Interesting post, Doc. The report is nicely written.
You ran into a problem I saw in Cambodia in December: combustion
products from gasifiers destroying galvanized metal very quickly.
A prototype rice husk gasifier at a person's house had eaten through the
galvanized roofing in a matter of weeks. This same person had been using
charcoal stoves in the kitchen for years without issue.
Crispin suggested that it could be high moisture content in the rice
husk fuel vs. the charcoal. I thought it might also have to do with
sulfur content.
Anyhow, I think it's an interesting further observation of the
difficulty of material selection in combustion systems. I would have
thought that after combustion, the products would be "clean" enough to
not do significant damage to metal. Not the case, it seems!

The principle investigator and author, Mr. Aurelien Herail, is with us
at the GACC Forum this week in Phnom Penh. A field trip of the
conference will visit this facility on Thursday.
We will be busy this week, but will try to respond to discussions
about these papers. Please consider Subject lines that reflect the
specific topic of any responses.
