Advantages of Alternative Fuel Generation 

Gasification technology has been available for many years and is well proven.  We have s refined this technology and developed an environmentally responsible, near-zero emission process that can be used to produce either ethanol or synthetic natural gas (Syngas).  Our Syngas burns as clean or cleaner than natural gas and can be burned on-site to produce electricity or transported by pipeline to other markets.  

The raw material for our unique Gasification technology is the waste from forestry, sawmills, beetle destroyed wood, grass clippings, pulp & paper mills, Municipal solid waste, sludge, animal waste and similar can all be feedstock. All ‘stuff,’ called biomass, which society creates but does not want! The resulting SynGas or ethanol being produced from biomass, meets all Federal requirements for use as "green" fuel. Also by blending (5-15%) with regular gas it can work in any vehicle creating a more cleanly burning fuel (this will eventually be mandated by Fed Gov't). The market for ethanol is measured in Billions of gallons per year.  It is a commodity market which is growing rapidly because of government policies, international treaties such as the Kyoto Protocol, and pollution concerns. It can be used to power Metro buses for example, and therefore reduce emissions & save on fossil fuel!  

The resulting SynGas can also be used to generate electricity as mentioned, and such a facility is scaleable in size and cost, generating economically viable alternative "green" energy, ranging from 2 to 250 megawatt power plants. This is the most realistic cost effective idea out there today!

What is Gasification? 

When linked with modern combined cycle turbines, gasification is one of the most efficient, environmentally effective means of producing electricity from solid or liquid feedstocks.

The gasification process converts any carbon-containing material into a synthesis gas composed primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can be used as a fuel to generate electricity or steam or used as a basic chemical building block for a large number of uses in the petrochemical and refining industries. Gasification adds value to low- or negative-value feedstocks by converting them to marketable fuels and products.

Gasification technologies differ in many aspects but share certain general production characteristics. Typical raw materials used in gasification are coal, petroleum based materials (crude oil, high sulfur fuel oil, petroleum coke, and other refinery residuals), gases, or materials that would otherwise be disposed of as waste. The feedstock is prepared and fed to the gasifier in either dry or slurried form. The feedstock reacts in the gasifier with steam and oxygen at high temperature and pressure in a reducing (oxygen starved) atmosphere. This produces the synthesis gas, or SynGas, made up primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen (more than 85% by volume) and smaller quantities of carbon dioxide and methane.

The high temperature in the gasifier converts the inorganic materials in the feedstock (such as ash and metals) into a vitrified material resembling coarse sand. With some feedstocks, valuable metals are concentrated and recovered for reuse. The vitrified material, generally referred to as slag, is inert and has a variety of uses in the construction and building industries.

Gas treatment facilities refine the raw gas using proven commercial technologies that are an integral part of the gasification plant. Trace elements or other impurities are removed from the SynGas and are either recirculated to the gasifier or recovered. Sulfur is recovered either in its elemental form or as sulfuric acid, both marketable commodities.

If the SynGas is to be used to produce electricity, it is typically used as a fuel in an integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power generation configuration.

IGCC is the cleanest, most efficient means of producing electricity from coal, petroleum residues and other low- or negative-value feedstocks. The combined cycle system has two basic components. A high efficiency gas turbine, widely used in power generation today, burns the clean SynGas to produce electricity. Exhaust heat from the gas turbine is recovered to produce steam to power traditional high efficiency steam turbines.

The SynGas can also be processed using commercially available technologies to produce a wide range of products, fuels, chemicals, fertilizer or industrial gases. Some facilities have the capability to produce both power and products from the SynGas, depending on the plant’s configuration as well as site specific technical and market conditions.

Bio Mass to Energy, Living Green 

Turn expensive waste into $175 per ton Ethanol.  Our technology replaces bugs, enzeymes and time with heat, pressure and turbulent flow.  We can compress a small period of time and produce clean and green Synthetic Designer Gas "SynGas".  This naturally created "SynGas" can power Engines and produce Electricity.
