An experimental study was carried out to investigate gasification process of wood sawdust in the 1-dimensional downdraft fixed bed gasifier. The preheated air which was used oxidizer and steam were used as a gasifying agent. The downdraft fixed bed gasifier obtains more amount of hydrogen and methane by increasing residence time of supplied air. The operating parameters, the supplied air temperature and steam were used. The oxidizer temperature was varied from 500K to 620K and vapor was added. The gasification process was monitored by measuring temperature at three position near the biomass using R-type thermocouples and the syngas composition was analyzed by gas chromatograph. We get the sample gas at the end of gasifier and it was eonugh time to finishing the chemical reaction. Finally, the amount of hydrogen and methane were increased widely as increasing the oxidizer temperature and adding steam.

The change of hydrogen and carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane was observed. Overall, the volume fraction of hydrogen and methane were increased widely as increasing the oxidizer temperature and adding steam.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the heat value change by various conditions of wood sawdust gasification in the 1-dimensional downdraft flow fixed bed gasifier. The preheated air and steam were used as a gasifying agent. The components of syngas were influenced increasing residence time of supplied agent. The operating parameters, the supplied agent temperature and steam addition were used. The oxidizer temperature was varied from 500K to 620K. The gasification process was monitored by measuring temperature at three points near the biomass using R-type thermocouples and the syngas composition was analyzed by gas chromatograph. We get the sample gas at the end of gasifier. Finally, the amount of hydrogen and methane were increased widely as increasing the oxidizer temperature and adding steam.

바이오매스를 이용한 분산형 발전 및 에너지화의 경우 기존의 연소법은 단순 열에너지의 이용과 스팀터빈을 이용하는 대규모 시설이 요구된다. 반면 가스화의 경우 가연성 합성가스 생성을 통하여 소규모 분산형 발전이 가능하며, 생성가스를 이용하여 다양한 응용이 가능하다. 기존 상향류식 가스화의 경우의 바이오매스 가스화시 목질계 내 리그닌 성분으로 인하여 다량의 타르가 발생하여 후단 처리 설비에 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 하향류식 가스화 방법을 통하여 목질계 바이오매스의 가스화 특성을 알아보았다. 가스화기 하부로 배출되는 합성가스의 온도는 대략 1000$^{\cdot}C$까지 유지할 수 있었으며, 생성되는 합성가스의 발열량은 약 $1300kcal/Nm^3$의 수준으로 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 발생되는 타르는 $5{\sim}15ppm$ 정도로 기존 상향류식에 비해 매우 적은양의 타르가 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this work, an experimental study of the gasification on wood was carried out in downdraft type fixed bed Gasifier attached with 10 kW duel fuel diesel engine. The main objective of the study was to use wood as the biomass fuel for downdraft Gasifier and to evaluate the operating parameter of gasifier unit to predict its performance in terms of gas yield and cold gas efficiency. The influence of different biomass on fuel consumption rate, gas yield and cold gas efficiency was studied. Composition of producer gas was also detected for measuring the lower heating value of producer gas to select the feed stock so that optimum performance in the existing gasifier unit can be achieved. Under the experimental conditions, Lower heating value, of producer gas, cold gas efficiency and gas yields, using wood as a feed stock, are $4.85MJ/m^3$, 46.57% and $0.519m^3/kg$.

Biomass is material that is comprehensive of carbonaceous materials from plants, crops, animals, and algae. It has been used as one of heating fuel since the beginning the emergence of human beings. Since biomass is regarded as carbon-neutral energy source, it has recently been attracting attention as an energy source that can replace fossil fuels. The most widely applied field is distributed power generation, and a method of generating electric power by driving an internal combustion engine with syngas produced by gasifier is chosen. While the composition of the syngas produced in gasifiers changes depending on the air flowing into the reactor, commercialized gasifiers so far do not control the air flowing into the reactor. When the inner pressure in reactor increases, the air sucked into the reactor is reduced. That change of amount of air makes the composition of syngas varied. Those variations of composition of syngas cause the incomplete combustion hence the power output of engine drops, which is a critical weakness of the gasification technology. In this paper, to produce the uniformly composed syngas, PID control is applied. The result was shown when the amount of air into the reactor is supplied with the constant amount using PID control, the standard deviation of caloric values of syngas is around 2[%] of its average value. Meanwhile the gasifier without PID control has the standard deviation of caloric values is around 7[%]. Therefore, Adopting PID control to supply constant air to the gasifier is highly desirable.
