GASIFICATION AND CHP POWER GENERATION PLANT
RUNNING ON BIOMASS



General View. Biomass gasification plant 1000 Kg/ h.

EQTEC IBERIA IS BUILDING AN INTEGRATED BIOMASS GASIFICATION COGENERATION POWER PLANT
(IBGPP), at t he al cohol di st i l l ery of t he company MOSTOS, VINOS Y ALCOHOLES, SA (MOVIALSA), l ocat ed at
Campo de Cri pt ana (CIUDAD REAL). CHP pl ant has an el ect ri cal out put of 5,9 MW and produces 5600
Kg/ h of sat urat ed st eam at 6 bar(g) and 159 m3/ h of hot wat er at 90 C, whi ch are used by t he al cohol
f act ory. IBGPP pl ant wi l l gasi f y 4000 Kg/ h of wast e bagasse f rom t he al cohol f act ory and wi l l al l ow t ot al
