ApplicationsSUITABLE WASTE FUELSThe 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. To achieve this, solid materials are prepared by simple size reduction and drying, to ensure instant heat penetration to illicit the maximum calorific value from the feed material The process can accept a wide range of feedstock materials such as:
The Fuel Specification is simply a small particle size (<2ml in one plane), with a moisture content range of 5%-8%. Inerts and metals should be removed for recycling markets, any fragments that remain will not affect the process but would be found deposited in the char. The 5%-8% moisture content enhances the CV of the feedstock fuel, excess moisture (MSW typically contains 35%) in the Conversion process would reduce efficiency and contaminate the produced gas. Therefore, it is essential to prepare the fuel correctly in order that the conversion to gas is complete and consistent. The small particle size allows instant heat penetration, e.g. a thin flake, crumb, fibre, chip or granule. The higher the calorific value (CV) of the feed material, the higher the quality or CV of the produced gas. A mixture of both solids and liquids can be introduced into the converter together in order to create a particular gas if necessary. The converter itself is not effected in any way by the feedstock it receives. Processing waste oils would provide the basis for continuous generation of a controlled output, irrespective of the variability in the solid waste feed input. The resultant feedstock would be of very high calorific value, hence producing proportionally large quantities of high quality gas. |
