Intervate develops, designs and delivers advanced thermal conversion systems to produce renewable power and heat using a wide spectrum of biomass and waste feedstock.
Gasification is a long-established technology, albeit one which has been overlooked in recent decades. The most widely deployed gasification technology generally takes the form of a classic Imbert downdraft gasifier in which the feedstock passes through a series of reaction zones to produce a synthetic gas composed mainly of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane. The Imbert designs, and their variants, have been in use for well over 80 years.
The primary challenge to widespread adoption of gasification systems has been the area of gas clean-up - producing a syngas that is sufficiently clean (free of particulates and tars) to run an internal combustion engine and meet stringent environmental standards. In recent years the application of established technology solutions such as ceramic filters and venturi scrubbers has resulted in these challenges being overcome, leaving the way open for gasification to provide a compelling template for small scale, biomass fired renewable energy facilities.
