Biomass Gasification - Power Plants
AIR TECHNIC s.r.o. designs and builds complete biomass gasification power plants with IC engines and generators. In the year 2015 AIR TECHNIC s.r.o. successfully completed gasification technology development. Plant and technology’s technical parameters and commercial reliability are proven in continuous operation. Gasifier technology is registered at the Offices of Industrial Ownership of the Czech Republic under the Paragraph 11, Section 1, Item No. 478/1992 Sb., in full, inscribed in the Register as UTILIZATION SAMPLE No. 28354. Gasification is a termochemical conversion of carbonaceous materials (biomass) into combustible gases. This is achieved by reacting the material at high temperatures with a controlled amount of air or mixture of oxygen with steam, depending on the use of the generator gas.
Synthetic Fuels Production
From 2016 AIR TECHNIC co-operates with EXPANDER ENERGY INC due to the use of biomass gasification technology (system AIR TECHNIC) for the production of synthetic fuels – Biomass Gas to Liquids (BGTL). Expander Energy INC (www.expanderenergy.com) is a technology company providing innovative solutions for the environmental and economic production of Synthetic Fuels. Expander Energy fosters a culture of innovation through which create and develop new methods of carbon management, providing sustainability, environmental accountability, and the most advantageous path forward. Mission of Expander Energy is to revolutionize the fuels of today providing a bridge to the fuels of the future. Expander Energy Inc. is a privately held energy company located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Sludge Gasification
We are verifying the commercial use of a sewage sludge gasification for recycling phosphorus. By thermochemical processes biomass and organic substances can be transformed into further materials and chemicals. This is especially true for the phosphorus contained in the sewage sludge of municipal wastewater. The phosphorus content in the sewage sludge is on average 10 % P2O5 in dry matter sludge. In the case of gasification of sewage sludge, the output product (ash) is qualitatively comparable to phosphate fertilizer. The advantage of sewage sludge gasification at an operating temperature of up to 1100° C is the production of ash stripped of a number of heavy metals and endocrine-effect substances – endocrine disruptors (EDCs).
Biomass Drying
AIR TECHNIC designs and supplies technological equipment for biomass (wood chips) drying in power engineering. The purpose of the technological equipment is to dry the biomass, respectively reduction of water content in biomass due to an increase in energy value (calorific value). Technological equipment for drying wood chips consists of a separate wood chips dryer and AHU for supplying drying air to the dryer and natural or forced extracting of saturated air from the dryer. Continuous conveyor biomass dryer is designed to dry wood chips with 80-95 °C air using low-potential waste heat. Biomass dryers are designed to dry wood chips from 1.5 t/h to 6.0 t/h, depending on the volume of evaporated water given by the inlet and outlet moisture content of wood chips and the drying air temperature, respectively heat source power. Drying of larger volumes of wood chips is achieved by the parallel arrangement of dryers.
