Hi Tom,
Do you have any reports or similar available from the testing you
mention below on the APL systems?
And even if the sawmill was using a lot more power than (20 + 10) kWe I
would have thought that if the mill is out in the boonies somewhere it
would be paying a lot/kWh for electricity. So even 30kWe would be
useful. Especially since they have biomass available onsite. Was there
another issue such as getting the chip characteristics correct?
Thanks
David

Thomas,

We need to distinguish between small gasifiers intended for intermittent use or
daily power only and gasifiers like the Spanner that are intended for
continuous generation. We bought 10 kWe and 20 kWe All Power Labs Power Pallets
in 2011 and after testing them at a university we installed them at a sawmill
in Alaska in 2012. (The mill hasn?t used them because they were too small for
the mill loads and we haven?t gotten them relocated to a village where they
could be useful for small laods.) APL has probably built a couple of hundred 20
kWe power pallets since then. The APL power pallet makes a nice clean gas at a
low capital cost. Like the small Ankurs and their clones they are batch fed and
are probably used a few hours per day.
