Can bamboo be used for electricity？

There are 1,500 species of bamboo and over 20 million bamboo and manzanita forests worldwide. Bamboo has been recognized as the fastest growing plant species in the world and has properties very conducive to gasification and synthesis of gasoline and diesel.

What are the advantages of bamboo for power generation?
Bamboo provides a variety of advantageous fuel characteristics, including a low ash content and alkali index. Its calorific content exceeds that of the majority of grasses, straws, and agricultural leftovers. In addition to its high biomass productivity, self-regeneration, sustainable base, and environmental friendliness, bamboo should be regarded as the best of other known biomass resources. A member of the grass family Gramineae, bamboo is primarily found in warm, tropical, and subtropical climates, where it is occasionally a very significant part of the vegetative cover. The East Asian monsoon region has the highest concentration of it.

What are the two ways of generating electricity from bamboo?
The two methods of producing electricity from bamboo are gasification and ordinary burning. Gasification is appropriate for producing modest amounts of electricity, such as in isolated off-grid locations. Conventional combustion is advised for larger-scale power generation, such as in companies that need a lot of heating and cooling. The method is particularly suited for wood processing companies like sawmills or district heating systems because it produces both heat and power.

What parts should be included in the raw material criteria for bamboo power generation?

1.The moisture of the biomass loaded into the gasifier is much higher than the moisture determined by proximate analysis.

2.Proximate analysis, i.e. determination of moisture, ash, volatiles and fixed carbon.

3.determination of the bulk density of the biomass used in the gasification process

4.Flow characteristics of biomass and its physical behavior.

5.Dimensional analysis depending on the type of biomass and the size of the gasifier.

6.Ash melting point both initial deformation and hemispheres.

7.Reactivity of the material.

8.Stability of the material in water and under heat.

9.The physical shape of the biomass.

The varied moisture content of the biomass, which is dependent on the ambient equilibrium moisture content, is another restriction encountered during the gasification of various materials. The final moisture level after extended storage may not fall below 30% at 60% RH. Newly cut wood has a moisture content of 50–55 percent, which evaporates during storage. Similar to bamboo, newly cut bamboo has about 40% moisture, which quickly drops to 30% after storage. It has been observed that bamboo dries out water significantly more quickly than wood. Therefore, depending on the weather and atmospheric conditions, the outcome of gasification, particularly the production of gas, fluctuates from day to day.

What are the advantages of Haiqi gasification power plant?

1.The Haiqi gasification power plant can gasify a variety of biomass resources, including rice husk, wood and woody materials, agricultural waste such bagasse, maize cobs, wheat, and corn stalks, bamboo and bamboo waste, etc. As a result, it is a multi-fuel system created to process biomass in particular situations, like bamboo, that has a lower ash melting point. Although it can reach up to 40% to45%, biomass typically has a moisture content of less than 35%.

2.It has a continuous operating system that enables round-the-clock, twenty-four-hour operation.

3.It is attached to a special kind of gas purification system that uses several purification steps to lower the gas’s particle matter and tar content to under 10 mg/Nm3.
4.The gas’s calorific value can always be kept between 1,250 and 1,350 kcal/Nm3.

5.The gasification system is completely automated, ensuring effective operation and requiring little staff.

6.The gasifier can be configured as a standalone, decentralized system.

7.Haiqi Energy is in charge of operating the facility to the customer’s satisfaction through maintenance services.
