Wood gasification is one of the best solutions to provide both electricity and gas for cooking and heating from renewable wood. The model JK-40 gasifier is a home-scale wood gasifier. It is equipped with a 25kg batch fuel hopper that holds enough wood sawdust or shavings for over 25 hours operating time. The fan provides combustion air through nozzles to produce a rich gas mixture sufficient for starting and powering a water heater and stove.

The gasifier can turn wood into carbon monoxide and hydrogen by reacting the raw material (wood) at high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen. Without oxygen, the wood can’t burn so it transforms into gas, which can be burned for heating or as fuel in an internal combustion engine to make power. The process of converting wood into flammable wood gas releases more useful energy, in a more usable form, than burning directly.

Features of JK-40 gasifier:
1. New design incorporating extensive heat recovery and eliminating the tar problem.
2. Quick starting speed; the time to heat the initially cold batch of wood to the necessary temperature level take 1 minute only.
