GAS-L: Information request fro Spain...

[Reedtb2@cs.com]

Dear Thomas Reed and Gasification Group:
 
My name is Guillermo Matthies and I am working for a company called EDE
INGENIEROS, an engineering company specialized in energy subjects. It forms
parts of the LKS Group, one of the 120 cooperatives that make up MCC,
Mondragon Cooperative Corporation, the 8th largest business group in Spain.
EDE INGENIEROS is interested in developing turnkey plants that use the
biomass for power generation, with gasification technology, and we are
currently doing a market research, evaluating the technical-economical
viability of these projects. 

- I have some questions related to gasification, but I don´t know whether
you prefer to answer to me directly or bring them to the discussion group.
My questions are:

* I am concerned about emission problems when some types of biomass is
gasified. I am speaking about shredded tyres, plastics, coated/laminated
paper or rests of paints and varnish that it´s possible to find in refusal
wood (old furnitures for example). I know that shredded tyres are being
gasified by Foster Wheeler at lahti (Finland)

* I am searching for partners who can provide us the gasifier and want to
develop projects with us. The plant size I am thinking about is 5 MWe,
although this figure is not definitive.


Thanks for your help

Hope to hear about you soon

Best regards

Guillermo Matthies
