Re: GAS-L: Re: Vedr.: Optimizing Fuel Volume Density... for straw and grass

[CAVM@aol.com]

Is there an efficient and economical gasifier to handle green saw dust or 
bales switchgrass without pelleting or other forming of the fuel?  I am 
thinking of a system to produce 3 - 5,000,000 BTUh. 10 million BTU would be 
useful in some situations.

I would like to produce hot air, hot water, steam and also have an option to 
generate electricity.  Various feedstocks are available in the different 
areas in which we work so I would want as flexible a system as possible.

I have looked at Dell Point and they may be the best so far.

Pelleting and briquetting are options if they are necessary, of course, but 
if they are not necessary for the gasifies I would only consider them for 
purposes of freight consolidation.

It may be that direct combustion will provide sufficient benefits that 
gasification is not a necessary proceedure.  I don't know.
