Carbo Consult:Tar Free Wood Gas
Gero Eckerman November 13,2006

From Tom Reed:

I was a good friend and colleague of Gus and visited his house several times.

It is important to speak the same language. What is the tar content of your raw gas? Filtered Gas? Particulate content?

My partner Guenther Freudendahl and I are delighted about Paul Anderson's kind reference to Gus Johansson, our friend and mentor, who passed away at the age of nearly 84 on 09 March 2005.

Gus retired from his co-founder position of one of South Africa’s major civil engineering companies in 1984. To realize his dream of many decades and keep his gray matter active, he devoted all his time to invent a TAR FREE Gasifier, based on the 2nd world war Imbert down draft method. The result came swiftly: in the System Johansson, tar is cracked at ±1,500ºC --- a breakthrough of extraordinary proportions.
