| Objectives | Biomass Eng. Ltd. is currently in the process of acquiring the rights, IPR and the Wellman Process Eng. Ltd. fast pyrolysis plant for liquids production. Biomass Eng. Ltd. has developed a gasification technology and the addition of a pyrolysis technology would have significant advantages for additional power production at peak periods and for the conversion of feedstocks not suited to downdraft gasification. This is the only fast pyrolysis process for liquids in the UK. Biomass Eng. Ltd. wouldrelocate the plant; modify the start-up system, char handling system and produce liquids for testing by Ormrod Diesels for 1000-2000 hours operation at 30% electrical efficiency. Dr. Peacocke who designed and built the fast pyrolysis plant at Wellman, will provide technical assistance in the operation and commissioning of the process. Lab work will be carried out by Aston University and CFD modeling of the fast pyroilysis reactor for scale-up. Total project cost = 1550720 | |
