Correct Biomass for Gasification.

� The correct biomass fuel is essential for long term

functionality and efficiency of the Woodgas CHP.

Forest woodchip.: 100%

Bark.: 5%

Sapwood.: 30%

Moisture Content.: 5 < w < 15 %

Heating Value.: 4,2 – 4,8kWh/kg

Granulation.: 40% 110-130mm

60-100% 60-110mm

20% 20-60mm

5% < 20mm

Solution

� URBAS supply drying and screening systems which enable

the user to operate the plant on fresh materials without

the need for extra unwanted manipulation of material.
