Sucessful Run of Second Pilot Gasification Campaign
Tests of gasification of charcoal powder was carried out as part of the verification of Wood Roll. The technique has worked well, and effects up to 150 kW Energy gas has been produced in an indirect heated reactor. Click here to view the press release.
Mass flows show high mobility of char / charcoal to Energy gas (syngas). Gas analysis shows more than half of the product content is hydrogen. Carbon monoxide is lower. Carbon dioxide and methane are present at lower partial pressures (which is not necessarily the case in a full facility that operated at higher operating temperature). Combustion of Energy gas produced in an oxygen atmosphere shows low emissions.
The results are not only promising but now shows that the process in full scale can be expected to give the calculated exchange rates which is very positive for all prospective clients, Cortus AB and partners.

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.
