: Re: [Biofuel] Glycerine as fuel Hello Bill. If the purpose of gasification is only providing thermal energy for the chicken house with the disposal of chicken manure (and glycerine) as added bonus, the biomass couldbe gasifiedwith a simple updraftgasifier, This will certainly

2005-06-04 Thread Bill Clark
Hi to all, Yesterday I visited a small wood veneer operation using a wood gasification unit to produce steam which heats the veneer driers. They had previously been using LPG as a fuel source. The increase in the price of LPG was threatening to put them out of business. With the help of a

Bill, One would imagine that a gasifier would reduce all components of the glyc cocktail to syn gas and char. Gasification is a novel thought to reducing that waste/co-product to nill though. No addition of anything. No chemical refining. No new energy inputs. No disposal problem with the

Any concerns to possible toxic emissions...as with the concern of some SVOers? I have heard that some nasty toxins are produced by the burning of crude glycerin..although I have no data on it. Perhaps it is temperature (of combustion) related..and hence not an issue with a gasifier? At 10:13

Acrolein is a co-/by-product of incomplete combustion of glycerol. One would think that at ~2,000* F (the Wood Gun) the combustion process would be complete. Todd Swearingen R Del Bueno wrote: Any concerns to possible toxic emissions...as with the concern of some SVOers? I have heard that
