[Gasification] ideal wood gas engine

[Anand Karve]

Dear List,
The bagasse, which is burned in the furnace of a sugar factory contains
about 50% moisture. Would anyone explain why they do not use dryer bagasse
containing less moisture? Is it possible, that the water vapour in the
bagasse reacts with the charred biomass to produce producer gas, thus adding
to the fuel value of the biomass?
Yours
A.D.Karve
