What are the byproducts from the biomass gasification process?
A high-performance power gasifier is optimized to generate the maximum gas and little else. Byproducts of the process are a small amount of low-grade activated carbon, some inert ash and water. Ideally, these byproducts should be combined and returned to the soil as a soil conditioner. Waste heat is also produced by the process and can be used for water or space-heating, cooling, manufacturing processes, or for pre-drying the fuel for the gasifier.
