[Gasification] Orange Peels

[Rolf Uhle]

Tom,

I never gasified o. peels but yes I have torrified /charred them many times 
and used them as kindling.
They turn black on a hot surface,are easily broken once dry and they burn like 
hell!
I atribute this to the high content in atheric oils which they don' t loose 
entirely during the torrefaction (blackening) process.

Ask your customers if they extract those oils for solvents or if the leave 
them untouched.
I guess it makes a difference

Rolf
