Abstract

In India total Groundnut production was 7.54 Million Tonnes during 2010-11, approximately 45% - 50% is from Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. There are many Groundnut oil producing industries in these states. Disposal of these biomass residues is a problem, since it is difficult to burn groundnut shell waste at atmospheric condition. This situation makes people to focus on sustainable energy resources for waste disposal. One of the technique is Gasification, which is a thermo-chemical conversion process that enables conversion of groundnut shell into producer gas which can be used for power generation. As a raw material, groundnut shells have attractive potential for large scale industries and community level enterprises for power generation. With the above Groundnut production, the production potential per ton of waste is calculated to be 4905 kWh/ton and Energy from waste is calculated to be 2013 MW. Optimization has been made to enhance specific calorific value of producer gas in the downdraft gasifier.

花生壳在下吸式气化炉中的性能评价

2010-11年度印度花生总产量为754万吨，其中约45% - 50%来自安得拉邦、卡纳塔克邦和泰米尔纳德邦。这些州有许多花生油生产工业。处理这些生物质残留物是一个问题，因为很难在大气条件下燃烧花生壳废物。这种情况使得人们开始关注可持续能源对废物的处理。其中一项技术是气化，这是一种热化学转化过程，可以将花生壳转化为可用于发电的生产气体。花生壳作为一种原料，对大型工业和社区级企业发电具有很大的吸引力。以上述花生产量计算，每吨废弃物的生产潜力为4905千瓦时/吨，废弃物能源为2013兆瓦。对下吸式气化炉产气进行了优化，提高了产气的比热值。
