Fuels
The Refgas Gasifier can run on wide range of biomass
providing it meets a minimum particle size, minimum CV and
maximum moisture content.
Typical types of fuels used :-
Energy Crops, such as miscanthus
Virgin woodchip, from sawmills
Recycled waste wood, from local suppliers, simply requires chipping Recycled waste wood, from local suppliers, simply requires chipping

Refgas System
The Refgas 1MW CHP system has a small footprint and can be
fitted into an area as small as 25m x 25m including the full
gasification system, engines, fuel storage and materials
handling.

Refgas System
Refgas have developed a 1MW CHP gasification system that
produces syngas suitable for running engines.
The system is built into container based skids that makes
transportation installation simple. This means that equipment
is fully tested in the factory before arriving at site minimising
commissioning time.

Refgas 24/7 Operation
Renewable energy from biomass is able to run 24/7
The Refgas system is able to run for up to 8000 hours/ year
Unlike other renewable energy sources, the Refgas system
can provide base load at all times without being dependant
on wind, sun or tides.

PLC Controlled
We have designed the system to require minimal human
intervention, with the gasifier running automatically via our
specially developed PLC program. It can also be operated and
monitored via SCADA
We have put the process through independent HAZ-OPs ,
DSEAR and LOPA studies to ensure the system is safe. This
helped develop the safety systems included within the PLC helped develop the safety systems included within the PLC
program
