Abstract

With energy demand and for promoting the energy supply to remote areas the fuel from biomass initiative is carried. Gasification technology is an efficient conversion technique for biomass resources to energy. The production of producer gas by gasification are used for various applications including electricity generation. Utilization of the Producer gas for applications involves the flow of gas through pipes from reactor to applications. During the flow, the producer gas is subjected to wet scrubbers and passes through various filters for gas clean-up. The pipelines suffer corrosion due to moisture deposits and chemical components in the Producer gas. In this paper, the influence of producer gas to the inner surface of pipelines in downdraft gasifiers is investigated. The inlet pipe exhibits reduction ranging 68 to 72 HRB in the hardness comparing to the outlet pipe ranging 77 to 78 HRB from the coarse filters.
