DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Sampson Mamphweli (University of Fort Hare)\nBiomass
  gasification for electricity generation has attracted much attention over
  the past few years. This is due to the fact that biomass is a renewable r
 esource\, which is also considered to be carbon neutral. However electrici
 ty generation using biomass gasifiers can only be technically and economic
 ally achieved at small scale using downdraft gasifier systems\, which prod
 uce gas that has very little quantities of tar. This paper presents the te
 chnical and operational challenges experienced in biomass gasification for
  electricity generation. The data was collected at the System Johansson Bi
 omass Gasifier installed by Eskom. NDIR and Pd/Ni gas sensors were used to
  measure the gas profiles while type K thermocouples were used to measure 
 the temperature in the reactor. This paper presents the performance monito
 ring results including the gasifier operating conditions\, fuel properties
 \, gas profiles as well as gas heating value and cold gas efficiency.\n\nh
