United's latest venture is the Manufacturing and Supplying of Complete Turnkey Systems for Energy Generation from Renewable Sources

United has a technical collaboration with M/s Jarung & Son Co. Ltd.,Thailand for these systems.

Conservation of energy in application technology has become a vital global issue. There is a need for decentralized small-scale power generation with the locally available natural or agricultural resources. The most acceptable, low cost alternate source of energy for small-scale power generation is BIOMASS.

With the increase in costs of fuel and electricity, the cost of production in any small, medium or large scale enterprise has increased tremendously. The cost of the final end product does not increase in relation to the cost of the production. The profit thus decreases over a certain period.

The Gasifier with its ability to utilize the available bio-mass in generation of power and heat is a major source of cost saving for the enterprise.

Gasification is the Thermal Decomposition of organic matter or biomass in an oxygen deficient atmosphere producing a gas composition containing combustible gases, liquids & tars, charcoal & air or inert fluidizing gases. Typically, the term "Gasification" refers to the production of gaseous components, by reactions taking place in an oxygen-starved environment.

In a Gasifier, the biomass is exposed to high temperatures generated from the partial oxidation of carbon, primarily. As the husk is heated, the moisture is driven off. Further heating of the particle begins to drive off the volatile gases.

Discharge of these volatiles will generate a wide spectrum of hydrocarbons and long-chain Hydrocarbons comprising tars, creosotes and heavy oils etc.

The system is designed to generate power from the producer gases generated in the Gasifier in a Synchronous Mode ( 100% Producer Gas), Induction Mode or Dual Fuel Mode.

Rice husk/agricultural wastes like corn cobs, groundnut shell, wood chips etc. are fed into the top of the gasifier by means of screw conveyor.

The gasifier is down draft and made of stainless steel. The lower section has a grate consisting of several sub-grates to enable ash removal. Cooling water is circulated between the cylinders to prevent over heating of the gasifier body. The reaction takes place above the grate and the producer gas generated flows downwards and leaves at the lower portion of the gasifier.

The Scrubber and Cleaning System for the producer gas is necessary prior to the engine for cleaning/ cooling of the gas and removal of Tar.

A standard Diesel Engine is converted to a spark ignition gas engine. A control panel is attached to the engine, which enables control of a number of parameters.

The ash is collected in the tank. The water is re-circulated to the wet scrubber for cooling and ash removal.
