Abstract

This paper presents a study on the feasibility, environmental impacts, and energy recovery potential of advancing gasification-combined up and down draft gasifier- based treatment of textile waste. The objective of this study was to assess the technical and economic feasibility of this process for generating energy from textile waste as a sustainable waste management solution. The Technology used in this study is Advancing gasification, which combines Up and Down Draft Gasifiers. It can be used to treat any type of waste and in this process, textile waste is treated. The methodology involved conducting laboratory experiments to evaluate the performance of the gasification process using a Envirocycler. The study concludes that this technology can be an effective solution for managing textile waste while also generating energy from textile waste. The tar content in the flue gas of the Envirocycler has been reduced to a negligible amount compared to that of conventional models. This is because the tar particles are being arrested within the Envirocycler and burnt along with the fuel, thereby reducing downstream loading and its environmental impacts.
