They built a trailer for University of Idaho for drying wood: http://biomassmagazine.com/articles/2713/have-trailer-will-move-biomass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9lXG0jOz0A They have pulled all references to biomass drying from their website. Maybe it doesn't work as well as expected.

See this technology http://www.parkson.com/products/thermo-system .

At it's simplest this might be wheel in an open mesh side container full of moist chip, leave for a few days, take out nice dry chip and combust/gasify. The problem, of course, is that the chip will only dry towards the outside of the container. Handling costs get restrictive if you put the chip in trays and placing the chip in some kind of tumbler involves extra expense for the tumbler and also some energy (and cost) to drive the tumbler. I was in Finland a few weeks ago where I was introduced to the concept of a drying trailer where air is actively moved across a relatively small container full of chip. Apparently this can dry the chip reasonably efficiently. I might revisit the solar kiln idea using this approach. As with everything in this area for a commercial operation it's all about the cost Cheers David _______________________________________________ Gasification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenerg ylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: http://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/
