[Gasification] 30GJ/hour Wood Gasifier

[Zietsman, Rex]

Calling all Listers!

We have a project that requires 30GJ/hour of gas or liquid fuel. The
current idea is to use heavy furnace oil as this is the cheapest liquid
fuel available in South Africa. However, the plant is to be built in a
forest area with lots of biomass available as fuel. So using biomass to
make syngas is a strong possibility. 

Does anyone know who would be able to supply a gasifier of this size?
One of the options is to split the plant into three trains using
10GJ/hour each which may make things a bit more manageable. The
application requires hot gas at 600degC that circulates through a heat
exchanger and returns at 400degC. Some of the gas is bled off to
compensate for incoming combustion air and fuel. The incoming air is
preheated with the outgoing gas. This set up allows the gasifier to send
hot gas directly to the combustion chamber. This heat would be part of
the 30GJ as the 30GJ is the nett energy input. 

If you know of a supplier who could help, please contact me.
