All,
I anticipate building a gasifier system in the not too distant future
and two questions keep arising about my "mental" plans.
1) Virtually all gasifirer designs I have seen have been cyndrillical
or drum shaped.
Is this due to availability of drum shaped containers, to avoid bio
mass "bridging", ease of construction, other, or all the above?
I envision a retangular hopper with a triangular
grate/reaction/pyrolisis chamber. Am I crazy?
2) Rather than using the gas at the time of generation, I plan to
compress it (similar to LPG) for use later or as needed.
Is there compelling reasons for NOT doing this?
I anticipate compressing to 180 psi at ambient temps (30 to 90
F) in order to avail myself of commonly available LPG valves, tanks,
fittings and gauges.
Thanks for any responses in advance.
