Biomass Gasification
SEE HOW A GASIFIER WORKS! >> Choren Gasification Illustrated Animation
Biomass Gasification is one of the oldest forms of producing gas from organic solids.
Thus it is called "Producer Gas" and is a generic term referring to:
Wood gas : produced in a gasifier to power cars with ordinary internal combustion engines.
Town gas : manufactured gas, originally produced from coal in a gasifier, for sale to consumers and municipalities.
Gasification is the single, most-tolerant method of converting biomass to useful forms (except for a crackling campfire).

Pyrolysis And Gasification
Gasification products we can make:
Syngas
Methanol
Bio-Diesel
Butanol
140 Octane Iso-Benzene
104 Octane Oxygenated Gasoline
Diesel Fuel (DME -dimethyl ether)
Electrical Power
0% Sulfur - 0% Aromatics
The fuel used:
MSW - municipal solid waste
Agricultural waste
Tires
Animal by-products
Most process waste
Construction wastes
Waste-water sludge
Combination of biomass gasification and Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is an excellent route to produce renewable transportation fuels (biofuels).
Catalysts increase the speed of chemical reactions and reduce the amount of energy required to activate a reaction without being expended in the
process.

Pyrolysis
We design, construct and teach operation of fast pyrolysis equipment for
wood, agriculture residue, waste sludge and specialty crops.
Pyrolysis has been around for centuries. It’s a process that was
originally used to make carbon charcoal. Pyrolysis thermally cracks or
breaks down organic based materials in an environment of high
temperature and devoid of oxygen. What happens to organic materials
is it breaks down and causes a hot smoky gas to be formed. What is
left, as a residual, is solid carbon particles. The hot smoky gas we then
condense. In the process of condensing it we create a bio-oil and some
combustible gasses.
Pyrolysis (Heat - Breaking Down) is a high temperature thermal
process that occurs between about 250 and 500 C in the absence of
oxygen. The process yields gases, volatile compounds and charcoal.
Carried out at around 500 degrees Celsius in the absence of oxygen
and to maximize the production of bio-oils the process must happen as
quickly as possible. Usually in seconds or even fractions of a second.

Pyrolysis is the base procedure used in extracting the oil and petrochemical
products from the tar sands of Alberta.
We manufacture stationary units but specialize in making our
equipment mobile. We scale our equipment to be mounted on tractor
trailer rigs. Our systems use fixed bed downdraft reactors. The mobile
units are perfect for low density materials such as wood waste and
agricultural products which are uneconomical to be shipping to a
central processing plant. This mobile concept allows the equipment to
be moved to the product rather than trying to transport it to a
processing plant.
You always get 3 components from pyrolysis: carbon char, bio-oil and
gasious components. Depending on time of the reaction and the
operating temperature you can taylor the system to maximize any one
of the 3 components.
One of the great things about this process is that it is self sustaining
and all the products produced are quite usable.
CHAR: The char components that are left can be briquetted and used
as a fuel. The char can also be used as a slow release fertilizer with
nitrogen and phosferous to help restore depleted soils to create a nice
terra preta.
BIO-OIL: The bio-oil is useful in the food industry, pharmaceutical
fields and can be used as a fuel 40% of diesel fuel, but sulfur free.
GASIOUS PORTION: “syngas” can be increased by higher temperature
around 800 degrees C. methane, ethane and hydrogen
FEEDSTOCKS: wood tends to make a decent fuel. Waste from biodiesel
and ethanol production. Agricultural low maintenance crops like switch
grass, rice straw and husks (reduce pollution from not burning rice
straw in the field).
GLOBAL WARMING IMPACT: displaces petro-chemical fuels. Carbon
sequestration through char.
TRAINING AND KNOWLEDGE: We make as low tech as possible. No
PLC on pyrolysis units. Good for unskilled operators.

Vehicle powered by a downdraft gasifier
In our gasifier,, partial combustion produces Carbon Monoxide (CO) as well as hydrogen (H2) which are both combustible gas.
Solid Biomass fuels, which are usually inconvenient and have low efficiency of utilization can thus be converted in to a high quality gaseous
fuel with the associated convenience.
You can eliminate the expense of operating a motor vehicle or that of providing a household with power and heat.
You can use inexpensive—or sometimes even free —wood scraps as a replacement for costly fossil fuels.
Wood scrap may be recycled as a gasoline substitute for use with an automobile. The good news... It is almost free driving. The bad news... The unit
is big and unsightly. However, if you're not into being fashionable... You can drive for free. When fuel is rationed again or unavailable you'll be glad you
have it.

