High Efficiency and Less Pollutant Power PlantsUsing Biomass Mixed with Municipal Solid Waste and coal Dust
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Computer and Communication Technology - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
This paper deals with the new component of fuel which is used to generate the power with higher efficiency and lesser pollutants. The new component is the mixture of biomass (husk) and MSW and coal dust in the ratio of 60:40(40% is the mixture of coal dust and MSW).This paper will also discuss about which is the better component of fuel. With the advancement in technology the power consumption is rising steadily. This necessitates that in addition to the existing source of power such as coal, water, petroleum etc. other sources of energy should be searched out and new and more efficient ways of producing energy should be devised. Power generation from biomass and MSW (municipal solid waste) becomes attractive way for energy generation due to their high energy potential and less pollutants. Present work deals with the determination of proximate analysis of different components, such as wood, leaf and nascent branch and energy content of different components ofpaddy husk hypogea (local name-peanut, ground nut) shells are for the biomass and Municipal solid waste (MSW) refers to the stream of garbage collected through community sanitation services. Medical wastes from hospitals and items that can be recycled are generally excluded from MSW used to generate electricity. These biomass components separately mixed with coal dust and MSW in different-different ratio and also their proximate analysis has done and their energy values are determined to find out the best suitable mixture for power generation. Estimation has been made for power generation potential of these biomass species and MSW and coal dust mixed for a small thermal power plant on decentralized basis. As it is evident from result that both the biomass species has less ash content and high volatile matter when mixes with MSW in the ratio of 60:40. In the 60:40 ratios the major component of biomass is the paddy husk and remain part of fuel is MSW and coal dust, due to that when it mixes with coal, the calorific value of mixture increase as the quantity of paddy husk biomass increases in the mixture of coal-biomass.
