Abstract
In this work, a closed top throatless downdraft gasifier has been designed, constructed and an attempt has been made to evaluate its performance using coconut shell. The fuel properties of coconut shells and its gasiï¬cation feasibility for closed top thoatless fixed-bed downdraft gasiï¬er were investigated. The distinctive feature of the gasifier is that it can operate successfully on coconut shell with a producer gas lower heating value (LHV) of 5.96 MJ/m3 and negligible clinker formation. The gasifier performed best at an equivalence ratio of 0.332 was determined at an air flow rate of 0.00092 m3/s and coconut shell consumption rate of 0.000557 kg/s. From the results obtained, coconut shells were successfully used as feedstock in the gasiï¬er. Satisfactory operation was obtained. Gasiï¬cation of coconut shells could provide required thermal input, with clean fuel to the rural communities in Nigeria.Index Terms—Coconut she...
