Case Study: Implementation of Gasification plant in Armagh, Northern Ireland, UK

Download Case Study: PDF Icon EnglishEnglish | FrançaisFrançais | PolskiPolski

Abstract

Gasification is transferring the combustible matters in organic waste or biomass into gas and pure char by burning the fuel via a restricted flow of oxygen. The technology has some clear advantages; with a minor loss in total energy it allows biomass in small-scaled engines and co-generation units - which with conventional technologies is not possible. The state of art of gasification is in rapid development, and in Armagh in Northern Ireland, the City Council has initiated an implementation of a gasification plant, where the gas is utilised in a small-scale co-generation unit.
