I have been reading about GEM, I am new to gasification but have much
experience with briquette making with screw extruders and pelleting as
well as some for waste treatments.
My engineer friend had a plan for waste treatment facility, where they
would pick up metal ( magnetize), glass (blowing hot air to dry) than
the rest would be crushed. Than put in the small pellet machine ( They
are only talking about 3 tons a day, I assume 24 hours), from pellet
machine to hopper, to the gasifier (125 kg an hour capacity), than you
would get your gas.
I am sure any of you experienced people can design this machine. Waste
plastic has 45 Mj/kg, common house hold has 8 Mj/kg specific energy.
Polyurethanes and nylons contain nitrogen which produces oxides of
nitrogen under combustion conditions, which must be removed from flue
gases. I guess they can burn in the engine.
I think better and bigger systems can be designed for apartment houses
where people recycle metal and glass.

I have spoken to Stu Haber from IST Energy and yes they have one going for
a while. We inquired for distribution rights. So its not smokey mirrors or
vapor ware its real. I been watch this post and I suggest you talk to them
and they will give you the updates that this discussion is about.

Thomas,
I agree. So far this is the typical promotion we see from financial
people.
Usually these processes don't succeed but many people get hurt in the
process. If we can contact them directly maybe we can find out if they
have
actually built anything that can be seen and tested.

Subject: Re: [Gasification] Does anyboday know GEM3T120, waste
gasification
I found this on their web site under test specifications.
There is something that does not match.
300 grams HC contains appros 12000 KJ and 30 kg CO contains 360.000 KJ - i
a
normal gas engine this should be sufficient for production of 120000 KJ
mechanical work on the axel ~ equivalent to 45 hp-hours.
Any bodu has a suggestion to where it goes wrong?
