WHAT IS GASIFICATION? Gasification is the use of heat to transform solid biomass or other carbonaceous solids into a synthetic 'natural gasike' flammable fuel. Through gasification, we can convert nearly any dry organic matter into a clean burning fuel thatcan replace fossil fuel in most use situations.Whether starting with wood chips or walnut shells, construction debris or agricultural waste, gasification will transform common 'waste' into a flexible gaseous fuel you can use to run your internal combustion engine, cooking stovefumace or flamethrower.
The gasifier is essentially a chemical reactor where various complex physical and chemical processes take placeBiomass gets dried, heated, pyrolysed, partially oxidized and reduced in this reactor as it flows through it. Four dis-tinct processes take place in gasifier. 1) Drying of the fuel 2)Pyrolysis 3)Combustion 4)Reduction.
