CITRUS trees, both green and dead, were chipped to provide a fuel source to make producer gas. Chip moisture content, fuel analysis, drying rate, and data on fuel/t of chips were obtained. The average moisture contents of the green and dead trees when chipped were 32% (w.b.) and 16% (w.b.), respectively. Chips were sized to a minimum of 0.32 cm square by 0.32 cm thick and to a maximum of 5.0 cm square by 0.32 cm thick and normally required four weeks to air dry to 14% (w.b.) moisture content before being used in a gasifier.
