Abstract The present disclosure is directed to a biomass gas producer having a tiltable gassifier in which the gassifier for performing endothermic chemical reactions of solid material having combustible gas forming and liquifiable constituants has a top charging end and an ash discharge end. A platform support means is provided for the gassifier. An adjustable support means is carried by the platform for supporting the gassifier for tilting from a substantially vertical endothermic reaction or firing mode to a low height inclined charging mode for introducing the material to be fired. A tilt means is connected to the adjustable support means to incrementally tilt the major axis of the gassifier between a firing mode position and a loading and waste discharge mode position. The gassifier also has means for directing the burnable gas produced therein to operate a prime mover for example a boiler, internal combustion equipment or turbine to drive power take off shafts to perform useful mechanical tasks.
A biomass gas producer with tiltable gassifier comprising a gassifier for performing endothermic chemical reactions of solid material having combustible gas forming and liquifiable constituants having a top charging end, a mobile platform support means for said gassifier, pivotally mounted support means carried by said platform supporting said gassifier for rocking movement along its vertical axis for tilting said gassifier from a substantially vertical endothermic reaction mode to a low height inclined charging mode for introducing the material to be fired, a tiltable arm connected to said support means and said mobile platform, drive means connected between said tiltable arm and said mobile platform support to incrementally tilt the gassifer about its vertical support axis between a firing position and a loading waste discharge position, and flexible hose means connected to said gassifier for directing the burnable gas produced by said gassifier to operate a gas fired prime mover.
