Dear Paul O.
Your example of use of TLUD heat is of great interest. Could you
please expand on it as a small Word document or PowerPoint, with some
photos? A functioning example is worth 10 in the discussion process.
Thanks,
Paul A.

Note that it is not necessary to pelletize rice hulls or coffee husks.
They gasify quite well in their undensified state. But pelletizing
makes transport so much easier, and pelletizing becomes essential when
long, uninterrupted batch cycles are needed. In one commercial setting
in Saigon, ten of my small gasifiers were set up in a single paint
drying facility. The reactors are loaded with rice hull pellets, and
the batch cycle in this case lasts for more than five hours. The
factory is now in a position to sell rice hull biochar to local
farmers at a higher price than the pellets from which the biochar was
derived. No more bottled gas is used in this facility. The owner of
this factory just bought a small pellet machine and will start making
his own rice hull pellets. He will soon become an important producer
of rice hull biochar, and the gas he needs to fuel his paint-drying
facility is for free.
