Biomass can be converted by gasification into a clean-burning gaseous fuel that can be used to retrofit existing gas/oil boilers, to power engines, to generate electricity, and as a base for synthesis of methanol, gasoline, ammonia, or methane. This survey describe biomass gasification, associate technologies,and issues in three volumes. In volume III, the present status of gasification processes is described in detail, followed by chapters on economics, gas conditioning, fuel synthesis, the institutional role to be played by the federal government, and recommendations for future research and development.. VOLUMEN III CURRENT TECHNOLOGY AND RESEARCH. Types of Gasifiers and Gasifier Design Considerations. Directory of Current Gasifier Research and Manufacturers. Survey of Current Gasification Research. Economic of Air Gasification for retrofittiong Oil/Gas Boilers. Gas Conditioning. Production of Fuels and Chemicals from Syntesis Gas. Governmental Aids to Commercialization of Air Gasification. Recommendations for Future Gasification Research and Development.
