Independent Power Plant Using Wood Waste

摘要

A 1 MWe power plant using waste wood fuel is to be installed at a U. S. Marine Corps base, which will supply all wood from a landfill site. The core energy conversion technology is a down-draft gasifier supplying approximately 150 Btu/scf gas to both spark ignition and diesel dual-fuel engine-generator sets. Features of the plant design include: (1) grinding wood fuel from a wide range of waste resources, (2) specialized screening for fines removal, (3) complete tar and other waste product control without landfill disposal, and (4) use of process beat for bulk fuel drying, gasifier air pre-beating, and wastewater evaporation.
