Abstract
A method for generating syngas comprising heating woodchips in a vessel comprising a circulatory pathway and a heat generator in thermal communication with the circulator pathway to thermally degenerate the woodchips by pyrolysis with the woodchips forming biochar and releasing syngas when undergoing pyrolysis. The method further comprises circulating the generated syngas along the circulatory pathway to thereby filter the syngas through at least one of the woodchips and the biochar undergoing pyrolysis, and discharging the filtered syngas from the vessel.
Claims20
A method for generating syngas comprising:
- heating woodchips in a vessel comprising a circulatory pathway and a heat generator in thermal communication with the circulator pathway to thermally degenerate the woodchips by pyrolysis, the woodchips forming biochar and releasing syngas when undergoing pyrolysis;
- circulating the generated syngas along the circulatory pathway to thereby filter the syngas through at least one of the woodchips and the biochar undergoing pyrolysis;
- and
- discharging the filtered syngas from the vessel.
A system for generating syngas comprising:
- a vessel comprising:
- a circulatory pathway for heating woodchips therein;
- and
- a heat generator in thermal communication with the circulator pathway to thermally degenerate the woodchips by pyrolysis, the woodchips forming biochar and releasing syngas when undergoing pyrolysis,
- wherein the circulatory pathway is shaped and adapted for circulating the generated syngas along the circulatory pathway to thereby filter the syngas through at least one of the woodchips and the biochar undergoing pyrolysis,
- wherein the filtered syngas is dischargeable from the vessel.
