biomass gasifier types

Biomass gasifiers are machines able to convert plant material, waste, and organic compounds to gas. However, this gas is also very beneficial as a means of fueling homes and businesses while powering vehicles as well. Well, there are many kinds of biomass gasifiers, and with all there are pro and cons. Let’s look a little closer at some of the most widely used types of biomass gasifiers.

  1. Updraft Gasifiers

Updraft gasifier is one of the most popular types of biomass gasifiers. These machines use heat to cook and dry biomass in an oxygen-free environment. When heated, the biomass gives off gas. This gas can be combusted to generate energy. For the larger jobs we use updraft gasifiers. They can, for example, even supply power to large buildings or entire neighborhoods. They are popular because they are versatile and able to handle a wide variety of biomass.

Choosing the Right Biomass Gasifier for Your Needs

  1. Downdraft Gasifiers

Downdraft gasifier is another biomass gasifier type. These are similar to updraft gasifiers, but there's an important difference. In downdraft gasifiers, biomass is heated from the upper side while gas is released from the lower part. This design allows the downdraft gasifiers to give more energy compared to updraft gasifiers. But they can be pricier to purchase and operate, too, something to keep in mind if you’re considering one for yourself.

  1. Fluidized Bed Gasifiers

The next class are fluidized bed gasifiers. These machines employ a stream of air to form a fluid-like bed of material into which the biomass is introduced. The biomass gives off gas when it is in this bed. They are also suitable for small tasks like gasification of fewer amounts. They are handy for cooking or heating small buildings, for example. Their versatility in terms of biomass feedstock make them a viable choice for a variety of different applications.
