Organic Recycling Systems Pilots Downdraft Gasification for Shell Waste
Organic Recycling Systems Limited (ORSL) has initiated a pilot study for a 10 kg/h Downdraft Gasification System at its NABL-accredited R&D center. This thermochemical technology aims to convert hard biomass agricultural residues, such as coconut and cashew nut shells, into clean syngas and high-grade biochar. The downdraft configuration is chosen for its low tar formation and autothermal design. ORSL is currently optimizing process parameters for four different shell types, focusing on maximizing charcoal yield and quality. If successful, ORSL plans to commercialize the technology, potentially reducing fuel costs and offering a solution for hard biomass waste management. This pilot expands ORS-RIC's research portfolio, which includes innovations in biochar, catalysts, and carbon utilization.
