Doug and all (including George),
I have received a message from a gentleman, Dr. Peter Fransham of
/Advanced Biorefinery Inc./, indicating that he may be able to help. He
noted that he "has built fluid bed reactors over the past 25 years -
most recently a unit for the University of Toronto", and should be able
to help you out. He noted that "the exact application would impact on
the design", and that the "size is (certainly) an issue". He also did
note that they do focus on biooil and biochar production from "pyrolysis
units".
Contact me offline [[email protected]] if you would like to make
the connection. (I would rather not post his contact info here.)

Hi Lloyd, Ling He, and Gasification Colleagues,
I appreciate your interest in the request from George which I hope he is
following up from your kind replies. One can only guess at the size of his
needs bearing in mind these are usually quite big systems. Maybe George can
follow up and advise us of exactly what he wants one for, so appropriate advise
can be given.
Fluidized beds certainly qualify as Pyrolysis systems, but a lot of effort has
been expended in the hope they could be kidded into creating a gas free of
condensible hydrocarbons. They can certainly make a large volume of gas fast,
but never without extensive gas cleaning. An obvious choice is to develop and
maximise their condensate production for further processing into liquid fuels
and chemical feed stock, and use the gas straight into a boiler. Having said
that, developers promoting this process seem to have a high turnover rate, and
the same gear turns up under another name once all the hype and interest dies
on the originating project.

Doug Williams,

George and Doug,

don't have a website.]
I was once told that they have a "fluidized bed gasifier". Except for
them, I have not really heard of the technology (most Fluidized Bed
systems are Pyrolysis systems [designed to make liquids] and not gasifiers).
I also knew of EnergyQuest Inc from Nevada, but the last time I
checked, their website was for sale.
Perhaps these guys have something?
