[Gasification] Researching Charcoal gasifier power plants

[Art Krenzel]

Peter,

Why don't you try these guys.  They have been doing two stage gasification 
since 1989.

A Study on Multi-Stage Hybrid Gasifier-Engine System

S. C. Bhattacharya, San Shwe Hla, and Hoang-Luang Pham

Biomass and Bio-Energy, 2001, Vol. 21, pp. 445-460



This paper presents the results of a study on a multi-stage hybrid
biomass-charcoal gasification to produce low tar content gas for engine
application using coconut shell as a fuel. The performance of a
gasifier-engine system consisting of the hybrid biomass-charcoal gasifier,
a gas cleaning/cooling system and diesel engine is also discussed. The
lowest tar content found in hybrid coconut shell-charcoal gasification was
28 mg Nm-3. Using a spray tower, producer gas could be cooled down to 40o
C; almost tar-free gas was obtained after cooling the producer gas from the
hybrid gasifier system. A three-cylinder Perkins diesel engine was tested
at a constant speed of 1500 rpm on diesel alone and dual fuel modes of
operation. A maximum of 81% of the total heat energy input was replaced by
the producer gas at an electricity generation of 11.44 kWe.
