Biomass Energy Foundation: History of Woodgas
Tom Reed, Biomass Energy Foundation

See the Biomass Energy Foundation website at www.woodgas.com for history, publications and information regarding biomass gasification from small sacle to industrial syngas.

BEF director Dr. Tom Reed moderates the Gasification discussion list and is a valuable treasue of knowledge in the thermochemical converison of biomass to energy.

GAS-L: THERMAL DEGRADATION OF BIOMASS

Submitted by Erin Rasmussen on

<p>Dear Morten Gronli (and GASIFICATION):</p> <p>I read 2/3 of your 300 page thesis (A Theoretical and Experimental Study of the<br /> Thermal Degradation of Biomass) last night and put in Post-Its for various<br /> comments to talk to you about. It now looks like a porcupine. How did we ever<br /> survive without POST-ITS? </p> <p>1. Maybe you are so exhausted by having written such a magnum opus that you<br /> never want to hear about pyroysis and gasification again. I could accept that.<br />

GAS-L: Re: HTW Syn-Gas Gasifier

Submitted by Erin Rasmussen on

<p>Dear Yrjo and GASIFICATION:</p> <p>After writing about the three synthesis gas gasifiers that I knew about, I got<br /> the following message from Yrjo in Finland. </p> <p>"Message text written by Yrjo Solantausta<br /> &gt;Dear Tom,</p> <p>In your earlier posting you listed three gasifiers as near commercial for<br /> the production of syngas from biomass. I hope you do not forget the HTW, as<br /> it has been demonstrated with peat in the scale of 25 t/h. A mixture of<br />

GAS-L: Re: Methanol vs ethanol

Submitted by Erin Rasmussen on

<p>Dear Harry and All:</p> <p>Harry asked if anyone had successfully operated an oxygen biomass gasifier<br /> making synthesis gas. I know of three successful (but not commerdial)<br /> instances:</p> <p>1) At SERI (now NREL) we operated a 1 ton/day gasifier regularly on oxygen and<br /> for a short time (lock hopper problems) at 10 atmospheres. M. Graboski then<br /> scaled this up to 1 ton/hr and took data on oxygen operation for 6 months. (See<br /> our fat book, Fundamentals and scaleup....)</p>

GAS-L: Re: pressurized combustion

Submitted by Erin Rasmussen on

<p>Aerts, Parker et al:</p> <p>I found the following on my laptop three weeks after I got home, probably<br /> written in the Tokyo airport during my "extra" Saturday, courtesy of the<br /> dateline.. If I sent it before, please excuse!</p> <p>On my trip I saw a monstrous pressurized recirculating fluidized bed combustor<br /> in Finland. It was impressive as a major engineering feat. One justification<br /> is that the hot gas filtering with ceramic candles are relatively cheaper at<br />

GAS-L: Re: Small, biomass systems

Submitted by Erin Rasmussen on

<p>Dear Jane:</p> <p>Thanks for you kind comments - makes travelling and E-mail worthwhile. </p> <p>I appreciate your concern for applicability of gasification and I have the<br /> following, partly from my trip: </p> <p>(a) small systems in developing countries - most of the projects of the 1980s<br /> closed down as soon as the development engineers went home. While technical<br /> performance is not the only criterion of success, it is necessary and many of<br />
