Dear Neal ...del... > > So, anybody have any idea how much water we get as a byproduct for the > gasification of X amount of biomass of any type? I don't think there is any single answer to your question. The first variable is the moisture in the fuel. The next variable is the specific process employed. A gasifying process with a "low temperature reaction", low moisture, and low excess air, can be expected to produce an off-gas with most hydrogen tied up in tars. A high temperature process, with optimal water and air can lead to a gas which is low in tars, and high in CO, H20 and N2. > Can it be captured? > The moisture can be dropped out with condensers. The degree of drop-out depends on the dewwpoint of the exit gas.
