To clarify your question,

1: By "wood peels" do you mean bark that was peeled of wood?

2: Is your interest in a gasification or pyrolysis process, OR is your
interest in the composting and rotting process?

Kindest regards,

Kevin Chisholm

Dear Dan and All:

I enjoyed Dan's extensive comments on coke. (I am used to the name "coke"
as the product of coal pyrolysis. Maybe Dan can tell us if there is a
difference between Coke and Rock coal.)

At the turn of the century a product "coal oil" was in widespread use in the
U.S. and England (and probably everywhere else). It is the product of low
temperature coal pyrolysis. What is the name for the remaining carbonaceous
material after low temperature pyrolysis? Does "coal oil" exist anymore?

Coal tar is the product of high temperature coal pyrolysis (as in making
coke). Coal tar is the resulting high temperature pyrolysis condensate
(over 700 C).

I look forward to some expert opinion here...

Yours truly, TOM REED BEF

Subject: GAS-L: Biomass Gasification
Message-ID: <001501c1c5ed$69af4620$805a56d8@default>

     To All,
In playing the
"Sustainability" game which in my mind, humans always seem to lose, I
have came to the conclusion that biomass gasifiers in the .1 to 2 megabtu input
range may predominate. This is because in cold climates the need for heat will
make it important to do all processes by cogeneration or co manufacturing.
Another reason is that each region may be competing for its own biomass supply
and therefore biomass would not be shipped long distances. The energy cost of
transport will also play a role in reducing the number of very large plants. One
exception to this might be the pyrolization of biomass using solar mirrors. Then
of course the energy of the final product could be more than that of the biomass
input. The 70% efficiency of a large conversion plant is not good enough if we
are operating furnaces for heating
buildings.         Ideally one would
make methanol and power in a small converter stationed in a building, in
Winter, so that the waste heat would heat the building. The lock hopper and 50
atmosphere pressure needed would make this difficult. Furthermore the chemicals
derived from wood may become important. This suggests the possibility of a semi
pyrolizing furnace that would make fuel gases and fuel liquids while using the
waste heat for space heating. I looked at an old Chemical Engineering text
called Chemical Process Industries and discovered that wood chemicals have been
very important in the past, probably in particular for sailing vessels. Wood tar
would probably be very useful in a wooden vessel. It probably would also be
useful for water proofing a
building.         In the old way of
doing it the wood was pyrolized. They talk of pyroligneous liquids, acetic acid,
rosins, charcoal, and methanol as outputs from pine distillation. Any charcoal
would be useful in other energy operations. In a small low pressure process it
might be possible to separate the liquids out and later either convert them to
chemicals or pump them up to the necessary pressure to convert them into
methanol. We know that some methanol is produced even at atmospheric pressure.
Maybe catalysts would improve this low pressure yield. Electrical energy would
be obtained from a steam engine and from an IC engine burning the gases. What I
am saying is that maybe we need dirty gasification rather than clean
gasification because the by products are useful. I have no practical experience
with this but I can imagine that the liquid products would be messy and hard to
handle. However they must have done that in previous times. A hard coating on
heat exchangers such as that in wood stove chimneys would be hard to deal with.
In my opinion we have
to look for better ways of saving energy if humans are to survive. Also even if
I were just interested in this subject for commercial reasons, I would still
join the dogooders and push for massive tree planting programs.

How might this impact flue gas temperature readings - e.g. is there a
similar problem there that might not be addressed in some situations? As
the temperatures I'm trying to measure are much lower (maybe 400 C) I'm
wondering if the accuracy will be better.

mind to help a little more: I have been working on

there is any problem in measuring gas stream

Subject: BENE FACIENDO BONUM EFFICERE
Message-ID: <00e501c1cdb7$df99ea80$5f80fd0c@attbi.com>

Dear All:

I have long admired the phrase "doing well by doing good" and recently
recommended it to Shivayam Ellis, my 26 year old partner in WoodGas
CampStoves. I have pensions and savings to insulate me from the daily need
for more money, (though I pursue it at a higher level, knowing that more
money would enable me to do more good).

The phrase seems to me to embody the essence of the capitalist system. It
is difficult in our society to "do well" without (often accidentally) doing
some good. (Exceptions are drug dealers, ... fill in your favorite blanks).

I have also long admired the pithy Roman phrases sthat pepper out language
because we haven't thought of better ones in English/French/German/ ... and
I have a latin phrase book with 50 pages of pith from

ad astra per aspera (To the Stars through adversity) to

Vox Populi, vox Dei (The voice of the people is the voice of God)
~~~~~~~
So I wrote my Latin expert, Prof. George Honig at Purdue for a translation
and he came up with

Bene Faciendo Bonum Efficere (To bring about good by doing well)

I have asked him also for the imperitive form meaning

Do good (while) doing well!

I have noted that several members of these lists have decided to go into
business to spread the results of research to those who need it.

Carpe diem! TOM REED BEF

Hello everyone,

I am also interested in receiving information on gasification plants that are operating on MSW!!

Thank you!

Hello all,

Does anyone know of an operating gasification plant using MSW as a
feedstock? If so can you send me some information, I have an application and
the possible financing for two 300 TPD plants.

Thank you,
George Brigliadoro

Hello George,

I had the same doubt some weeks ago and I consulted NREL and DOE about this
matter. I received the following answer from Mr. Phil Shepherd, from NREL.

Paulo Jardim
COMLURB - Rio de Janeiro (COMLURB is responsible for the collection and
final destination of Rio´s MSW.

Hi, Paulo

Gasification is not generally used to treat MSW. There are two pilot plants
operating in Italy as disclosed in a previous report by NREL. There is also
one commercial plant in Karlsruhe Germany, but I heard a rumor that it is
operating at 1/2 capacity by government ruling related to emissions. Puerto
Rico considered gasification of MSW but finally decided on mass burn
combustion. Pyrolysis of MSW has been tried but fails every time because
commercial scale pyrolysis requires a homogeneous feedstock. You can learn
more about gasification of MSW by reading our report Evaluation of
Gasification and Novel Thermal Processes for the Treatment of MSW. You can
find this on the Internet at
http://pix.nrel.gov:8020/BASIS/nich/www/nrel/SDF or search for it at
http://www.nrel.gov/cgi-bin/pubspage.cgi.

There are many gasification plants in the United States but they as you
noted, usually process agricultural waste, predominantly rice hulls.

Good luck.

Dear Mr. Shepherd

I have contacted Mr. Carlin, as stated bellow, and he asked me to contact
you. My question is :
Is gasification an approved technology for MSW ?
Are there american or european plants really in commercial operation with
gasification or pyrolisis technologies ?
Some companies come to Rio to offer this technology. We use landfills for
almost all our MSW and we need to know if this is technology till the moment
is a real possibility for MSW.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards
Paulo Jardim
