Hi Rexn Thats cool nice you sharing video, that looks very clean compared to the pallet gastifier, i would like to have that adapted though is that possible for a irban area as oppossed to rural area isse, also whats the cost implication, thanks

But, I have not been idle! My colleague and I recently installed a wood fired gasifier running a 15kW alternator driving a 7.5kW maize mill in northern Mozambique. Here is a Facebook link for the photos and a short 15 second movie showing the plant running and milling maize: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Whitfield-Agri/391405990981929. Some of the interesting points: -> Gasifier: Trillion TG30 imported from Indonesia -> Gas cleaning: irrigated balls located in the annulus around the gasifier main shell; cyclone for droplet removal; chemically activated sawdust tar filter; sawdust safety filter and an Isuzu truck air filter as a final gas filter -> Cooling tower: Cooling is done with a tray type cooling tower with cooling water circulated by 12V bilge pumps -> Motor: 4.1 litre Chev 6 cylinder -> Alternator: 380V ST synchronous alternator with AVR -> Uses LPG gas to start the motor allowing the motor to draw the gas through the system. Once operating smoothly and gasfier glowing adequately, the LPG is slowly shut off while the air/fuel ratio is adjusted for the lower BTU syngas. This start up method works very well - takes about 5 minutes to switch over from LPG to syngas I have a lot of experience and clearly a lot more technical specs if anyone is interested. Post your queries and I will answer them so that we all learn from our experience.
