I hear this term 'Gasification' bandied about all the time when it comes to boilers. I have yet to see a real definition of what it means. Just wondering if it has been adopted to mean 'secondary burn' for wood boiler of is it equated with forced draft secondary burn.
According to Wikipedia this is the definition of Gasification
"Gasification is a process that converts organic or fossil based carbonaceous materials into carbon monoxide, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and methane. This is achieved by reacting the material at high temperatures (>700°C), without combustion, with a controlled amount of oxygen and/or steam. The resulting gas mixture is called syngas (from synthesis gas or synthetic gas) or producer gas and is itself a fuel."
If you continue to read the Wiki article it really doesn't pertain to what people call it here.
I'm not asking to be a pain but really would like to know what the industry consider 'Gasification'.
