Syngas Producer

 

This is a multiblock machine that makes a fluid fuel (Syngas) from solid carbon-based fuels.

Mechanics

  • Each heating chamber consumes up to to 2 carbon per tick to produce 0.1 heat
  • When above 150 heat each heating chamber will also produce up to 50 mB of steam per tick
    • This scales as the heat gets higher, with the maximum produced at 200 heat
  • Each mixing chamber will consume up to 50 carbon and 10 mB of steam per tick to produce 1 mB of syngas
  • For optimal efficiency there should be 1 heating chamber per 5 mixing chamber
    • Additional heating chambers will speed up heating time, but reduce overall efficiency by a bit
  • Can accept steam made elsewhere – in that mode no carbon will be consumed for heating

Supported solid fuels

  • Coal Block – 16,000 Carbon
  • Coal, charcoal, coal dust, charcoal dust, wood log, wood pulp – 1,600 Carbon
  • Plank – 400 Carbon
  • Railcraft Coke – 3,200 Carbon (32,000 Carbon for coke block)
  • MFR Sugar charcoal – 400 Carbon (4,000 for sygar charcoal block)
  • Mecanism Compressed Carbon – 3,200
  • Mekanism BioFuel – 800
  • Minechem Carbon – 200
  • Minechem Cellulose – 1200
