FW: Leftovers from oily plants

["Jim Foster" <j.foster@nwtsbdc.org>]

Two years ago near Seville, Spain, I visited a power plant owned by an olive
coop that burned olive husks ("alperujo' and "perujo"). Both fluidized bed
and grate boilers were being used, I believe. The moisture content was 50%
and 30% respectively. About 15 MWe of electricity was produced and sold into
the grid. The Spanish firm GUASCOR working with PRM Energy Systems of Tulsa
set up a 4 MWe gasification plant in Rossano Calabro (Cosenza, Italy) in
2000 that used olive waste ("sansa esausta"). In central Italy, olive husk
"bricks" (heat value of about 14-18 MJ/kg) are used as fuel in greenhouses,
small enterprises and households.

Olive pits, palm oil residues, are excellent dried and compacted into solid
fuel.
