DTU Updraft Gasifier and Stirling EngineDTU Updraft Gasifier and Stirling Engine

Today, operation started on Stirling DK's latest installation situated on the campus areas of the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). Approximately 1% of DTU's total power consumption and 2% of its heat consumption will be supplied by the installation.

The plant includes a Stirling engine with an output of 35 kWe of electrical power. The surplus heat from the plant, in the form of hot water, is fed into the district heating system of the DTU campus.

The plant is fuelled by wood chips originationg partly from cuttings from DTU park areas. In this way, the plant is a stand-alone facility that enables DTU to become partly self-sufficient with CO2-neutral power and heat from locally availabel fuel sources.

More information about the project can be found here.

We are engaged in the manufacturing of renewable and non-conventional energy equipments. i.e. briquetting plants and biomass gasifiers.

Activities: manufacturing briquetting plants JUMBO 90 model with production capacity of 500 to 1500 kgs per hour, with an added benefit ;JUMBO 90 does not require hammer mill or sizing machine since residuals of upto 25mm can be fed directly. Moreover, it has been developed for minimum consumption of power and maintenance.
