Dear All,



In biomass gasification



a.	1TPH down draft gasifier 1500kg /hr air flow is needed for 1ton 

of wood is gasified. So gas produced for 2500 kg /hr. Air blower 

pressure is 300mm water column. Air blower CFM is 1000.



Practically, for some people using 



b.	The same 1TPH down draft gasifier using air blower pressure is 

600 to 1000 mm water column. Air blower CFM is 2000.



Whether a / b is correct? Or not 



Explain.

Dear List,











What would be the best style of mill to reduce weed and soft wood



charcoal (mostly weed). This would be for charcoal Fireball production.



All advice will be appreciated.







Reduction might be 2 mm to dust. Enough dust to fill in the larger 2 mm



particles. Might be possible to have some particles larger than 2 mm.







Production is difficult for me to pin down but lets say 400 lbs/hr (180



kg/hr). More is better but less would be OK for now. The more I think



about it a lot less would work for now.







Would a farm hammer mill with cyclone bagger be a formula for a dust



storm?















Clueless,











Jeff

Hi Jeff,







A small hammer mill would be fine, but you need to run it under negative



pressure to keep from making a mess. Start at the back end with a small



blower good for 12" suction. Then a fake baghouse (three old Shopvacs in



parallel would be fine.) Then, a tall skinny, cyclone (high-efficiency) with



a downleg terminated with a couple butterfly valves operating 90deg out of



phase as an airlock. This dumps into your collection bag/drum.







Of course, any kind of feed auger makes things more fun. Get a fine screen



for the mill and don't push things to prevent a conflagration which would



ruin anyone's day. The cyclone is about 99% efficient by weight, so it takes



the load off your "baghouse".







An even simpler solution is a homebrew ball or rod mill.







Mark
