[Gasification] storing wood gas.

[jim mason]

i recently asked the same question and was told woodgas doesn't store well
under pressure.  that the CO breaks down to C and CO2.

can someone fill in more details on this problem?  yes, i realize there is a
pumping efficiency issue.  but currently i am just interested in the
physical viability of storage, irrespective of the efficiency issues.

does the break down happen after x amount of time?  or is there a pressure
maximum before the problem starts?  temperature issues?  etc?

more details on the specific parameters of the problem would be much
appreciated.
