20 kg/h Pilot Scale Air Blown Fluidized Bed Gasification (PFBG) Test Facility

20 kg/h Pilot Scale Air Blown Fluidized Bed Gasification (PFBG) Test Facility is a useful device to understand gasification performance and potential of any feed stock in granular form before investing for large scale fluidized bed gasification installations or selection of suitable fuel resources for fluidized bed gasification.

20 kg/h Pilot Scale Air Blown Fluidized Bed Gasification (PFBG) Test Facility is a electrically heated setup to evaluate  and understand gasification performance of coal, biomass samples in a granular form in a fluidizing conditions. This test facility is useful for R&D and academic institutions to understand fluidization and gasification phenomena at pilot scale level, CFD modeling groups for validation of developed phenomenological models and to industries to study the gasification potential of new feedstock before its selection for fluidized bed gasification.

20 kg/h Pilot Scale Air Blown Fluidized Bed Gasification (PFBG) Test Facility has following advantages.

• PFBG provides hydrodynamic and process conditions similar to large scale gasifiers.
• PFBG is an electrically heated facility therefore it facilitates fast heating and cooling benefiting towards shorter startup and shutdown period.
• Required fuel feed rate for PFBG is in the range of 9 - 20 kg/h depending upon mainly ash content and heat value of the fuel which is convenient to conduct gasification experiments.
