Through the years, we have recorded video of various thermal conversion methods during the actual operation of the process. Capturing these images is very tricky because of the high temperatures involved and because the intense particle collisions can damage the camera lens rather quickly. We were fortunate to capture these images through an open window provided for viewing the process. We are looking into a Conical Jet Spouted Bed type gasification reactor operating in the “dilute phase,” in which ceramic bed materials collide with biomass feed materials that are being converted (steam reformed) into synthesis gases, also known as syngas.
