Abstract

In today’s world, it is necessary to find out environment friendly energy sources to meet the increasing demand. India is having a major portion of power extraction through the thermal sources which are costlier and degrading the environment condition. Biomass energy sources can be used for the solution of power demand increment and environment problems. India has a huge potential of mustard and cotton agriculture waste. This paper has studied the use of mustard and cotton waste as biomass feedstock to gasifier for energy production. The authors have presented a biomass gasifier model by using the Aspen Plus software. The developed model is validated with four different types of feedstock, i.e., neem wood, babool wood, mango wood and bagasse. The developed model has under estimated the CH4 and well-predicted composition of CO, H2 and CO2. The validated model is used to perform sensitive analysis of mustard and cotton waste biomass using Aspen Plus.
