[Gasification] wood gasifiers

[John Webster]

Dear Mr. T R Krishnaswamy:

Thank you very much for your reply. However, when you sell electricity for US $0.10/kwh, paying more than US$2,000.00/kW installed price does not make for an economically feasible project. Interest cost will be in the 8% range. I want to generate electricity, w/ waste heat for district heating. If the steam for heat sales covers the cost of the fuel, we will be very lucky. If there is a need to continue this discussion, I will be very happy to supply additional information. Thank you for your time and reply.

yt,

John Webster

Dear John, 

As licensees of the award wining IISc gasification technology, we have installed gasifiers for thermal energy, power generation and trigeneration at 16 installations in India and abroad in the capacity range of 25 kWe to 1.5 MWe. Our 1100 kg/h thermal gasifier in a chemical unit has clocked over 30,000 hours of operation and our grid connected MWe class unit has clocked over 16,000 hours. Both units have used coconut shells and Prosopsis as biomass.

We offer thermal, electrical power, Combined Heat & Power and trigeneration solutions in the 20 kWe - 5 MWe range in modules and with BIGCC. Please get back to us with details of your location, expected PLF, geographical spread of district heat supply, target biomass characteristics and other details to enable us to respond. 

Perhaps you need to correct the numbers. A couple of thousand $/MW would be a humongous bargain :).

Regards.

> Hello:
> 
> First time poster. I'm looking for information availability for a commercially operated wood gasifier. I don't mean a 15-20 second video on U-Tube. I mean one that will successfully work for months and years. I'm looking for equipment to generate gas for running a diesel engine, and excess heat for districk heating. I'm thinking electrical generation in the 500 kW to one MW range. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've looked all over the web, but found nothing that is economicially feasible. Meaning equipment cost less tha a couple thousand dollars a MW. Thanks again.
