[Stoves] ***SPAM*** Optimum Combustion

[willem boers]

For the Kabuga Institutional stove (500 litres)  we look for a stoichiometric combustion whereby at all times, the O2 is just the right amount to ensure optimal combustion with no or limited emissions.
 
The reality is that each time, the combustion masters at the school will use a different type of wood with other moisture content and different firewood sizes. So, the O2 supply should be dynamic and cannot be set permanently.
 
I understand that it is common in the industrial combustion process to have a measuring/steering system to measure the correct O2 quantity regularly. Cooking with Kabuga is nearly industrial. Millions of students will receive school feeding, which must be cooked as energy efficient as possible. I estimate that one cooking kettle of 500 litres can feed, at best, 500 students. For a million students, we would need 2000 cooking kettles for starters.
 
What options are available at the market to measure the flue gasses while regulating the O2 supply? And ensure the highest efficiency with minimum emissions through an affordable, robust measuring/ steering system for a biomass institutional cook stove of 500 litres. 
 
With kind regards,
 
Willem
