MEKARN Workshop 2009: Livestock, Climate Change and the Environment |
The design and construction of gasifier in Cambodia is divided into three sections: hopper, reaction unit and ash collector. The hopper stores the feedstock. It consists of drying zone and pyrolysis zone. The reaction zone has a combustion zone and reduction zone. The ash section is the bottom part for storing ash. The test was conducted at CelAgrid, Cambodia with installed one by using feedstock of Mulberry stem; Cassava and Rice husk to decline the diesel to compare with the one from Ankur, India. Mulberry stem; Cassava, and Rice husk can decline diesel up to 74%, 67%, and 57% respectively.
At the present, the rice mills and rural electricity in Cambodia, have been imported the gasifier, operating with the feedstock of rice husk and other agricultural by-product to decline diesel and save their much expenditure in fuel. According to these advantages, the Cambodian and Chinese engineers built their workshops to construct these gasifies to fulfill the needs, they are able to install at least three a month depend on the capacity.
