Hi All, Great post on producer gas genorators. What about producing gas from heating wood to 600 to 1400 degrees F ( pyrolysis) without burning with air? Is there any info on gas output, temps nessary and it's effect on gas output? They use it in industry to make coke from coal and charcoal from wood. It makes a hi grade/ hi btu gas that burns clean with little filtering that's simular to natural gas. I have a good deal of info on doing this with coal but haven't found much on wood. It looks like the output will mostly be 50% methane, 30% hy, some methanol,co2, ethane and co. BTW a good way to get rid of co2 is bubble it through cool water at pressure, 200 lbs +?, and it liquidfies into the water. If you're storing the gas under pressure anyway this will help you get more gas into a given tank for producer gas. It cools and cleans the gas too. Thanks for your help, jerry dycus
