Dear Crispin, I know there's not much going on in the gasifier list, but...
Additionally, please see my p.s. to Paul later in the thread. Thanks and regards, Ronald von Letztenurlaubsstunden (back to MUC this afternoon) On 02.11.2012 04:26, Crispin Pemberton-Pigott wrote:
Dear Gasifying Friends I just stopped at a rice milling plant that is about 20 km outside Battambang. It processes about 1.9 tons per hour. It is all flat belt driven and a lot of it is made of wood. The power plant is an internal combustion engine of about 200 HP. It runs on gas. The gas is supplied by a rice hull gasifier at the back of the building where there is literally a mountain of rice hull. The gasifier looks quite modern and operates in a way that is day-and-night continuous. The rice hull is fed into the vertical reactor by an auger. The reaction zone position is not exactly constant but is maintained within certain limits. The ash/char is dropped off the top into a shallow pond to quench it. I see no reason why a small stove could not be operated in the same manner: TLUD with episodic feeding from below via a plunger of some sort. Rice hull flows easily. If the primary air control is adequate a range of 1 to 4 kW would be perfect. If anyone is interested I took pictures of the whole gas system and power plant.
