Foreword

Introduction
With the increasing price of fuel in the market, operating
petrol engines became prohibitive to farmers that rely heavily
on engine-powered pump for water supply. Thus, a similar
system of tapping the energy from rice hull for small-scale
applications such as the gasifier engine pump system is a
sound alternative for farmers.

Why Develop Gasifier?
3
Gasifier History
4
Stationary Gasifier Model
Height of stationary
gasifier model is
2.5 meters with 2x3
meters floor area
Outstanding Features
►► Uses rice hull biomass as source of energy to replace
conventional petrol fuel
►► Sustainable and environment friendly
►► Can be used for other stationary applications (rice milling,
generator set, battery charging)
►► Carbonized Rice Hull by product can be used for making
organic fertilizer and other applications (as soil conditioner, for
mulching, briquette, etc)
Performance data of stationary gasifier system
Parameters Open water source
Ricehull load requirement 6.5 kg per batch
Ignition time, min 3
Start up time, min 3
Operating time, hr 1.5
Discharge rate 6.5-9.0 L per sec
Temperature inside the reactor 350-800oC
Engine rating 6.5 kw
Pump size 3 inches diameter
Labor requirement 1 person

Field Performance
7
►► With 2,000 rpm average engine speed
►► With average discharge rate of 7.5 L/s and 5.1 L/s for
open source and shallow tube well, respectively
►► Produces clean natural gas suited for gasoline engine
►► Can be used for pumping water in different locations
►► For different applications such as water pumping, rice
milling, and power generation

Operation of the System
1. Set up the water pump. Connect the suction hose from its water
source to the inlet of water pump. Fasten the connections with
tie rubber and seal it with mud ensuring that there are no leaks
in the connection to facilitate continuous discharge of water.

b. Set the engine speed of about ¾ of its maximum engine
rpm (about 2500 rpm). Use the air valve to manage the
engine speed. Feed water in the outlet pipe of the pump
until discharge of water is started.
3. Check and fill water in the water shield basin of the reactor,
gas tank and scrubber. Use the water discharged from the
pump. Make sure that the water to be filled in the scrubber
is free from dirt to avoid clogging of its sprinkler.
10
4. Load and ignite rice hull inside the reactor.
11
6. Unloading of consumed rice hull and re-firing of another load
of rice hull. It is done when burned rice hull is already observed
on the top of the reactor.
12
7. Others to consider
13
8. Repeat procedure 4 to 7 for the next batches of operation.
Continuous water pumping operation is possible by switching
fuel use during unloading of consumed rice hull and re-firing
of another load of rice hull.
9. After irrigating the area, let the system consume all the loaded
ricehull in producing gas to power the engine. Switch off the
gasifier system (closing gas valve) and run the engine using
gasoline fuel for 2 min to remove dirt inside the engine.
Switch off the engine. Clean and adjust the components safe
for storage. Collect the CRH waste for other uses.
Assumptions: Open source of water; 5-year lifespan for gasifier, gasoline and
diesel pump system; annual use of 557, 354.5, and 300 hr for gasifier, gasoline,
and diesel engine, respectively; fuel consumption of 1L/hr for gasoline and
diesel engines and 0.1L/hr of gasoline for gasifier; P1/kg of rice hull; fuel price
of P51.6 –regular gasoline & P40.7 – diesel as of February 2011.
