Andrew, et al, you said, ... "however even commercial sized gasification units seem to discardchar with the ash, it's inevitable really as chemical reactions tend to equilibriums, if you supply just the 1kg of air needed to gasify 1kg of dry biomass then some will react all the way to produce H2O and CO2, hence some char must be left. In a simple stove we can add excess air above the 6kg needed for stoichiomentric conditions, this allows unreacted O2 to leave the system rather than unreacted C." So, anybody have any idea how much water we get as a byproduct for the gasification of X amount of biomass of any type? Can it be captured?
