BIOMASS GASIFICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240327734 titled 'BIOMASS GASIFICATION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation: The biomass gasification apparatus described in the patent application includes a gasification reaction furnace with upper and lower supply units for supplying woody biomass, inert gas, and mixed gas to the furnace. A sensor detects clogged biomass in the feeding hole, and a controller regulates the flow rates of inert gas supplied by the upper and lower units based on the sensor's detection to prevent clogging.
- Gasification reaction furnace
- Upper supply unit for woody biomass and inert gas

Original Abstract Submitted
biomass gasification apparatus includes: gasification reaction furnace; upper supply unit configured to supply woody biomass and inert gas from above through feeding hole to furnace; lower supply unit configured to supply mixed gas containing inert gas from below to furnace; sensor configured to detect clogged state in which biomass is clogged in hole; and controller configured to control supply units to regulate upper supply flow rate of inert gas supplied by upper supply unit and lower supply flow rate of inert gas supplied by lower supply unit based on detection result by sensor. when clogged state is detected, controller increases upper supply flow rate to be higher than first flow rate and decreases lower supply flow rate to be lower than second flow rate so that sum of upper supply flow rate and lower supply flow rate is maintained at predetermined flow rate.
