Gasification technology uses gasification process to convert biomass into combustible gas (called producer gas). The gas is then supplied to heat, power or CHP generation equipment. Gasification process takes place in gasifiers. Most gasifiers are of the updraft or downdraft fixed bed type; fluidised bed gasifiers have also been developed. Updraft gasifiers tolerate a wide variety of feedstock types and moisture levels but generate highly contaminated hot gas with high tar levels. These gasifiers require complex, high cost gas cleaning technologies such as catalytic tar cracking. Downdraft gasifiers are more sensitive to feedstock quality and often require feedstock preparation but generate clean producer gas with minimal tar content.

The core of our technology is a downdraft gasifier system that converts biomass into producer gas with minimal tar content. Follow the links to learn more about the gasification process or gasifier systems. Or, read about the power, heat and CHP plants we offer.
