SORGHUM HUSK WASTE USING A
UPDRAFT GASIFIER
ABSTRACT
From an initial stage the gasified technology undergone digit of barriers.
The relative cost and fossil fuels accessibility ascertain the focus and research in
gasification. The analysis has been focused on the measurement of synthesis gas
production from palm tree fruit and Sorghum husk working a updraft gasifier. The
intention of this research is to explore the performance of the gasifier and the gas
generation rates of biomass materials such as palm tree fruit, Sorghum husk, corn
waste, caster husk. From the experimental study it shows that Maximum gas flow
rate produced for Palm tree fruit material due to its high calorific value when
compared to others.
Keywords: Calorific Value, Caster Husk, Palm tree fruit waste material, Corn
Waste, Sorghum Husk, Gasifier Production Rate, Gasifier Efficiency.
INTRODUCTION
Petroleum products that are in huge necessity these days are being
exhausted rapidly. Similarly their burnable thing were causing major issues in the
world such as Ozone layer exhaustion, corrosive downpours and contamination that
are causing high risk to our life and put an end on our planet. So it is important to
create an efficient fuel for the most known fuel such as oil, diesel and LPG. In this
project, we have explained that maker gas is another elective fuel produced by
biomass gasification methods. It is known that the initial cause of demand use of
setup innovation is Gasification according to 1830.
In the gasification procedure, the components in each stage have been used
to produce the hydrogen. The gasification procedure modifies the natural material into
CO, CO2 and H2 gas. The procedure is majorly utilized on mechanical products to
measure age of power from fuel. The motivation behind this testing is to produce the
synthesis gas in the updraft type established bed gasification shell.
GASIFIER
 Gasification is a process of conversion of the fuel or organic wastes/matter

into a gas called producer gas. This process involves a sequence of
chemical and thermal reactions like the oxidation and reduction . The
process takes place in the reactor called Gasifier.
 The producer gas also called syngas has a calorific valve ranging from
1000 to 1200 kcal/Nm3. Other products include gases, tar, charcoal and
many more. The products obtained from the gasification process are the
primary gases. The names of these gases can be syngas, generator gas,
wood gas, coal gas or others. Generally, named as biogas.
Biomass Material Representation

Gasification of Biomass Material After:
 Ash of Caster Husk Ash of Palm tree fruit

 Ash of Sorghum Husk Ash of Corn Waste
PROTIONARY DESIGN
 Manufactured of Updraft Type Gasification Process

Experimental Procedure
 Experimental Setup of Updraft Gasifier
 Line Diagram of Updraft Type Gasifier
Components of the Manufactured Gasifier
 Reaction Chamber
Reactor is basically encased chamber simply a

enthusiastic tank to intense the palm tree fruit
or any material with burning temperatures
inspite of beyond full ignition.This is cultivated
by reacting the material at high temperatures
without start with a controlled amount of oxygen
and steam. The ensuing gas mix is called syngas
or producer gas and itself a fuel. It is most pressing piece of the gasifier.
 Cyclone Channel
The cyclone channel reducing is a technique for

expelling granules from air, gas or fluid flow,
without the utilization of channels, via swirl
detachment. When removing granules issue from
liquid, a hydro vicious breeze is used while from
gas, a gas twister is used. This strategy can
likewise be utilized to discrete fine beads of fluid
from a vaporous flow.
 Scrubber system
Scrubbers frameworks are differently that can be

used to gases from streams. Scrubbers are one
of the primary devices that control gaseous
emissions especially acid gases & vent gases.
 Gas Stream Meter
A flow meter is thing stream meter, utilized to

gauge the capacity of fuel gases. Flow meters
are utilized in private, business, and modern
structures which expend fuel gas provided by a
flow utility. Flow meters measure a epitomized
capacity, paying little heed to the persuaded
amount or nature of the flow coursing via the meter.
 Control valve
Control valve is a device. It is signal taken from

the controller. The controller produces comparisons
actual gas flow rate to the desire flow gas value,
causes the set point value. A control valve power
operated device used to regulate of flow of fluids
such as gas, water & stream.
RESULTS (Graphical Representation)
 CV Value (vs.) Gasification Efficiency
Palm tree fruit material has

highest efficiency (30.64) and
Castor husk has the least
efficiency (16.16).
 Gas Production (vs.) Biomass material

highest gas production rate (10.64)
and Castor husk has the least
gas production rate (6.16).
 Gasification Efficiency (vs.) Biomass Material

highest gasification efficiency (63.5)
and Castor husk has the least
gasification efficiency (35).
CONCLUSION
 The experiment is managed on Gasifier by utilizing updraft gasifier various

substances such as Palm tree fruit, Sorghum husk, Corn waste, Caster husk
waste material, by utilizing constructed Updraft Gasifier and their
efficiencies, Gas production rate are determined.
 Palm tree fruit Material produced the Highest Gas Production rate (10.54
m3/hr/m2), Gasification Efficiency (63.5%) and gas flow rate (2.241 m 3/hr)
due to high calorific value of palm tree fruit when compared to other
material
 Caster husk Material produced the Least Gas Production rate (6.29
m3/hr/m2), Gasification Efficiency (35.1%) and Gas flow rate (1.321 m 3/hr)
due to low calorific value of caster husk when compared to other.
