[Gasification] APL Gasifier in the Microgrid at the 2018 Verge Conference

Sun Nov 11 10:51:57 CST 2018

It is actually easier to go to DC. So much process design is obsolete because engineers aren't willing to learn new ways. Disruptive, advancing technologies are being suppressed.

Dear Dr. Paul,

You stated, something about what benefit mankind could achieve, particularly, in what many refer to as, “Developing, Economies.”

I have always strived to be fair and moral (by my way of reckoning), and I would like to see more interest in TLUD. (Open cook-fires are a major  cause of chronic respiratory abuse!)

What lacked is a, “Build it! They will come,” attitude. But as in the wonderful metaphor, suggests: “Cream rises to the Top”. We must be energized ; nervous...and be ready for when all those Cyborg eggs start start hatching, and dues of today, become due, for the rest of our profligate society; as well as a wide swath of Church Ladies that just knew, (My Dear!!) but

Jess,

Is the price of grid power so high there that it is economical to generate power with a biomass system to sell power to the grid?

Electrical power topics are a bit outside of my base of knowledge.  So, I cannot comment about splitting of 3-phase power.  Maybe just create the power in single (split) phase.

But I do know something about charcoal gasification that can run internal combustion (IC) engines.   And about the making of appropriate charcoal.  You could use the heat from burning the pyrolysis gases for your drying purposes. 

Much depends on the amount of biomass you have available.  Some places are with such excess biomass that people pay to get rid of it, or give it freely.  A little more about your situation could clear that topic.  Much depends on how much you really need to create your own power with biomass.

HI Paul,
I run a woodchip/firewood business.
We are offgrid, with 3.5 kw of solar and a 5kw generator as backup.
We can get a connection to the grid of 30kwe but only single phase.
I would like to source a chp unit to provide power to us and also to the grid, plus use any heat for drying woodchip.
I presume you can split the 3 phase supply and export OK?
I am allright with nuts and bolts, currently running 2 biomass boilers and drying systems.
Thanks for your interest.
I have looked at the Spanner system but the price does not work with regards to the economic payback.
Yours,

Jess,

Could you please describe your situation more completely.    In terms of needs for what power for how many people/ businesses.   Then several of us could possibly better assist you.

HI Tom,
I live in Scotland and wonder how All Power Labs PP30 is performing?
We are off grid and produce woodchip, so it would be a good fit. I am just concerned about reliability.
