Phoenix BioEnergy’s gasification process is a proprietary proven manufacturing process that converts hydrocarbons such as woody biomass feedstock in an oxygen starved environment until the chemical bonds of the feedstock are broken.  The feedstock is injected with a limited amount of air in a high temperature pressurized reactor.  By depriving the fire of sufficient oxygen, the wood does not burn, but rather gives off a flammable gas, called syngas, which is then transformed into ash approximately 1-5% of the volume of wood fuel. Gasification is a partial oxidation (reaction) process which produces syngas comprised primarily of hydrogen and carbon monoxide.  It is not a complete oxidation(combustion) process.
