GAS-L: Subject: Wood gasification demo in Germany

["Graeme Williams" <graeme@powerlink.co.nz>]

Dear Bioenergy Collegue,
Almost every engine gasification project reported in the media as a
successful demonstration of the technology is followed by, further work is
needed to make it commercial, or another million dollars are needed to
investigate gas cleaning!

These type of reports do nothing to advance acceptance of our technology
even when  its of a installed working system. The same magazine did an
article on a project Fluidyne implemented in New Guinea in an issue dated
October 1989, It didn't help sell a single gasifier.

We don't need more projects to prove anything, just removal of these almost
working gasifiers and those anonymous energy consultants who know more about
gasifiers than the manufacturer.

Message-ID: <37.2fa72894.2aeec33c@aol.com>



The October 2002 edition of Diesel & Gas Turbine Worldwide magazine on page
10 has an article on a demo plant in Eckernforde, Germany, by Sr. Franz
Hirschbichler.  This plant is producing wood gas from chips, cleaning the
gas

and fueling an internal combustion engine.  The use a MDE turbocharged v12,
1.83 L/cyl, S1 Leanburn gas engine adapted to wood gas.

There seems to be some additional work required to get the plant operating
as

planned although they consider the demo to have proved the concept of wood
gas for a CHP plant.
