Biomass is considered as renewable energy and its energy potential is promising due to the reason that biomass is a more evenly dispersed source over the earth and thus available nearly worldwide. The challenge is to remove the biomass-derived contaminants such as tar, particulates, H 2 S and HCl, alkali compounds from the product gas, and then use it for other applications. The objective is to design a proposed gas cleaning unit using ANSYS for the downdraft biomass gasifier and thereby remove the contaminants. From the simulation it was concluded that, the outlet temperature of the downdraft gasifier found from the simulation is 1285.7 K. From the simulation of the proposed cleaning unit, the outlet temperature of 1264.6 K is formed.
