| Summary: | Present energy use is largely dependent on fossil fuels which make future sustainable
development very difficult. Fossil fuels contain high amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) and
sulphur dioxide (SO2) that may cause air pollution and global warming. Biomass fuels appear
as the most suitable option to substitute the fossil fuels with the highest general worldwide
potential. Fluidized Bed Gasifier (FBG) is one of the conversion techniques that can be used to
converse the biomass into useful and clean gasses. This system has been designed at Universiti
Sains Malaysia for researching process related.
The present work reports studies on the previous researches on fluidized bed and the
development process of the designed system. The design parameters of fluidized bed are also
studied for further understanding. The development process is including the piping installation
of the system and the modification of the system. The modifications carried out depending of
the problems occur after the piping installation. Most of the modification carried out focused
on the gas inlet port connection. Besides, some experiments are also carried out in order to
determine the bed material (sand) size, the density and the moisture content of wood chip fuel.
Sands and wood chip are used in running the gasifier system. The results of the experiment
then are compared with the design parameter to ensure either the sand purchased suitable for
the gasifier experiment or not. |
