In this paper, various parametric aspects of biomass gasification have been discussed. The most widely used configurations of biomass gasifiers and the effect of various operating parameters on the quality of producer gas and performance of gasifier are considered. The performance of the biomass gasifier system is evaluated in terms of zone temperature, calorific value, equivalence ratio, producer gas composition, gas production rate, and cold gas efficiency.
Keywords: Fixed bed gasifier, Types, Thermo-Chemical process, Parameters, Equivalence ratio, Cold gas efficiency
