摘要：

Biomass is a widely used renewable energy resource with net balanced carbon dioxide absorptions and emissions. An inefficient use of solid biomass in combustion process emits more gaseous pollutants, increasing the pollution level. Biomass gasification is one of the techniques to support efficient use of biomass. Multistage gasification is a method of gasification to improve quality of the producer gas in which two separate reactors are designed for separating gasification reactions. This study presents experimental results of gasification using Eucalyptus wood in a single long cylindrical reactor with two air supply ports, i. e., primary and secondary. The effect of different air supply rates on the heating values of the producer gas was studied. Optimum primary and secondary air supply rate of 100 and 80 l/min at equivalence ratio of 0. 38 was observed with producer gas lower heating value of 4. 72 MJ Nm-3. The performance of a diesel engine in the dual fuel mode was also evaluated. The overall gasifier engine system efficiency was 13. 86 % at an electrical load of 10. 54 kWe with specific energy consumption of 16. 22 MJ kWh-1. The heat recovery system was designed and tested to recover heat from producer gas in the form of hot water. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
