Below is a video from Auburn University on their biomass gasifier. The biomass gasifier can use many different types of biomass to produce heat and gas. The biomass is burned in a combustion chamber where air is injected at several different layers. The biomass passes through several stages of combustion eventually to create wood gas or singas as it maybe called. This gas can be used to run internal combustion engines and heating systems. The Auburn application uses the gas to run an internal combustion engine, which then powers a generator.
Biomass pellets are commonly used to run gasifiers due to their uniform size and moisture content. The size of the gasifier can be kept to a minimum, as raw material processing is not required. As biomass pellets do not require drying all the heat generated from cooling the gas can go to heating buildings. Therefore a biomass pellet gasifier becomes a combined heat and power unit (CHP). The PelHeat Mobile Pelletizer could be used to create pellets to be used in small-scale biomass gasifiers. The gasifier could then be used to generate heat and electricity.
