Our Products in Use

Mühlbach / South Tyrol

Our wood gas plant for a glulam manufacturer in Mühlbach/South Tyrol went into service in October 2013. The special feature: The plant is not fired with wood chips but with wood briquettes. This required extensive research and testing in advance. Our wood gas plant runs in continuous operation day after day, year after year. It is reliable, low-maintenance and an indispensable part of our production process.

Bamberg / Germany

In Bamberg, an adventure pool is heated by means of our wood-fired power generation plant. The plant is purely heat-led. It has been providing reliable service since 2011.

Kushima Hospital / Japan

In 2021, a pellet-fired WE-50P CHP and high-efficiency chillers/heaters were installed at Kushima Hospital.

Dalquhandy / Schottland

A larger plant equipped with 8 modules is located in Scotland. It has been operating reliably since summer 2017, producing 1 MW of electricity along with the corresponding thermal output.

Fields of Application

Electricity and heat production can be used in different ways, depending on your needs. Here are a few examples.

Power Generation

Electricity can be fully or partially self-consumed. In addition, electricity can be sold on the free market and fed into the public grid.

Power fed into a Combined Heat and Power Plant

The gasifier can feed into a combined heat and power plant in parallel with a biogas plant.

Cooling Generation

In addition to heat, cold can also be produced in combination with an absorption refrigeration plant. Thus, our plants can provide added value all year round.

+Projects with cooling

Sampeyre, Italy

In early 2014, a 125 kW + 65 kW plant was commissioned in Sampeyre, Italy. The customer, a salami producer, uses the electricity and converts the generated heat into cold.

Special feature: “Hot version”, heat is extracted at 105 °C.

Annual operating time: +8,200 hours

Heat Generation

The heat can be used to heat buildings, to generate hot water or as process heat, e.g. for material drying. When generating process heat, the reliability of the plant is particularly important so as not to interrupt the production process.

+Projects with process heat

A manufacturer of glulam beams in Mühlbach, South Tyrol, connected a 125 kWel plant to the grid in October 2013 and is currently supplying 139 kWel.

The special feature: The plant is not fired with wood chips but with wood briquettes.

Annual operating time: +8,600 hours

Wegscheid, Germany

The prototype plant has been in operation in Wegscheid since 2009 and generates 125 kWel.

The electricity is fed into the utility grid, the heat is sold as process heat to three neighboring companies and used for heating.

Own Consumption and Energy Supply

Our products are suitable both for captive use for companies and for feeding into the public power grid (neighboring companies or residential complexes).

Drinking Water Production

In combination with a condensation plant, heat can even be used to produce drinking water from the air.

Fuels

Pellets

Wood pellets are compressed wood shavings that are mainly made from sawdust. As they have a uniform shape and high quality, they are very suitable for our biomass CHP plants. The pellets are transported to the gasifier via a hose conveyor.

 

Advantages
    – Space-saving alternative, as the pellets are ready for processing
    – High standardization and therefore good gasification
    – The clean and tidy alternative
    – Less service and maintenance work for the machines

Wood Chips

Wood chips are produced from residual wood, e.g. from forest wood, sawmill by-products or industrial waste wood. Wood chips are particularly suitable as fuel for combined heat and power plants in rural areas, as more space is required to store the material. The wood chips are transported to the gasifier by a screw conveyor, where they are converted into wood gas.

 

Advantages
    – Inexpensive material
    – Easy to use for sawmills or other woodworking industries
    – Supplier market is very developed and therefore the deliveries are easier to plan

Wood Briquettes

Wood residues from wood processing, such as planing or sawdust, are compressed into wood briquettes.

 

Advantages
    – Inexpensive material
    – Easy to use for sawmills or other woodworking industries
    – Supplier market is very developed and therefore the deliveries are easier to plan

Haben Sie noch Fragen?

Wir haben die Antworten zu wichtigen Fragen für Sie zusammengetragen?

Lohnt sich ein Biomasse-Blockheizkraftwerk für mein Unternehmen?

Ein Biomasse-Blockheizkraftwerk mit Holzverstromung lohnt sich vor allem für Unternehmen, die für ihren Betrieb konstant große Mengen an Wärmeenergie benötigen – und das auch im Sommer. Denn: Ein Biomasse-Blockheizkraftwerk ist nur dann maximal wirtschaftlich, wenn es eine bestimmte Stundenzahl pro Jahr unter Volllast arbeitet. Alternativ kann im Sommer überschüssige Wärmeenergie aber auch in Kälte umgewandelt werden.