GASIFICATION
Gasifiers capture the remaining “value” from a variety of low grade
hydrocarbon materials. Gasifiers can be designed to use one or more
of these feedstocks.
Solids: All types of coal petroleum coke and biomass.
Liquids: Liquid refinery residuals and liquid wastes from chemical
plants and refineries.
Gas: Natural gas or refinery/chemical off-gas.
Liquid and gaseous feedstocks can be fed directly into the gasifier, but
solids must first be ground into small particles.
Gasifiers can extract energy from biomass, such as yard, forest and
crop waste, switch grass, sewage sludge, landfill waste and paper plant residual materials.
Oxygen Plant:
Gasifiers can use pure oxygen to help facilitate the reaction. The
oxygen is fed in through separate co-feed ports.
Gasification:
The core of the gasification system is the gasifier, a pressurized vessel
where the feed material reacts with oxygen (or air) and steam at high
temperatures.
There are several basic gasifier designs, distinguished by the use of
wet or dry feed, the use of air or oxygen, the reactor’s flow direction
(up-flow, downflow, or circulating), and the gas cooling process ( We
only use downflow and fluidized bed). Currently, gasifiers are capable
of handling up to 3,000 tons/day of feedstock throughput.
A hydrocarbon feedstock is injected with oxygen and steam into a high
temperature pressurized reactor until the chemical bonds of the
feedstock are broken. Temperatures in a gasifier range from 1,400-
2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat and pressure inside the gasifier
break apart the chemical bonds of the feedstock, forming syngas.
If the process is continued at higher temperatures, all these products
are converted to producer gas (using air) or synthesis gas (using O2).
The syngas consists primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and,
depending upon the specific gasification technology, smaller quantities
of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, and water vapor.
SLAG:
Most solid and liquid feed gasifiers produce a glass-like byproduct
called slag, which is non-hazardous and can be used in roadbed
construction or in roofing materials.
Gas Clean Up:
The raw syngas produced in the gasifier contains trace levels of
impurities that must be removed prior to its ultimate use. After the
gas is cooled, the trace minerals, particulates, sulfur, mercury, and
unconverted carbon are removed to very low levels using commercially
proven cleaning processes common to the chemical and refining
industries.
For feeds (such as coal) containing mercury, more than 95% of the
mercury can be removed from the syngas using relatively small and
commercially available activated carbon beds.
Co2
Carbon dioxide (CO2) can also be removed at the gas cleanup stage
using a number of commercial technologies. In fact, CO2 is routinely
removed with a commercially proven process in ammonia and
hydrogen manufacturing plants. Ammonia plants already capture
approximately 90% of the CO2 and methanol plants capture
approximately 70%.
SULFUR:
More than 99% of the sulfur is removed and recovered either as
elemental sulfur or sulfuric acid.
CLEAN SYNGAS:
Hydrogen and carbon monoxide, the major components of syngas, are
the basic building blocks of a number of other products, such as
chemicals and fertilizers.
In addition, a gasification plant can be designed to produce more than
one product at a time (co-production), such as the production of
electricity, steam, and chemicals (e.g. diesel fuel, methanol or ammonia). This
Poly-generation flexibility allows a facility to increase its efficiency and
improve the economics of its operations.
Present world syngas market, totally 6 EJ/y
Today’s, global use of syngas for the production of transportation fuels in the so-called “gas-toliquids”
processes (GtL) correspond to approx. 500 PJ per year, i.e. from the Fischer-Tropsch
processes of Sasol in South Africa and of Shell in Bintulu, Malaysia. In the future, syngas will
become increasingly important for the production of cleaner fuels to comply with the stringent
emission standards: second generation biofuels like methanol, DME, ethanol, and Fischer-
Tropsch diesel. The huge potential market for syngas is illustrated by the fact that almost 20%
of the present world primary energy consumption is for transportation fuels only [3]. If the
chemical sector is included, the total syngas potential increases to approximately 30%.
Biomass is heading for a great future as renewable energy source. It not only is available in
large quantities, it also is the only renewable energy source that is suitable for the sustainable
production of (generally carbon containing) transportation fuels and chemicals. Therefore, the
application of biomass as feedstock for the production of fuels and chemicals allows the
reduction of fossil fuel consumption and the accompanying CO2-emmissions.

____________________ ____________________
The Equipment in which gasification of Biomass takes place is known as a gasifier. There are three designs of gasifiers.
1. Updraft
2. Downdraft
3. Crossdraft
We build downdraft gasifiers. In this type air intake and bionmass is fed at the top. Biomass moves down as the process proceeds. The first stage
consists of drying through pyrolysis oxidation and reduction. The hot gas coming out of the Gasifier has significant carry over of ash and soot particles.
The gas is passed through a cyclone and scrubber for cleaning and cooling. The clean and cool gas is then further passed through a fine filter and is
ready as a motor fuel.

Free electricity? Free heat? Yep, you can have both if you have free wood, rice hulls, peanut shells, coconut shells, etc.
____________________ ____________________
If you are planning a community power system anywhere in the world, some questions that need to be addressed in your planning and
analysis would be as follows::
What is the approximate area of land covered by your Community?
What kinds and quantities of various biomass sources are available in
the area?
What would the various biomass materials cost, delivered to a possible
"central" location?
What are the present energy consumption patterns in the Community?
(How much heat, how much electricity, demand pattern for both, cost for
both.)
Can you distribute the power you generate through the existing
distribution system to your "Group Members", or must you sell it to the
Utility, and buy it back from them at their regular price?
