James,
We see many examples of perfectly good biomass boilers that are lost when a company owner retires or a business fails. It would be useful to have a better record of the Waterwide experience. I always felt that a moving grate would be a useful addition to the Waterwide furnace. They had a pretty compact 5-6 MMBtuh unit. Larger versions of either a pile or grate followed by a cyclonic afterburner are the Wellons cell www.wellons-usa.com, which started as a refractory pile burning cell for burning bagasse, and the Lamb-Cargate Wet Cell which became the Heuristic Envirocycler by Dr. Malcolm Lefcort, nunaenergy.com Tom From: Gasification [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Joyce Sent: Tuesday, June 16, 2015 3:38 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: Re: [Gasification] What became of the Waterwide gasifier/ close combustion system ? Thanks Doug and Tom. As always a wealth of information. I just hope we understand the commercial history of previous biomass technolgies enough that we don't fade away like so many before us have !
