Dear ALL,
1.0 I wish to know the internationally
accepted standard codes that are available for conducting the "Performance
Test" of a bio gasifier - whether it be moving bed, fluidised bed or entrained
bed type. Can anyone help?
I understand that ASME has a PTC - 47 which
is meant for an IGCC units. But have no idea as to how much of this can
be adopted in checking the performance of a biomass gasifier? I
also understand that ASME had a code for conducting Performance
Tests on a coal based producer gas plant - I think it was PTC -
16, but I believe this code has been with drawn for sometime.
If someone is working on such a code - good !
But if this is not so, then isn't it time that a PTC
for biomass gasifiers be drawn up ?
2.0 Further, the petroleum and petrochemical
industry rely on API for standards, codes and recommended
practices. Isn't it time that such things also be introduced in this
industry (biomass gasification) so that there are guidelines for
buyers of biomass gasifiers to go by? I am sure this will be interest of the
industry and will keep away a lot of "tall claims and counter claims"once the
industry sees such internationally accepted standards and codes.
Comments please !!
K.Dey.
