[Gasification] The rewards of densification

[Benjamin Domingo Bof]

Ken this proposal is the key for charcoal making recovering volatiles:
   
  The waste heat from a diesel exhaust should reach 250C and could be
 used for 
providing the energy to drive off the volatiles.

regards

   Not only waste heat you recover; gasses are inert then you condense 
   liquids without combustion and degrading it. 
  This is the way to obtain acetic acid 
  from bamboo using carbon dioxide at 450 C.
  250C  is good also for better products obtainig an good fuel for gasification.

  Tom,

Thanks for your description about densification of biomass.

Can you give more details about the blue haze - this is not a term I am 
familiar with, do you means dense blue/white smoke?

As the volatiles are driven off, leaving the torrified wood, is there any 
means of capturing and exploiting the calorific content of the volatiles.

This seems like a good way to remove the tar fraction of the biomass, such 
that the remaining torrified biomass could be used to produce "engine grade" 
gas.

The waste heat from a diesel exhaust should reach 250C and could be used for 
providing the energy to drive off the volatiles.

regards



Ken
