Abstract

In this article, investigation and analysis of an experiment for downdraft biomass gasification has been conducted using two different feed stocks namely tree waste and sawdust pellet at different equivalence ratio. The different gas yield due to gasification mainly hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane, carbon dioxide and nitrogen have been observed by the use of online gas analyser. The equivalence ratio of air has been varied from 0.3 to 0.4 for both of the biomass feedstock. On the basis of producer gas yield, the LHV of producer gas have also been calculated for different equivalence ratio and for both of the biomass. After that the LHV has been compared between the two biomass feedstock for equivalence ratios of 0.3, 0.33 and 0.4. The trend of LHV on the basis of different equivalence ratio has been examined and plotted.
