[Gasification] Chicken Litter gasification

[Li CHEN]

Dear Robert,

I read some chinese phd thesis who studied the gasification of chicken 
manure.

The gas composition depends on : initial chicken manure size, 
temperature, Ratio of air/chicken manure.

It seems that gas LHV is just a little lower than wood gas, see 4 MJ/Nm3.

The main problem of chicken manure gasification should be the control of 
gas emission, since there are lots of N  and ash in chicken manure.

So when you say : the gas comes out so clean, how you know? (since NOx 
or SOx have no color I think).

If you like, I can send you some english papers about chicken manure 
gasification.

Best regards,

Li
