The "System Johansson Gasproducer", when operated according
to the Operation and
Maintenance Manual, produces tar free gas suitable as fuel for
internal combustion
engines.
Five standard types are available with a capacity range of 120
to 850 Nm3/hr to power
electric generators from 50 to 400 KVA. Larger Types with higher
outputs can be designed
on demand.
Average Production Ratio is 1,2 kg wood = 1 KVA, depending on
the type of fuel and its
moisture content.
The SJG can operate 24 hours / day continuously without being
stopped for refuelling and
deashing.
Operating lifespan is estimated at plus 20 years.
Operating is done by skilled Tractor Diesel Mechanics, which
will be properly trained.
Maintenance Work and cost are minimal.
Besides Hard- and Soft Wood a number of Agricultural waste can
be used as fuel by hard compacting into briquettes.
Operation is safe when carried out in accordance with the
comprehensive manual.
For larger plants semi and full automatic options are
available on specific demand.
Process effluents, like condensate can be recycled at low cost
and the scrubber / cooler
water can be used for a long period of time and is non toxic.
With hot gas- and combustion air fans, applying a special
design Woodgas Burner the SJG
can used as heat source for driers, boilers and small turbines.
