Abstract

Forest Fuels retrofits boilers with gasifiers utilizing wood chips as fuel. A dryer is provided in the process to eliminate the energy cost associated with burning wet wood. Fuel delivery equipment is part of the Forest Fuels package. The question of availability is addressed. Schematic diagrams of basic wood gasification indicate the simplicity of the process.
