Producer Gas is a generic term referring to:
UK In the UK, Producer Gas, also called Suction Gas , specifically means a fuel gas made from Coke or other Carbonaceous material. Air is passed over the red-hot carbonaceous fuel and Carbon Monoxide is produced. The reaction is Exothermic and proceeds as follows: 2C + O2 → 2CO The Nitrogen in the air remains unchanged, and dilutes the gas, so it has a very low Calorific Value . After "scrubbing", to remove Tar , the gas may be used to power Gas Turbine s which are well-suited to fuels of low calorific value. Producer gas is a useful gas but requires careful handling because of the risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning . EXTERNAL LINKS
