Current BioHearth System

The bioHearth was developed by Richard Woods, owner of Albany Woodworks by iterating smaller scale gasifiers that used residues from the woodworks.

The bioHearth is a down-draft gasifier designed to convert clean residues (sawmill, agricultural, forestry waste) into heat an power.
They currently have a 200kW unit available that will process up to 400/lb of fuel stock per hour, and they are in the process of developing 500kW and 1 MW unit.

Early version of the gasifier with a flare

These photos come From Aaron Fishman, who built a small scale gasifier for a cashew enterprise in Indonesia. Their capacity is around 1,000kg/day of which 750kg is waste shells that can be used for fuel and biochar. The biochar will be used to help improve the soils. The company is using the gasifier to reduce their consumption of LPG and to find uses for the cashew shells that are a residue stream from the factory.
