  • Patent number: 8888874
    Abstract: A mobile horizontal gasifier system for the efficient gasification of organic material to produce syngas and biochar without a large amount of ash or other byproducts. The gasifier system generally includes a hopper, vertical feeder, horizontal transfer members and a heating chamber. Biomass fed into the hopper and feeder is conveyed through each of the transfer members by drive assembles. The transfer members extend through the heating chamber and biomass will be baked to produce both syngas and biochar. A portion of the syngas produced will be reintroduced into the heating chamber via syngas return lines so that the present invention may be self-sustaining. Syngas ports and a biochar collection chamber are provided for separating and extracting any produced syngas and/or biochar. All components are generally positioned on a mobile trailer having a hitch to allow the present invention to be easily transferred from one location to another.
