IGSTC is a flagship organization in research funding opportunities for bilateral collaboration of German BMBF and Indian DST with foreign countries. IGSTC has its 12th birthday and the impressing 2+2 projects of different research groups presented their p ...
Layout Plan of Pilot Plant
The layout plan of PYRASOL pilot-scale plan was completed over the past few months after multiple discussions and online conferences amongst CLRI, ISAH, Biomacon and Ramky. In the meantime, the pyrolysis unit was fabricated and delivered to CLRI by Biomac ...
Completion of Pilot-Scale Dryer Design
The pilot-scale dryer design and 3-d modelling was completed. The dryer features a solar updraft system with underfloor heating from the exhaust heat of the slow pyrolysis process. This pilot-scale dryer will be constructed and deployed in CLRI campus in ...
Masters Thesis Completed – DOM from Biochar
Masters thesis titled "Extraction and Analysis of Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) from Biochar Samples " was completed as part of the PYRASOL project. Biochar (BC) has been immensely used in soil and water remediation. Its application depends on its phy ...

Completion of Pyrolysis Reactor Design
A C63-F pyrolysis machine is designed and installed for the project. The machine is already manufactured in Rehburg-Loccum and fitted in a container. For condensing technology, an exhaust gas heat exchanger is externally related and adapted to the system ...
Design of Pilot Scale Solar Chimney
The evaporation rate (rev) within the controlled solar drying environment is predicted through vapour balance equation in order to estimate the drying rate (rd. The solar drying model of Seginer & Bux is used for the estimation of humidity ratio diffe ...
Lab Scale Drying Experiments
The laboratory-scale solar drying system consists of an aluminium frame and polycarbonate panels for the walls and roof, as shown in Appendix xx. The drying system is 4.00 m long and 1.20 m wide in total and 0.80 m high on the low side and 1.20 m high on ...
