Dear all, I would be happy to share some publications arising from the following activities at the Asian Institute of Technology:
1. Sida funded Regional project: An information package (including construction details) on biomass briquetting machines developed in a number of Asian countries and design of natural- cross-draft gasifier stoves that can operate continuously is available. The briquetting machines developed were improvements on standard screw-press heated die design. Cross-flow gasifier stoves were designed for different sizes; these do not need any blower and can operate continuously without any smoke. 2. GTZ funded project on Biocoal: We used the term "Biocoal" (rather than "Biochar") for charcoal produced from solid organic residues such as agricultural residues and waste wood. The findings of the project were reported in a book titled "Biocoal Technology and Economics" by "Regional Energy Resources Information Center (RERIC)" (email:[email protected]). The chapters of the 495-page book were: 1. State of the art of biocoal technology, 2. Biocoal technology: A comparison of options and recommendations, 3. Carbonisation of sawdust briquettes, 4. Laboratory-scale batch carbonisation selected residues, 5. Cost and availability of selected residues in Thailand, 6. Characterisation of selected residues, 7. Biocoal: Market requirements and Opportunities in Thailand, and 8. Economics of biocoal production in Thailand. A few copies of the book are still available with RERIC. A number of chapters of the book were summarised as journal articles; I will be happy to share some of these with interested persons for their personal use and research purpose. S.C.
