Biomass Gasification

    This process involves the partial combustion of solid biomass fuel to form producer gas that has a variety of uses and can even replace conventional fossil fuels. Gasifiers come in capacities ranging from few 10s of KW and up to 5-6 MW. These can be used for thermal applications and also for power generation when combined with engine, alternator and other systems. We offer appropriate solutions based on application.

Versatile Applications

    Producer gas generated from gasification can be put to a variety of uses, as under:

• Thermal - Heating applications
• Power Generation
• Combination of Heat and Power

Thermal Applications

    Devices such as Furnaces, Hot Air Dryers, Kilns, Boilers and Thermic Fluid Heaters can be retrofitted, for cost effective generation of Thermal Energy. Typical thermal applications where biomass gasifiers have been successfully used include –

• Aluminium Melting
• Biscuit making furnace
• Metal heat treatment
• Crumb rubber preparation
• Hot air generators
• Fluidized bed driers
• Rotary kilns/ fluidized bed driers for sand drying in recovery of beach

     Energy Plantations

    A lot of biomass power plants suffer from lack of raw-material and fuel,namely good quality biomass.To offset this problem we have developed a variety of good quality fuel-grade biomass crops that can be cultivated in appropriate soil conditions to provide for biomass based power plants. Acclaim can proudly claim to be one of the pioneers in the field of Bio-fuel production using Non edible Sources of feed stock. What started off as a corollary to the biomass gasification programme has now taken root so as to be considered as one of the primary areas of operation.

    The company has supported research and development into each of these various fields, for the purpose of applying scientific methodology to the design, development, processing and distribution of alternative biofuels, the generation/distribution of bio-energy and the processing of by-products.

Acclaim mandates

• Multiplication and supply of seed orchards, Tissue culture
• Isolation and standardization of protocol for tissue culture
• Multiplication of growing media, and specific strains.
• Standardization of package of practices based high yield and good quality biomass in the field through
• Integrated water management
• Integrated plant protection technology
• Integrated nutrient management
• Integrated weed management
• Identification of high value intercrops according to the available facilities

Some of the species that are being propagated are

• Melia Dubia
• Acacia
• Casuarina
• Eucalyptus
• Prosopis Juliflora
• Bamboo
• Elephant Grass (King Grass)

    It is to be noted that these "Energy Plantations" are stand-alone profit centers

Briquette Making

    Certain forms of powdery and loose bio-material have to be converted to briquettes before they can be used in conventional biomass gasifiers. Keeping this end in mind we also supply screw and ram type briquetting machines to end-users so that they can run their power plants successfully using a variety of biomass feed-stocks.

Major Agro wastes that may be densifed

• Bamboo dust
• Bagasse
• Cashew shells
• Coir pith
• Castor seed shells
• Tamarind shells
• Saw dust
• Cotton stalks
• Groundnut shells
• Rise husks
• Castor husks
• Coffee bean husks
• Pine needles
• Corn waste

Technical Specification

• Max. Briquettes Diameter : 90 mm
• Briquettes Length : 100 mm - 500 mm
• Production Capacity : 250 to 350 Kg/hr. *
• Raw- material size : Max. 20 mm
• Moisture content of Raw Material : Max. 10 % (If RM has higher Moisture it has to be dried)

Bio-methanation

    This is the process of converting most types of organic bio-degradable waste to produce Biogas,that contains a high percentage of Methane and can be used a fuel to replace some conventional fossil fuels. This involves a 2-stage process where waste material can be converted to useful gaseous fuel and an end-matter that can be used as high quality manure for crops.

Waste that are common in house hold kitchens, hotels, canteens, garbage dump and garden are:

• Raw vegetable refuse
• Stale cooked and un-cooked food
• Extracts from tea powder
• waste milk and milk products
• Paper waste
• Leaf litter
• Animal remains in Abattoirs
• Hospital waste (other than plastics/Metals)
• Green plant waste
• Cattle dung and bird litter

    Bharath Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has incorporated two important modifications in the basic design of conventional bio-gas plants in their Nisargruna biogas Plant to accelerate the activity of thermophillic microorganisms in particular and microbial activity in general to speed up the process and ensure complete decomposition at a faster pace. In BARC technology, we can input paper, dry leaves, green grass and animal remains while we use mainly Gobar the conventional bio gas plant. This is a patented technology and Acclaim Technology Services India Limited, are the strategic Partners to promote the technology.

Solar PV and CSP

    A lot of countries in the world have very high solar radiation that can be tapped either for generating power or for heating and cooling based process applications. Solar PV technologies produce power using solar panels and are of many types. CSP involves concentrating sun's rays to a focal point or a line to provide for heating applications or can be combined with a VAM for cooling also.

      We offer end-to-end Solar PV and CSP solutions covering

Bio-char based fertilizers

    Bio-char has an interesting property of promoting the growth of crops. This is because it absorbs all the nutrients and releases them slowly to the soil and also prevents leaching. We have access to a process that is a modified form of gasification that produces bio-char based fertilizers that in some cases fares even better than conventional organic fertilizers. This adds a lot of value to the farmers and cultivators.

We have successfully provided carbonization solutions for waste pressmud from Sugar industry as well as chicken litter which have hitherto been a source of pollution and nuisance to Sugar and poultry industry respectively.

      Benefits of Chicken litter Carbonisation

1. Increases storage properties and shelf life.

2. Halts degradation of litter and locks in moisture and organic and inorganic nitrogen

3. compounds.

4. Improves transportability and reduces cost of transportation.

5. Biochar in bedding material reduces toxic ammonia pollution in coops

6. Biochar promotes digestion, improves feed efficiency, and thus in particular energy absorption via the feed.

7. Addition of biochar in the feed improves growth in young animals .
