I spend 3 years at the technical university in Denmark to build a 50-100 kg straw pyrolysis unit. I could not find any documents in English but here is a Danish reference about the demo plant that came out of it. - http://www.videncenter.dk/gule%20halm%20haefte/Gul_Dansk/halm-DK09.pdf
I was far too complicated to be commercial. We tried to gasify straw with very little success in various smaller gasifier. Slagging and channelling and high carbon content in the ash was some challenges. Some years ago a project was upscaled to 6 MW - but there was some thing wrong with the ash discharge principle. The K stayed in the bed and it was not possible to operate the gasifier long enough to complete this project and approx. half the funding was returned and the project stopped with out any results. https://energiforskning.dk/sites/energiteknologi.dk/files/slutrapporter/10730_gasolution_final_report.pdf And in the same period charloss was renamed to BioCCS. We did not find any easy solutions - but we only spend a few hundreds mio dollars :-) ________________________________ Fra: Gasification [[email protected]] på vegne af Leland Taylor [[email protected]] Sendt: 24. december 2017 04:23 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: [Gasification] Straw Fueled CHP Energy Farmers of Australia has very little specific information on their "projects" which is disappointing. By producing bio=char, you have a built in limit of energy conversion because bio-char or pyrolytic char represents the 30% fixed carbon in organic matter and is the overall thermal conversion is intrinsically limited by this loss. I am still of the opinion that long term "recycling" of crop residue which is what bio-char is has limited benefits from other nutrient depletion. Sincerely, Leland T.

I directed him to this list, so he may be party to the conversation anyway. A mutual friend was Business Development Officer for the Council out there and was trying help progress for both Euan and myself. Euan told me he knew these guys. https://www.facebook.com/Green-Distillation-Technologies-427038147363145/ Best Regards Jason Stewart http://intensifire.co.nz On Sat, Dec 23, 2017 at 5:28 PM, DARYL JOHN SCHERGER <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks Tom, I've received a few good leads and hopefully one of them will prove suitable.

The outputs needed are 150 kWe net and 350 kWt. I would like references from operating plants, preferably in Australia, Europe or North America, to confirm the reliability of their systems. Any suggestion will be gratefully received. Yours sincerely, Daryl Scherger. _______________________________________________ Gasification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: http://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/ ________________________________ _______________________________________________ Gasification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: http://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/ _______________________________________________ Gasification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: http://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/ _______________________________________________ Gasification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenergylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: http://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/
