EFFICENT GAS CONVERSION

The Gas Conversion philosophy starts with a simple premise ? to satisfy the need for energy through the discovery of fuel stocks as alternatives to fossil fuels. GEM views all kinds of materials as potential fuels for renewable energy and has developed a process to give the highest energy conversion efficiency.

The GEM Converter module has been designed to convert 1.5 tonnes per hour of suitable feed material into gas on a continuous basis. Prepared fuel is continuously fed into the GEM Converter via an auger mechanism, at an optimum rate. Once inside the converter, heat instantly penetrates the particles, efficiently cracking them into a clean synthetic gas.

To optimise efficiency, great care has been taken in the design of the system to eliminate air entering the process and to prevent produced gas escaping. The gas is retained within the converter for up to 50 seconds to maintain the heat transfer and maximise efficiency, it is then cooled and cleaned before use in a power island.
