What is the correct sequence of concentration of various components of producer gas?

(A) CH₄

(B) CO₂

(C) CO

(D) N₂

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Key Points

•  Producer Gas
  • Producer gas is fuel gas that is manufactured by blowing a coke or coal with air and steam simultaneously.
  • It is a mixture of Gases that contain carbon monoxide Gas, carbon dioxide Gas, nitrogen Gas, and Hydrogen Gas.
  • From these Gases, carbon monoxide Gas and Hydrogen Gas are combustible Gases.
  • While carbon dioxide and nitrogen Gases are non-combustible Gases.
  • Percentage Composition of Producer Gas
    • The percentage composition of Producer Gas is discussed below:
    • Carbon dioxide = around 3%
    • Hydrogen Gas = 10 % to 15 %
    • Carbon monoxide = 22 % to 30 %
    • Nitrogen Gas N₂ = 50 % to 55 %
    • Non-combustible Gases form the major portion of the Producer Gas

​Therefore the correct answer is (D) > (C) > (B) > (A)
