Abstract: A gasification system for receiving biomass feedstock and gasifying the biomass feedstock to produce char can include a reaction zone for receiving biomass fuel and a cooling zone for receiving char from the reaction zone. Together, the reaction zone and the cooling zone include a reaction chamber and a cooling chamber defining a live floor and a gas recovery volume above the live floor. The reaction zone and the cooling zone also include augers arranged side-by-side on the live floor, where each auger has helical flighting. The helical flighting of each auger can be turned in an opposing direction to each adjacent auger. Each auger can also include paddles intermittently interrupting the helical flighting for turning over the biomass fuel. The augers can be driven to pull the biomass fuel from a first end to a second end of the reaction chamber and the cooling chamber.

Abstract: A continuous system for gasification of a biomass feedstock comprising: a fuel conditioning zone, a gasification zone and a char cooling area.
