  Subject: [Gasification] To all... a question


  As a novice to gasification, I have been absorbing the enlightening info on 
this forum.  Here's my question: Is it possible to design a single reactor 
vessel to intake woody biomass (@30% moisture) and output syngas, torrefied 
woody biomass and biochar in a continuous process and maintain self-sustaining 
combustion without returning a portion of the syngas to aid combustion?  

  # The short answer is: Absolutely not.

  My gut feeling (and my novice number crunching) says it can be done.  Am I 
overly optimistic?  

  # The short answer is: Yes

  Are there any such systems in use today?

  # I feel that such a task is impossible.

  Thanks in advance for any additional enlightenment.

  # It is usually far more difficult to build a system doing many tasks, than 
it is to build a"single purpose process equipment piece."

  Best wishes,

  Kevin
