| Abstract |
The report gives results of a review of the design of a reactor capable of gasifying approximately 50 lb/hr of biomass for a pilot-scale facility to develop, demonstrate, and evaluate the Hynol Process, a high-temperature, high-pressure method for converting biomass into methanol fuel. The report also discusses design modifications and gives preliminary results of operating the facility. Significant flaws in the initial design were discovered and corrected. |

"October 2000." "EPA-600/R-00-092." "EPA research and development."--Cover. "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the University of California entered into Cooperative Agreement 824308-010 to develop and demonstrate the Hynol Process, a high-temperature, high-pressure method for converting biomass to methanol fuel. ... Cofunding was provided by the California Energy Commission and the Riverside County Waste Resources Management District. CE-CERT contributed substantial additional funding."--Abstract. Microfiche. |
