The gasification is a thermo-chemical conversion of biomass in fuel gas which can be used as a fuel in internal combustion engines or as a syngas for chemical industry. To quantify the performance of a gasifier we must quantify the energy contained in the gas produced and relate to the amount of energy contained in the biomass that feeds the gasifier, Energy Efficiency, and even with regard to levels of carbon converted from biomass into the gas produced, Carbon Conversion. This paper assesses the energy efficiency and carbon conversion in a prototype of an Indian downdraft gasifier type produced by a local company (Floragás). The gasifier nominal parameters are: gas production capacity of 45 kWt, açaí seeds consumption of 15 kg/h. The gasifier reactor dimensions are ID 150 mm and height in 2000 mm). Its energy efficiency and rate of carbon conversion were quantified, the drop in pressure due to the reactor bed and the gas temperature were also measured at the reactor exit and quantified the concentration of tar, particulate and not condensable gases (CO, CO2, CH4, SO2, N2 and NOx) in the flue gas after cleaning system.

A bed of small-scale gasifier was a designed, built and operated in order to investigate the parameters that influence the gasification process of a fixed bed of açai seeds. The reactor type was a stratified downdraft open top and the dimensions are 15 cm of inner diameter and 1.5 m of height, with thermal insulation. The gas produced was collected downstream of the gasification bed and condensed for tar removal, which was subsequently quantified by Karl Fisher titration. After removal of tar, the produced gas was introduced in a Micro GC to be quantified in molar percentage of H2, CO, N2 and CH4. The temperature profile of the bed was measured with thermocouples type K, positioned along the longitudinal axis of the bed, with a distance of 10 cm between each other. The air flow was measured using a Pitot tube and a micromanometer. The acquisition of temperature data was made by a datalogger and the mass air flow rate was logged using the RS232 communication of the micromanometer. The experimental procedures were performed over 4 hours of operation of the gasification bed and the biomass average consumption was 1,6 kg/h. Six temperature profiles, mass flow of the incoming air, the bed pressure drop, concentrations of gases and tar content in the condensable gas, were obtained. It was found that the gasifier bed of acai can be operated in a wide range of air flow rates from 2 to 5 kg/h, with the amount of energy of the gas produced ranging from 5 to 15 MJ/h. The typical concentrations of gases obtained for the produced gas were 13% of H2, 11% of CO, 1,3% and CH4. The maximum cold gas efficiency resulted in 57% and and average tar content was 155 g/m3.
