Pyrolytic gasification
Pyrolytic gasification is a thermochemical process through which a combustible gas mixture is extract from biomass.
The gas mixture (syngas) contains hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane, the process produce a solid waste (biochar) containing over 90% of carbon and which is an excellent soil improver.
Internally developed Downdraft Open Core micro-gasifier:
- High temperature gasification
- Maintenance free
- Automatic biomass loading
- Automatic biochar discharge
- Supply biomass from agricultural, zootechnical or industrial waste (typically pellet or micro-woodchips, can be obtained without resort to virgin wood, because the pyrolytic reactor is insensitive to ashes or other substances normally not tolerated from pellet stoves)
Burner
Burner, as well as the whole system, works by sucked air from exhaust fan.
Depression generated in the combustion chamber let syngas and combustion air to flow in it.
- Combustion controlled by Lambda sensor
- Stirling heat exchange optimized combustion chamber design
↓
- Very low CO and pollutant emissions
- Extremely low particular matter emission
- High performance
Stirling Engine
External combustion Stirling engine is particularly suitable for micro-CHP application because is absolutely insensitive to the kind of combustible to be used, and compared with traditional internal combustion engines, has lower noise emission, lower vibrations and higher efficiency in very low output power range.
External combustion let also to optimize fuel oxidation and obtain low pollutant and particulate matter emission.
1.0 kW free piston Stirling engine.
AC electrical power output suitable for both grid connection and island/hybrid installations.
- Low noise
- High efficiency
- Easy maintenance
How does it work
By means pyrolytic gasification, a combustible gas is extracted from the biomass and used as energy carrier.
