Abstract
This work presents a burner design methodology for pyrolysis gas emitted from charcoal production. Based on the variety of the existing burner concepts the flameless oxidation concept was chosen due to its high stability, energy recovery capability and possibility to deal with dirty gas with presence of tar. An analysis of the flammability limits of the pyrolysis gas showed that it is flammable most of the operation time. A design methodology was carried and a prototype is presented. The prototype is proposed to be placed on the top of the charcoal kiln chimney. Tests are due to be run this year at a biomass valorization plant in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
