Objective
Based on a 60 kg/h laboratory gasifier an increased type is being proposed as
demonstration plant.
The test plant runs wlth different kinds of biomass and is suited to all sizes below 40 mm and to changing humidity content. The gas produced was almost free of tars. A motor had been in operation for several days already. The plant size of the next generation will be 200 kWel and 200 kwth with the special goal to get automatic continuous operation. Here, the gas cleaning subsystem will gain great importance to enable the intended long motor operation . The following partners will cooperate in the project.
-ARCUS company (SME ) as the developer of the gasifier and coordinator of the project. The new plant will be installed in the site of the company supplying the company with electricity and heat and feeding the surplus electricity into the grid.
-Stork Comprimo comp. (NL) for the gas cleaning subsystem. Comprimo is an experienced engineering company with special know-how in gas cleaning. It designed and installed the gas cleaning for the Dutch power plant Buggenum.
-BIBA Institute (D) being experienced in automation, system analysis and renewable energies. BIBA will participate for plant definition, operational permit and evaluation.
-Joanneum (AT), an engineering institute being responsible for environmental items will be involved mainly in the definition and specification of the instrumentation for monitoring gas quality and emissions, and in the performance evaluation with respect to efficiency and environmental effects.
-Fachhochschule Hannover (D) being responsible for the measurements and evaluation of the motor.
-Zeppelin Comp. (D) will supply the motor and will participate in motor engineering but not in the role of partner but supplier to Arcus. Zeppelin is using motors from Caterpiller and modified them for many combined power stations from sizes of 50 kW to more than 1000 kW. It also tested some motors with most qasifier available during the last 10 years, thus providinq a very concentrated know-how on the gas quality needed for long life time.
-Regional farmers and the farming organisation will also participate, not as partners, but as suppilers for biomass and for overcoming logistic problems of storage and steady supply.
The Arcus comp. has good access to East Europe and plans to exploit the results of the demonstration within the EU-countries and also Eastern countries.
