| description | The fuel that is used worldwide currently is mostly from fossil fuel which is
depleting. In order to replace thefuel, biomass is introduced as an alternative fuel
source to generate energy.
The objective of the work are to investigate the possibility of a specific
biomass, which is fabric waste, to be used in the gasification process and to
determine the heating value of the gas produced.
The fabric waste was analised its heating value using bomb calirometer,
followed by proximate analysis using thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA).
Gasification experiment of fabric waste was done using fluidised bed gasifier.
Producer gas sample was then analysed using gas chromatograph and tar sample was
collected and analysed using rotary evaporator.
From the pre-analysis of the fabric waste, the heating value of the fabric
waste is ranged from 15.69 to 17.08 MJ/kg. From the proximate analysis of the fabric
waste, it is found that the fabric generally has high volatile material content (85.817
to 89.015%), followed by fixed carbon content (7.425 to 9.858%), moisture content
(3.399 to 4.189%) and ash content (0.079 to 0.197%). The gas composition of the
producer gas collected are 0.07% hydrogen, 12.15% oxygen, 30.61% nitrogen,
4.15% carbon monoxide, 0.55% methane and 52.47% carbon dioxide. The heating
value of the producer gas is 0.72 Mj/Sm3
and the tar content in the producer gas is
1484 mg/Sm3. |
