Dear all,
I would be happy to share some publications arising from the following
activities at the Asian Institute of Technology:
1. Sida funded Regional project: An information package (including
construction details) on biomass briquetting machines developed in a number
of Asian countries and design of natural- cross-draft gasifier stoves that
can operate continuously is available. The briquetting machines developed
were improvements on standard screw-press heated die design. Cross-flow
gasifier stoves were designed for different sizes; these do not need any
blower and can operate continuously without any smoke.
2. GTZ funded project on Biocoal: We used the term "Biocoal" (rather than
"Biochar") for charcoal produced from solid organic residues such as
agricultural residues and waste wood. The findings of the project were
reported in a book titled "Biocoal Technology and Economics" by "Regional
Energy Resources Information Center (RERIC)" (email:enreric at ait.ac.th). The
chapters of the 495-page book were: 1. State of the art of biocoal
technology, 2. Biocoal technology: A comparison of options and
recommendations, 3. Carbonisation of sawdust briquettes, 4. Laboratory-scale
batch carbonisation selected residues, 5. Cost and availability of selected
residues in Thailand, 6. Characterisation of selected residues, 7. Biocoal:
Market requirements and Opportunities in Thailand, and 8. Economics of
biocoal production in Thailand.
A few copies of the book are still available with RERIC. A number of
chapters of the book were summarised as journal articles; I will be happy to
share some of these with interested persons for their personal use and
research purpose.
