THE BIOMASS
Gasification is a chemical process that allows you to convert carbon-rich material like all biomasses into carbon monoxide, hydrogen and other gaseous compounds.
The thermal degradation process occurs at high temperatures, the gaseous mixture resulting from gasification it constitutes what is called synthesis gas (syngas) and itself represents a fuel. The syngas produced is used as a fuel directly in internal combustion engines.
An alternator is keyed to the engine; these transform the mechanical energy into electrical energy that can be put into the network.
Thermal energy must be used to support thermal needs (production cycles, civil or industrial heating, drying processes, etc ..).
The biomasses are accumulated in special silos and through screws reach the loading tank. Through special hermetic seals, the biomass reaches the reactor which is the heart of the plant within which the biomass is transformed into gas through a thermo chemical process. The gas coming from the gasified biomass, syngas, and the gasification residues, leave the reactor from the low wall at about 800 ° C.
Subsequent thermal exchanges cool the gas up to about 90 ° C after having also undergone mechanical filtration to reduce the presence of carbonaceous dust.
This synthesis gas is thus ready to become the fuel of the co generator equipped with an Otto cycle engine with controlled ignition.
A 49 kW co generator produces electricity for no less than 7,500 hours per year (approximately 375,000 KWh / year.
The residue of this process called Biochar can be used as an organic fertilizer.
We are able to provide the entire turnkey system by defining the type of system and its power based on the type of waste, then drawing up an ad hoc business plan for each possible customer.
Plants up to 100kW, depending on the quantity of product, do not need to be registered in the authorization register but have a facilitated procedure being with low voltage connection.
For higher power plants, the project must be organized and then registered in the authorization register.
The next register is expected to open in June 2021. To date, this type of self-producing electricity plants can be subject to a state incentive of € 0.233 / kWh produced (in Italy), although the times vary from region to region are between 4 and 6 months at most between authorizations and construction.
