Navrattan Holdings Ltd. Introduces Thermo Chemical Gasification In India
India has become one of the
fastest-growing economies in the world. The fast-paced growth of the economy
which is the 3rd largest in terms of GDP has resulted in a surging demand for
energy. The ever increasing demand for energy is projected to grow at a rate of
3% over the next two decades. The increase in demand for energy to cater to a
large population; we are inclined to develop and harness environmentally
friendly clean and ‘green’ energy resources in-line with the global trend.
Navrattan Holdings Limited has
become the first company to introduce Navrattan Thermo Chemical Gasification
Technology in India. The revolutionary technology is capable of converting any
carbon-containing feedstock such as biomass, coke, sewage, agricultural,
animal, medical, and municipal solid waste into ‘Green’ electricity, natural
gas, and biofuel. The gas thus produced is called the ‘Syngas’. SYNGAS is a
shortened name for Synthetic Gas that commonly deals with the blend of hydrogen
and carbon monoxide. It is a clean, dry, flexible fuel.
THE BASICS OF GASIFICATION
Thermo Chemical Gasification (TCG)
is a process that involves various stages; pre-treatment of the feedstock, the
gasification processes itself, gas cleaning and the utilization of the gas.
The pre-treatment of the feedstock
is essential to achieve the high performance of the gasifier. During
the Gasification stage, the feedstock and gasification media like air, oxygen
steam or a mix of these are injected into the system. The gasification media
breaks down the feedstock. The efficiency is higher in gasification processes
as they can be run at a higher temperature than combustion. 70 - 80% of the
energy contained in the feedstock is converted to the energy content of the
Syngas, the rest being heat and losses.
The Synthetic Gas produced
primarily constitutes hydrogen (H) and carbon monoxide (CO). Cleaning the gas
is an important step especially the removal of tar particles as they can damage
the gas engine.
SOURCES OF SYNGAS
One of the many advantages of the
use of Synthetic Gas to produce clean fuel is that it can be produced from
waste materials which would otherwise, need to be discarded. Instead of placing
waste products in landfills or the oceans, this waste can be used to generate
useful and eco-friendly fuel. This makes the Thermo Chemical Gasification
process both an efficient means of producing energy and an environmentally
friendly option for the recycling of waste products.
Virtually any carbon-based material
can be gasified to produce syngas. The carbon that is stored in the plant
material is released as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide allowing for nearly
all the carbon in the biomass to be converted to syngas.
ABOUT THE FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN OF NAVRATTAN GROUP
Mr. Himansh Verma, the Founder & Chairman of Navrattan Group plays a huge role in bringing this novel technology in India. Mr. Verma is a visionary who has researched and developed over 60 innovative technologies with the help of eminent scientists.
ADVANTAGES OF SYNGAS PRODUCED BY NAVRATTAN’S TCG TECHNOLOGY
Some of the major benefits of Syngas produced through Thermo Chemical Gasification is:
1. Generation of renewable power.
2. Conversion of waste materials to useful and ‘clean’ fuels.
3. Feedstock flexibility.
4. Low capital cost – less than ½ the cost of conventional designs.
5. Cost-effective and cleaner than conventional combustion process.
6. One of the most efficient technologies for waste treatment.
7. Rapid deployment – 12 months or less for a single unit.
8. Modular plant design.
9. Reduced carbon emissions.
