GAS-L: Power

[bola@vsnl.com]

Dear Sir,

I am from the souther part of India. We have a abundent agricultural waste
here. I am giving herewith the charecteristics of one of such agri-waste as
tested at reputed laboratory.

1 Physical Property
Bulk density                  g/cc .4430
Gross Calorific value Cal/g       4600
Moisture Wt.  %                     4.78
Fixed Carbon Wt. %             25.39
Volatile matter Wt.             72.56
Ash Content                     2.05

2. Ultimate Analysis
a) Carbon                               46.08
b) Hydrogen                             3.88
c) Nitrogen                              0.21
  d) Sulphur                              Nil
e) Moisture                              8.85
f) Ash                                  2.00
Oxygen (by diff)                       38.98

3. Ash Chemical Composition  % by Wt.
a) Silica (as SiO2)                      61.83
b) Iron Oxide (as Fe2O3)                 3.99
c) Aluminium Oxide (as Al2O3)            1.99
d) Calcium oxide (as CaO)               25.64
e) Magnesium Oxide (as MgO)            1.88
f) Sodium Oxide (as Na2O)             0.68
g) Potassium Oxide (as K2O)           3.55
h) Sulphate (as SO3)                  0.18
i) Phosphate (as P2O5)                Trases

4. Ash Fusion Characteristics
a) Initial deformation Temp. (T1)     840
b) Hemispherical Temp. (T2)          920
c) Fusion temp. (T3)                1010

We have around 80 MT of this material per day. The cost of electrical power
is US$ 0.07 per KwH.

Kindly inform

1. Weather it will be possible to  produce electrical power ?
2. What will be the suitable technology ?
3. What will be the cost of entire system ?
4. What will be the overall efficiency of conversion ? How much power can be
produced using 80 MT of material ?

Thanks for giving most valued direction. Please put reply to

Thanks

Rahul Kamath
