| Technology Brief |
The gasifier will turn wood chips into gaseous fuel, which are burned in the boiler earlier operated on heavy fuel oil. GASEK’s wood gasifier is a co-current gasifier and it’s based on the pyrolysis technique. The wood chips are moving in the reactor in the same direction as the gasification air, which is fed in quantities that are considerably lower than is required for combustion. The gasification temperature is 800-1200°C, which prevents formation of damaging tar compounds. This results in tar compounds cracking into lighter fractions.
