GAS-L: Small scale gasification technology, commercial status



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
