Abstract (EN): The production of fuel gas from wood wastes in a full scale carbonization reactor of simple design was studied. The production of methane and the approach to equilibrium to the water-gas shift reaction were experimentally correlated with the operating conditions. The heating value of the gas produced is comparable to that of typical air blown coal and biomass gasifiers, and may be improved by pre-drying the solid feed and by operating the reactor at lower temperatures. © 1986.
