Dear. A.D. Karve, Careful about compressing producer gas:
>From Bear at All Power Labs http://gekgasifier.com/forums/index.php/topic/193-gas-storage/ Energy - If you want to minimize the volume, you'd think of compressing it. The energy density becomes an issue again. The energy used by the compressor seriously starts to use the potential energy in the gas you're compressing. Reversion - I don't have the specific numbers, but *CO is not stable will revert to solid carbon and O2 over time. The rate will increase with compression.* Most importantly: Safety - *The produced gas has very high levels of CO. Storing, and especially compressing, the gas leads to risks of rapid release of the gas. THIS IS NOT SAFE.** * Marc Paré B.S.
