1. Biomass Gasifier
INNOVATOR 1 :Dr. SUDHIR PULORIA
PRESENTED BY: INDIRA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT,PUNE

2. OVERVIEW
 Biomass is basically an organic
material, which includes wood, crop
residues, solid waste, animal
wastes, sewage, and waste from food
processing
 Biomass gasifier benefits rural poor and
the industrial sector on regular basis and is
understood easily by every day
users, whether it is a Farm or
House, Hospital or a Clinic or a Factory

3. WHAT IS BIOMASS GASIFIER
 Biomass Gasifier is a thermo-chemical
reactor where Biomass gasification takes
place which is a conversion of solid fuels
(Wood & Agricultural waste etc) into a
combustible gas mixture normally called
"Producer gas".

4. INVENTION OF DR.SUDHIR
PULORIA
 Product:Biomass Gasifier
 Range: Rs.3000 – Rs.15000
 Types:
 Simple natural gasifier
 Forced draft

5. Simple Natural Gasifier
 Price:Rs 8000
 Pay Back Period: 100 days
 Wood consumption : Very high
 Smoke/Fume: Very high
 Fuel used: Agro based ( Cotton, soya
husk)

6. Forced Draft
 Price:Rs 15000
 Pay back period: 60 days
 Wood consumption: Less as compared to
simple natural gasifier
 Characteristics:
 more systematic
 ash removal system from down
 works on ac blower where primary
and secondary combustion takes
place

7. ADVANTAGES
 These systems basically convert woody
biomass /agricultural wastes like rice-husk,
coconut waste etc into a combustible
gas which can be used in a number of
ways:
1. Burnt like a convenient gaseous fuel
through appropriate burners in case of
thermal applications.
2. Fed into gasoline engines (S.I. Engines) to
replace gasoline etc.

8. CHALLENGES
 Availability
of land
 Construction
 Collection of agro waste for the
production
 Viable only in the rural areas where ample
raw material is available

9. OPPORTUNITIES IDENTIFIED
 In villages- this model can be substituted in
the aata chakki shops
 In Naxalite area the power supply is absent.
Hence, government can subsidize the gram
panchayat to have this model as a substitute
for the generators which are expensive
 It can replace fuels like:
1. Coal
2. Kerosene
3. Electricity

10. USP
 Uses natural resource like solar energy-
saving energy and cost
 Uses machinery parts available in the rural
market

11. PROJECT FUTURE
 Future is bright as the natural resources
are depleting at a faster pace. Especially
coal and hence it can be substituted
 Also, electricity demand is high and the
supply is comparatively low. Thus, this
model can help in fulfilling the difference
in demand and supply

12. Benefits to the society
 Offersa sustainable option to all the rural
people because they can run the gasifier
and all the farm waste
 Nowadays all the farmers burn their farm
grasses to clean it for the next use
 So 1 acre of farm land waste can sustain
50 families
