Dear Arnt,
When we distill wood vinegar, actually very little tar comes to the
collection tank, rest of the tar either stays in the pipes (has to be
cleaned every month). This collection is done while the wood or
briquettes are drying in the chamber. Wood vinegar has no tar, for soil
enrichment and ph control, it is diluted with water 1/100 or 200. It can
also be used as pest control if diluted 1/300-500, just spray on the
leaves and fruits. About 5-10 cc is put in to bath tub to clean the
body, it is the main ingredient used in detox pads. When the wood gas
start coming out, the chimney which is connected to the retort chamber
is closed and we start burning wood gas in retort's fire chamber to keep
heating the wood until the gas is finished, by than wood become
charcoal. If this wood gas could be harnessed, as Tom says there is a
huge amount of energy is there.
So far I have tried couple of ways but not successful, and still trying...
Regards,
Robert
