Technology Support System Project’s team. Said project is being executed by Centre of Advanced

Studies in Energy, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad. The project is resourced

by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Global Environmental Facility

(GEF). Silent features of project are:

Capacity building and strengthening of small and medium enterprises to adopt the BGTs to fulfill

energy requirements

Strengthening the coordination between financial institutes, educational institutes, technology

providers and SMEs to establish renewable energy sources especially BGTs

Strengthening the research and development facilities of educational institutes and technology

providers

Training of SMEs and technology providers about installation of biomass gasifiers

Encouraging and strengthening local technology providers to fabricate biomass gasifiers

Sensible use of biomass for sustainable and uninterrupted electric supply

Capacity building of SMEs about environmental implications of use of biomass in conventional

ways

7.1. Welcome Address Dr. Ehsan Ali, Principal Investigator On behalf of Centre of Advance Studies in Energy, I warmly welcome all the participants who travelled

all the way from different cities. This training workshop will comprise of four working sessions, which

will be about biomass, properties, drying, pellets, briquettes, biomass gasification, instrumentation,

cleaning and cooling, applications, operation, maintenance, operational problems and solutions, safety

and costs of biomass gasifier as well as energy produced by biomass gasification process. The workshop

will have an interactive environment and all the participants will be encouraged to participate. Practical

demonstration of biomass gasifier will be given and we are optimistic that all the technology providers

will try to replicate the design of existing biomass gasifier.

Let me introduce to the trainers of today’s training workshop, Engineer Iftikhar Ahmed Raja and Dr.

Manzoor Ahmed will be trainers of today’s workshop. Once again I am obliged for your participation in

this training workshop.

7.2. Working Session 1 Engineer Iftikhar Ahmed Raja, Energy and Environment Consultant

First working session was about introduction of biomass, properties of biomass, drying of biomass,

pallets and briquettes of biomass. Basics of every topic were told to the participants and details were

elaborated. Complete presentation is annexed as –Annex 2.

7.3. Working Session 2 Dr. Manzoor Ahmed, Chairman, Department of Farm Machinery and Power, University of Agriculture,

Faisalabad

Gasification is basically a thermochemical process which converts biomass materials into gaseous

component. The result of gasification is the producer gas (synthesis gas), containing carbon monoxide,

carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, and some other inert gases.

Gasification is the most efficient process for utilizing biomass as energy. A syngas with less heating

contents have been produced from simple gasification. In the process of gasification solid organic

feedstock converted into mixture of gases, in oxygen deficit environment and at high temperature. This

mixture of gases is called producer or synthesis gas. Gasification process produced different products

like solid ashes, partially oxidised material like soot, tars and syn/producer gas. The main flammable

components of the resulting syn gas are carbon mono oxide (CO) and hydrocarbons.

We have designed a biomass gasifier which has a capacity of 16 KWh. That was solely to run the tube

wells and can fulfil the requirements of a common farmer. I will be happy if our design will be up scaled

and utilized for future endeavours. Detailed presentation is annexed as – Annex 3.

7.4. Practical Demonstration Practical demonstration of updraft and downdraft biomass gasifier was given in workshop of

Department of Farm Machinery and Power, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Following procedure

was adopted for demonstration;

Both gasifiers were filled with feed stock (one with cob residue and one with rice husk)

Flame was made with natural gas

Flame was inserted to ignite the biomass present within the biomass gasifiers in presence of all

participants

Biomass was allowed to combust in combustion chamber

Gas outlet was checked whether producer gas is coming outside or not by igniting a match stick

near outlet

All the participants were told about possible hazards and troubleshooting

7.5. Working Session 3 Engineer Iftikhar Ahmed Raja, Energy and Environment Consultant

Third session of the training workshop was about Operation, Maintenance, Operational Problems and

Solutions, Safety and Costs of biomass gasifier. Complete operation and maintenance tools were

elaborated as per guidelines present in BGT manual. Operational problems and solutions were keenly

demonstrated in presentation. Safety measures and cost of biomass gasifier was comprehensively

elobrated by the trainer. Complete presentation is annexed as – Annex 2.

Concluding Session Concluding session of training workshop was a ceremony, which was chaired by Professor Dr. Mahmood

Ahmed, Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy & Alternative Medicine, The Islamia University Bahwalpur.

Selected participants from industry, academia, global environment facility (GEF) and ministry of climate

change gave their feedback on workshop and appreciated the initiative to cope the energy challenges in

Pakistan.

Dr. Mahmood Ahmed said “I welcome Dr. Ehsan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed Raja other team members from

Islamabad, Dr. Manzoor Ahmad and his team from Faisalabad and participants from other districts of

Southern Punjab to the Islamia University of Bahawalpur”.

He added, “It provides me great comfort to know that people sitting in Islamabad plan and implement

projects for rural and remote areas like Southern Punjab. The GEF funded project, “Promoting

sustainable energy through biomass in Pakistan” is indeed a need of the day. And NUST no doubt is the

best implementing partner that UNIDO could have for “Capacity Building and Strengthening of Biomass

Gasification Technology Support Systems”.

I am pleased to know that Pakistan already has experts in this emerging field such as Dr. Manzoor

Ahmed and Engineer Iftikhar Ahmed Raja. I have been told that the gasifiers being used for

demonstration here have been designed by the Faisalabad Agriculture University, which is very

encouraging.

This is time when we should seriously be looking towards shifting from traditional energy sources to

renewable technologies. Biomass is abundantly available and we should make maximum use of it to

overcome the current energy crisis.

The Islamia University of Bahawalpur actively participates in any activities of adopting to the renewable

sources of energy. I encourage all the participants who are going to be sensitized, oriented and trained

in the use of gasifiers for generating energy through use of biomass, to adopt this technology as much as

possible”.
