Two excellent presentations by V.V.N. Kishore of Tata Energy Research Institute (TERI) at the IEA Workshop describe gasification activities and small CHP systems in India.

We have been working on open-top down draft, re-burn gasification of bioresidues for the past three years and have successfully implemented 7 projects ranging in size from 20 kWe to 2 MWe, in India and abroad, using a wide range of biomass feedstock such as Casuarina, Eucalyptus, coconut shell. The gasifiers can use practically any woody biomass fuel containing upto 15% moisture and are used by our clients for both thermal applications and for power generation.

We are engaged in the manufacturing of renewable and non-conventional energy equipments. i.e. briquetting plants and biomass gasifiers.

Activities: manufacturing briquetting plants JUMBO 90 model with production capacity of 500 to 1500 kgs per hour, with an added benefit ;JUMBO 90 does not require hammer mill or sizing machine since residuals of upto 25mm can be fed directly. Moreover, it has been developed for minimum consumption of power and maintenance.
