Dear Tom,
It appears to me that their original strategy with that business unit was to do co-generation. They do the other things mentioned further down in the text of the following page:

in order to keep their personnel productivity "wheel" round, in my opinion.

regards,
Ron

Ron,

Thanks. It is encouraging that they have taken on gasification since they appear to already make other wood heating appliances.

Regards,

Tom

Dear Tom,
I've spent quite a bit of time reading through their website and have been trying to get schedule //ed to get over and see one of their units, but haven't had time when needed. I'll keep you appraised if I get more info. It's definitely neither a fly-by-night nor otherwise non-serious operation. The numbers for general categories as to hours / year to break even/make money, amounts of fuel consumption, type of fuel, etc. look very good to me, but I'm no engineer.

They appear to be gearing up to add to their line of 30kWE and 45kWE co-generation units with one in the range of 150kWE. Apparently the gasifier is pretty close to ready, since they have released a video of a pretty good looking flare with claimed output between 300-400kWTh. From the sound of it, it's pretty hot and it looks pretty good, too.

regards,
Ronald von Erkältungsnachwehen

    We have been hearing that Spanner in Germany has sold about 130
    gasifiers for heat (to 10 kWth) and power (up the 45 kWe) for wood
    chips. http://www.holz-kraft.de/en/

    Does anyone have direct experience with these gasifiers?

    Thanks

    Tom
