Hello,
We are writing from Chile. We are looking for proven biomass gasification
technology for the production of thermal and/or electrical energy. We are
interested in the small scale range, about 20 – 100kW.
We have seen many gasification systems, which works with Diesel engines.
Which are the reasons to use diesel instead of spark ignition engines? Which
could be the problems working with a spark ignition engine? The microturbine gas
technology has not reach a commercial status yet working with lean gas? If the
microturbine are already commercially adopted, in which cases you suggest the
microturbine option instead of the diesel group for electricity generation
How work the gasification technology fed with sawdust?, There are some
application of that size working in cogeneration mode or dual system: direct
flame and/or electricity generation?
Thanks to all
