[Gasification] Universal Catalyst-published info?

[Thomas Reed]

Dear Tom:

There is an extensive chapter on the catalytic  tar cracking we did in 
the 1980s in our book
*/
FUNDAMENTALS, DEVELOPMENT, AND SCALE UP OF THE AIR-OXYGEN STRATIFIED 
DOWNDRAFT GASIFIER:/* T. Reed, M. Graboski and B. Levie (SERI 1988). In 
1980 the Solar Energy Research Institute initiated a program to develop 
an oxygen gasifier to make methanol from biomass. A novel air/oxygen low 
tar gasifier was designed and studied for five years at SERI at 1 ton/d 
and for 4 years at Syn-Gas Inc. in a 25 ton/day gasifier. This book 
describes the theory and operation of the two gasifiers in detail and 
also discusses the principles and application of gasification as learned 
over eight years by the author-gasifier team.

at WoodGas.com.

We found that most catalysts take tarry gas from other gasifiers down to 
the same level that downdraft gasifiers make without catalysis.
Keep Chuggin'
