Research abstract
Dependency on petroleum fuels represents a substantial portion of logistic burdens on a forward force. One possible remedy is the utilization of fuel sources available in the forward theatre. General wastes of deployment (i.e. packaging, food, scrap materials) and local biomass are two feedstocks having high fuel potential. In this Phase I SBIR program, Foster-Miller proposes the development of a clean-burning gasifier to supplement or sole-source fuel internal combustion engine-drive electrical generators. The Phase I program will culminate in thermal and chemical analyses of the representative feedstock upon gasification. In the Option program, the results of Phase I will be used to prepare preliminary designs for a gasification system capable of feeding clean burning gas to internal combustion engines. (P-040569)
