Abstract
nIn present day scenario, the burning of paddy straw seriously affects the environment in India. This paper research work is utilized to solve the above-mentioned problem. In this research work, a downdraft gasifier is used for the gasification process of paddy straw for generating Producer gas (PG). The process is carried out with air as gasifying agent. The gas composition, calorific value, temperature, and efficiency are taken as performance characteristics whereas equivalence ratio (ɸ) and feedstock are considered as input parameters. It is concluded from experiments that consumption of feedstock (Kg/hr) increased to 64 from 48 with the increase in equivalence ratio (ɸ) from 0.227 to 0.295 the feedstock consumption rate is increased from 48 to 64 kg/hr. Moreover, the values of cold gas efficiency (87.29%) and calorific value (5.32 MJ/Nm3) are observed maximum at 0.286 value of ɸ. In addition, the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) (i.e., 17.87%) is found to be maximum at 0.248 value of ɸ. Besides this, the oxidation zone temperature is also changed from 700 – 1000°C.
