Rolf,

I am responding to your two messages that are repeated below.

I am definitely with you on this matter of making heat AND making char. I have lots of experience with small scale devices, and moderate experience up to 200 kW thermal.

Yes, BOTH the heat and the char are important, and help to pay for the other one.

Before taking the discussion off-list, could you please tell all of us about your needs and about your resources. No solution is free from the development costs. Does the kiln already exist (or is that another cost to be covered?) And we want to find out who else has a "burning" interest in this. (This was 2/3rds of a pun. 2/3rds is P U ; as in pew!!) (With full respect for the non-native English speakers on this listserv, here is then meaning of the joke:
Wordwizard • View topic - *PEW* !! whats that?? <http://www.wordwizard.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=63421> http://www.wordwizard.com/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?p=63421 mj (a.k.a. Michael), The word *PEW*! has been around a bit more than decades ( see ... 2) [1859] Expressing disgust at an unpleasant *smell*.

And where it happens does make a difference, such as with labor costs. You are in Mexico. In what part? Plenty of dry biomass?? Please send info. Okay if in Spanish (I can read that, and if others cannot, we will cross that bridge when necessary).

Do you know Noel C. of forestry in Mexico? Could this become a Mexico project?

Question for everyone: When "woodgas" (pyrolytic gases) come off of the biomass, what is the highest temperatures at which they can be burned? That would be with stochiometric combustion, right? Just the right amount of air.

Here I am!

To substitute gasoline or diesel in engines is technically far more difficult than a simple (?) thermal use of biomass. So why not begin with that? What challenges me would be a combination of char production and energy so that one helps to pay for the other.

Biomass can be dead cheap. Charring is be costly, if you have to stand there and wait for it on a small or medium scale, and in most cases the energy is lost.

But if you have a use for the pyrolitic energy of the volatiles, the personell attending this process ( i.g. in the case of ceramics production or asphalt smelting or whatever) could survey both.

I feel an increasing interest and demand for char in agriculture and other related fields. It's all about getting going and other applications will follow if one works!

Who helps me?

Does anyone have experience or an idea about a gasification device that can
fire a ceramic kiln to 1300 C in the 300 kW range?

Best would be a partial pyrolisis which also produces charcoal.
