High Efficiency Modular Biomass Gasification Systems
Our highly efficient co-current reactors convert low cost biomass residues into a clean fuel gas stream - "producer gas" - that is both renewable and carbon neutral. We provide electrical power generation from a range of specially adapted gensets.
We provide a series of partially or fully automatic modular producer gas systems for off-grid and grid connected power generation systems. The standard module is 90kW electricity plus 115kW heat (90degC water). We can offer multiples of this unit and also produce gasifiers in the range up to 500kWe. There are also modules for gas conditioning using cyclones and bag house filtration, plus combined heat and power (CHP) add-ons.
Thompson Spaven's current Advanced Gas Producer module is capable of producing 90 KWe of renewable electricity from clean wood and waste wood feedstock.
The unit incorporates several novel innovations to the traditional co-current gasification process. The plant has been fabricated in Coventry, using materials and components sourced primarily in the UK.
Our gasifiers consume around 0.8 kg of dry wood per kWh of electricity generated. So to generate 90kW of electricity all the time (say 8000 hours/year based on 90% up time) you will need around 14 tonnes/week of wood chips with 15% moisture.
In addition to the rated electrical power there is process heat. A typical 90kWe system will provide around 115kWt of heat recovered from both the generator set exhaust (550 degC) and the engine radiator (75 degC). This heat can be utilised for any purpose, such as a district heating scheme, wood chip drying, crop drying, greenhouse heating, etc..
