Leland I 100 % agree.

I was not aware that PRM has done fluidized bed systems, but fixed bed only. Fluidized beds are for engineers, not projects, they are too complicated to operate, have serious issues with feed properties and correct operation, ash separation and removal, and other unnecessary complications.

Fra: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]På vegne af Ronald Bailey Sendt: 28. september 2012 18:03 Til: Discussion of biomass pyrolysis and gasification Emne: [Gasification] 5M GASIFIERS Thomas, See attachments. Tom------------ Dear Tom: PRME has installed nine (10) PRME Gasifiers that are greater than 5.0 meters in diameter. Oldest have been operating around the clock for 16 years. Regards,Ron Bailey [email protected]http://www.prmenergy.com Thomas, The largest diameter updraft gasifiers that have been built in the US are 2 m fluidized beds. EPI (now Outotec) and others built them in the 1980s when there was a tax incentive for gasification. The same companies have built 4-5 m combustors but I don’t know of any gasifiers that size. The new syngas gasifiers are intended to be that size but nothing has been built. The plasma enhanced updrafts by AlterNRG (e.g. Westinghouse gasifier) in Turkey and India may be that large. Ebara in Japan may also have something that large.
