[Gasification] What became of the Waterwide gasifier/ close combustion system ?

[Tom Miles]

James,

 

We see many examples of perfectly good biomass boilers that are lost when a
company owner retires or a business fails. It would be useful to have a
better record of the Waterwide experience. I always felt that a moving grate
would be a useful addition to the Waterwide furnace. They had a pretty
compact 5-6 MMBtuh unit. Larger versions of either a pile or grate followed
by a cyclonic afterburner are the Wellons cell www.wellons-usa.com, which
started as a refractory pile burning cell for burning bagasse, and the
Lamb-Cargate Wet Cell which became the Heuristic Envirocycler by Dr. Malcolm
Lefcort, nunaenergy.com

Thanks Doug and Tom. As always a wealth of information.

 

I just hope we understand the commercial history of previous biomass
technolgies enough that we don't fade away like so many before us have !
