Name of Project Biomass Gasifier for Thermal Energy generation at Project -I TANFAC SIPCOT Industrial Complex Cuddalore Taluka Cuddalore District and Project –II TAHAFET, Plot No.A-17 SIDCO Industrial Estate Hosur Taluka krishnagiri District, Tamil Nadu by M/s ACCLAIM TECHNOLOGY SERVICES.
Location of the Project (Village / District / State) Project -I TANFAC SIPCOT Industrial Complex Cuddalore Taluka Cuddalore District and Project –II TAHAFET, Plot No.A-17 SIDCO Industrial Estate Hosur Taluka Krishnagiri District, Tamil Nadu
Brief Description of the Project The technology involved in this project activity is the gasification technology. The gasification is a process by which biomass is converted by a thermo-chemical process into clean gaseous form. TANFAC:TANFAC is manufacturing chemicals like Hydrofluoric acid, Aluminium Fluoride and Sulphuric acid. The thermal energy required for this chemical manufacturing process is supplied by the Carbon intensive Furnace oil (FO). TANFAC installed a biomass gasifier project to replace the thermal energy generated by the fossil fuel. The capacity of the biomass gasifier is 3.3 MW. The major biomass used for this project activity is Prosopis Juliflora. TAHAFET: TAHAFET is dealing with Heat treatment processes like tempering and hardening. TAHAFET installed a biomass gasifier project to replace the thermal energy generated by the LDO and the capacity of the biomass gasifier is 0.9 MW. The major biomass used for this project activity is Prosopis Juliflora and coconut shell.
