Cortus’ first batch of Syngas produced in 500kW prototype

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.

High temperature combustion in process industries demands high calorific and clean fuels. Cortus is building the future of innovative and sustainable energy supply for the process industries based upon our new biomass gasification technology - WoodRoll ®. We supply clean renewable synthesis gas to energy intensive industries such as glass, pulp and paper, cement, minerals and lime.

WoodRoll is a new gasification technology processing biomass into clean gaseous fuel. This patented gasification process is divided into three steps, namely drying, pyrolysis and gasification. Unique to the WoodRoll is that the produced char is gasified in an indirectly heated reactor: the carbon is gasified with steam and produces synthesis gas. The char and steam are thus not mixed with the exhaust from combustion or nitrogen from the air. This produces a clean synthesis gas which is free from condensable tar residues and nitrogen aggregates.
