control: to maintain the required gas quantity and quality accurately.2. Load synchronizer: to control and regulate gas generation to adjust the load requirement. this eliminates possibility of excess gas pressuriza-

tion / low heat availability and also eliminates the need to flare excess gas.3. automatic filter operation: to prevent problems such as choking and dust carry over from the filter.4. Load following control (optional): the gas generation (and consequently fuel wood consumption) is automatically controlled to follow the thermal

load requirement.5. Wide Range of Burners to suit any application (fully automatic Burners).6. PLc panel, Remote control.

advantage of GB Gasifired technology

syn-Gas

Possibilities of utilization:• Gas generator, acquired technology GB Gasifired can be used as a source of energy for heat and power (cHP - gas engines designed to burn gas

generator).• syn-Gas can be fed by pipeline from gasification units (which may be located outside the building works) into furnaces, etc., located in the build-

ing of the plant, and burn it in specially designed burners instead of fossil fuels such as oil / light diesel oil liquefied petroleum gas / compressed natural gas.

thus it is possible to effectively replace the expensive liquid / gaseous fuel wood low-cost without changes in operation, temperature profiles, with temperature control and cleanliness in the area of business.
