Next Workshop Weekend: June 17-19. Update on BEK production
*** FATHER’S DAY GASIFY WITH DAD WORKSHOP *** Join us at ALL Power Labs June 17th through 19th for our next Gasification and Biochar Workshop in Berkeley CA. This is Father’s Day weekend so we hope you will consider planning a father-and-son/daughter trip to All Power Labs for our workshop. It has been too long since our last workshop. Our first quarter 2011 workshop in the Ivory Coast was canceled due to political unrest. Then we found ourselves too busy building in-house to have one in the spring. So we’re now giving you lots of notice for our summer workshop. ……
Workshop this weekend – Lister spark conversion – 6 Gas Analyzer now in house
Gasification and Biochar Workshop this coming weekend- October 8-11 Last chance reminder! The next quarterly workshop at ALL Power Labs is coming up this weekend. We hope you will join us for what is always a very enjoyable descent into (and back out of) the deep recesses of biomass thermal conversion. The workshop offers education, research reports and hands-on experience to bring more people to successful operation of small scale gasification and pyrolysis units. The event is open everyone, not just GEK or BEK users/owners. So come and join us while we progressively make small-scale gasification and pyrolysis a reasonable……

CNC Laser and Stainless GEKs. BEK at Iowa Biochar conference.
CNC Laser Cut Parts and Stainless Steel GEKs We’ve recently moved to a CNC laser cutter solution for sourcing the raw gek metal parts. For the last two years we’ve been making these in house with a CNC plasma cutter, but our throughput has outgrown the reasonableness of the plasma cutter solution. Fortunately we can use the same files to outsource to a CNC laser cutting house, and have everything show up done, clean and nicely taped together in bunches on a pallet. The locals find this MUCH superior and do not miss the de-slagging, re-drilling and general fussing with……
Workshop report. Power Pallet 4 day / 30 hour run report
The workshop weekend was great fun and good learning as usual– and this time with a gasifier-genset running through the whole event. Thank you again to all who joined us, and for the many new friends that came out of the process. Longest distance award this time goes to Abau who flew in all the way from the Congo, and flew back with many plans for gasification in central Africa. The most interesting new contributors were Kyoung Ro with his talk on animal manure biochars and Devinder Mahajan for his survey of liquification pathways and related liquification technology. Mixing in……

APL releases “BEK” Biochar Experimenter’s Kit, +new videos
Hi everyone, It’s been another exciting, breakthrough week at All Power Labs and we wanted to make sure you’ve heard the latest: 1-APL unveils new, low cost “BEK” or Biochar Experimenter’s Kit” at International Biochar Conference in Boulder, CO. Jim Mason and Jay Hasty are in Boulder, showing off the TOTTI architecture, and more importantly unveiling APL’s new, low cost design for a Biochar Experimenters Kit, aka the BEK, naturally. The BEK is completely compatible with the standard GEK cowling. It supports multiple pyrolysis modes in direct combustion, indirectly heated retorts, and hot gas recycle through bed architectures. Temperature, residence……
