Gasification Plant Kit. You may have read about these, AND We have them in stock! THE PIC SHOWS: The two main components, other parts not shown. Great link below. The Assembly on the left is where the gasification takes place, it's heavy, and the quality of fabrication was far better than what I had expected. The square assembly on the right is both a condenser and a filter for the producer gas being made. That little door in the upper right is where you put charcoal for filtration of the gas, a good portion of the unit is full of water, and there is a upper and lower water fitting to trickle in some cool water if desired. In china, this unit is used to make cooking gas, in fact there's a cooking stove that comes with the unit that even has a push button igniter built in. The brief instructions that are found in the box, say this unit can be shut down for 10 hours and then restarted without re lighting the fire box. I have talked to friends in the UK that suggest a setup like this makes plenty of gas to run a pickup, and the preferred fuel is charcoal because it makes such a large amount of clean and BTU rich gas. The charcoal is made by the user, and there is plenty of information on making your own. In China, they use all kinds of stalks twigs, small branches and crop stubble, the dryer the better the gas. Oil pellets would be A-OK also. Yes, we also have Listeroid engine parts for easy assembly, ST generator heads, sawdust and oil feedcake pellet mills, producer gas units, oil presses, and some other diesel engines. Please email us, sawyer335(at)gmail.com. Yes, it is very real, and yes, it is very practical... ship weight, about 500 pounds. Introduction-These producer gas (gasifier) units are designed to use farm and forestry waste to produce gases to operate appliances, such as small stoves for heating, and are also just about perfectly sized for low HP gasoline and slow-speed diesel engines to replace part of the diesel fuel. They are near-ideal for both the casual experimenter, as well as serious off-grid users who require low or no cost fuels to produce power (such as for electrical generation) to maintain a "Western" high standard of living. Before there was gasoline or diesel there was producer gas, so these go back more than 100 years. These units will produce gases which are environmentally low in undesirable by-products, and are a superior way to reduce greenhouse problems (protect the environment), provide alternative, practical methods for energy production, and help maintain a high standard of living. The gasification process is simplicity itself; load a reactor (combustor) with combustible material with under 20% moisture content, dry it from the air movement past it and heat from the nearby combustion chamber until it starts to gasify, use the resulting gas and carbon along with introduced air in the combustion chamber to give off combustibles described later, cool and dry them in a separate "wet" filter, and hence, have this gaseous fuel available as needed. The combustion chamber also yields C+Ho2=H2+CO, and C+CO2=2CO, and reacting with the charcoal produced, gives off CO, H2, CH4, etc. Installation-It is always best to use these units in an area with unlimited ventilation, and where any fire danger is minimized. Please remember all equipment of ANY type is dangerous, and its use should only be contemplated, never actually carried out. 1)Most people will use these in an outdoor shed, perhaps under an eave, or a covered porch. It is always a good idea to keep them under cover to prevent corrosion etc. 2)Steel, high-temp rubber, or even CPVC pipe can be used to connect the gasifier with the intended appliance/engine. Remember, ANY air leaks will degrade the gas quality. All connections should be level to prevent water accumulation in pipes/hoses that otherwise will eventually block the pipe/hose. In other words, no sagging pipes! 3)If a unit is ever used in an indoor area, very good ventilation is a must!! (AND WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS!) 4)Any ventilation pipes should be run outside, not terminated indoors!! 5)The filter has water pipes which must be connected for cooling, and should be leak-free. 6)There is a water overflow outlet on the back of the filter unit, and the outlet of the hose attached to this should be higher than the input water hose fitting. When not being used, you can then lower the hose and allow the water to drain. 7)To review, install where there is good ventilation, make all fittings leak-free, and do not place in an open outdoor environment where it is subject to bad weather, snow, high winds, etc. Use- 1)Fill the filter chamber with activated charcoal, or a filter media such as sawdust, or any finely ground plant material. 2)Make sure the filter chamber door has no leaks!! 3)Using the water hose behind the filter, fill with water and keep the water level between 4 and 5". 4)Using the water hose on the UPPER LEFT SIDE of the filter, fill that tank completely. 5)Check to see that the ash door is well-sealed, and make sure the valves are closed. 6) Verify that the hose/pipe between the producer gas unit and the engine has no leaks. Operation 1)Turn on the fan 2)Start the engine on its idle fuel, and open the valve on the bypass exhaust. 3)Plug in the exhaust, and load the combustion hopper until it is half full of a suitable fire starting material. 4)Ignite the material, and add more material until it is full. Once it has burnt down a bit, and a good hot fire is assured, fill with wood pellets, chips, coal, etc, etc. 5)After the material has been burning one or two minutes, crack the valve to the engine, and after it accelerates, turn off the bypass exhaust. 6)Control the gas producing rate of the unit by adjusting the valve to the engine. 7)Add suitable wood pellets or chips, coal, etc, to the hopper as necessary. Remember to always be careful not to allow combustion with fresh air which can cause an explosion!! REMEMBER TO TURN OFF THE FAN and shut the output valve off BEFORE OPENING THE FUEL HOPPER DOOR!!!! Specifications 1)Gas output is about 5 CFM 2)Gasification efficiency is about 70% 3)The continuous power output from the gas is about 7-9 HP 4)THE USER UNDERSTANDS THAT COMBUSTIBLE GASES CAN BE LETHAL, AND IF HE OR SHE IS UNSURE AS TO SAFETY, THEY UNDERSTAND THAT THEY SHOULD NOT OPERATE THE UNIT, AND SHOULD USE IT ONLY FOR STATIC DISPLAY PURPOSES. 5)The user also understands that metal parts can cut, fire can burn, and wood pellets and chips, etc, can be harmful if chewed or ingested, and if they are uncertain as to whether they can be safe, they should seal the unit in a suitable thick material such as clear plexiglass, or have it sealed by a trained professional, and use it only as a display "under plastic". 6)The user also is reminded that the lifting of heavy weights can cause troubles, such as muscle strains, ruptures, herniation, and if there is any question as to any lifting, they should hire professionals. 7) The user also understands that, since this unit was assembled in a remote location, there could be problems with germs, etc, and that if there is any question as to the safety of the user(s), they should wear full sterile gear to prevent contamination, or hire professionals for this purpose. 8) The seller HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THAT NO ONE EVER ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING DANGEROUS, OR THAT IS POSSIBLY DANGEROUS, AND REMEMBER THAT THE SAFEST COURSE OF ACTION IS TO DO NOTHING AT ALL!!! 9) This unit can be very easily assembled, but we are calling it a kit so YOU have the responsibility for safely running it!!!
