Feasibility of Gasification of Used Vegetable Oil as Fuel for Ci Engine

The edible oil production in India is 72 MT in 2016-2017. Traditionally the vegetable oil has been reused several times before it has been disposed in the drainage. Even 10% of the oil enters in sewage system creates clogs in pipes, foul odour, reduction of oxygen concentration in the water. Several...

Summary:The edible oil production in India is 72 MT in 2016-2017. Traditionally the vegetable oil has been reused several times before it has been disposed in the drainage. Even 10% of the oil enters in sewage system creates clogs in pipes, foul odour, reduction of oxygen concentration in the water. Several treatment techniques including production of biodiesel from waste vegetable oil has been deployed but due to high cost, it has not been successfully deployed. Hence the special investigation aims in developing the decentralized waste vegetable oil gasification system which can be a substitute for diesel in CI engine. A continuous flow of gasifier for waste vegetable oil has been designed and tested. The producer gas has been analyzed continuously using engine producer gas analyzer for its feasibility in admitting CI engine.
