The PYROFORCE® technology
.

Wood gasification
The Pyroforce® process can be specially utilized for direct conversion of low quality and waste wood into electricity and heat; compared to combustion at superior efficiency. After years of development and testing we now dispose of a proven and economic solution for de-centralised production of heat and power from wood. The plant basically consists of the following modules: wood gasifyer, gas cleaning, gas motor.

Electricity and heat

One kilogram of dry wood (humidity approx. 10%) produces approx. 1.1 kW electrical power and
1.8 kW hot water at 90°C.
