I have received a message from a gentleman, Dr. Peter Fransham
of <i>Advanced Biorefinery Inc.</i>, indicating that he may be
able to help. He noted that he "has built fluid bed reactors over
the past 25 years - most recently a unit for the University of
Toronto", and should be able to help you out. He noted that "the
exact application would impact on the design", and that the "size
is (certainly) an issue". He also did note that they do focus on
biooil and biochar production from "pyrolysis units".<br>
<br>
Contact me offline [<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:lhelferty@biochar.ca">lhelferty@biochar.ca</a>] if you would like to
make the connection. (I would rather not post his contact info
here.)<br>

Hi Lloyd, Ling He, and Gasification Colleagues,
I appreciate your interest in the request from George which I hope he is following up from your kind replies. One can only guess at the size of his needs bearing in mind these are usually quite big systems. Maybe George can follow up and advise us of exactly what he wants one for, so appropriate advise can be given.
Fluidized beds certainly qualify as Pyrolysis systems, but a lot of effort has been expended in the hope they could be kidded into creating a gas free of condensible hydrocarbons. They can certainly make a large volume of gas fast, but never without extensive gas cleaning. An obvious choice is to develop and maximise their condensate production for further processing into liquid fuels and chemical feed stock, and use the gas straight into a boiler. Having said that, developers promoting this process seem to have a high turnover rate, and the same gear turns up under another name once all the hype and interest dies on the originating project.
Regards,
Doug Williams,
Fluidyne.

don't have a website.]
I was once told that they have a "fluidized bed gasifier". Except for
them, I have not really heard of the technology (most Fluidized Bed
systems are Pyrolysis systems [designed to make liquids] and not gasifiers).
I also knew of EnergyQuest Inc from Nevada, but the last time I
checked, their website was for sale.
Perhaps these guys have something?
