GEK: Reactor Options

Below is the full list of planned separate bolt-in reactors for the GEK system. We are starting with the nozzle and constriction (Imbert) downdraft type, as this is the usual desired starting point. Later in 2008 we plan to introduce a reactor to support common open core / stratified downdraft and multi-point air injection types, then followed by another reactor to support common pyrolysis designs for controlled biochar production. Later in this process we will introduce more complex reactors like fluidized beds and cyclonic types. Later still, maybe it will be you who offers the microwave or plasma arc bolt in reactor for the GEK . . .

List of planned GEK reactors

1. Downdraft (nozzle and constriction / "Imbert") pictures in gallery

2. Downdraft (open core / stratified downdraft, multi-point air injection)

3. Pyrolyser (direct and retort, batch and continuous rotary/auger)

4. Updraft and TLUD (top lit updraft / inverted stratified downdraft)

5. Crossdraft and Kalle

6. Fluidized Bed (bubbling and circulating)

7. Cyclonic/Vortex/Swirl
