Cortus’ first batch of Syngas produced in 500kW prototype
2011-09-08 23:38
Cortus’ 500kW prototype of the WoodRoll® gasifier has successfully produced the first batch of green Syngas in tests at Lidingö, Stockholm on August 31, 2011.
“These are extremely exciting times for us as we see a 500 kW system really delivering first class Syngas for the first time. This is really a significant step towards the full commercialization of our gasification technology”, commented Cortus CEO Rolf Ljunggren.
Results of the Syngas composition produced have verified earlier tests. Now Cortus’ target is set on optimizing these results further. The next step for Cortus will be to incorporate a pyrolysis reactor to the current prototype gasifier set-up.
Visitors from Sweden, Germany, China and the US, have expressed great excitement regarding the progress with Cortus’ WoodRoll® biomass gasification technology.
