[Gasification] Gas Sampling

[Doug]

Hi Indika,

There is a reduction in CO if the gas is collected at over 500C, due to 
it revering to soot and CO2. You need to quench the gas temperature as 
it is extracted from the collection point as close to the internal gas 
where it exits the char bed. If you can do this, then the accuracy of 
the analysis will be improved. It would be interesting to see what the 
other gas % is claimed by the designer.

Sorry to hear that Ray has passed over. We had quite a few exchanges 
about biomass fuel growing.

Regards,

Doug Williams.

Fluidyne.
