Southeastern Regional Biomass Energy Program: evaluating recently developed two-stage combustion technology for small-scale application. Annual report, September 1, 1984-August 31, 1985

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6120082
This research was conducted to compare the ash particulate emission from both updraft and downdraft gasifiers of the same size for woodchips as a function of gasification rate, to determine operational parameters of a cyclonic combustor to suit both updraft and downdraft gasifiers for effective removal of char particles, to develop a dedicated microcomputer to control the temperature of the exhaust from the combustor, and to conduct an economic evaluation of a system with and without microcomputer control for justification of either of them. 12 refs., 9 figs., 3 tabs.
