In terms of energy, biomass can be considered all organic material
generated by photosynthesis; any organic residue from the agro-livestock
and agro-food industries; As well as solid municipal waste and
sludge from sewage farms.
Guascor has new technology for gasifying different types
of biomass; rice husks, olive cake from olive pressing, wood
chips, etc.
The gasification plants are based on a modular concept and
are able to process between 8,000 and 60,000 tons of biomass
per year. The gas obtained from the gasification plants is
used as a fuel for the Guascor gensets, which convert it into
electricity that can be used for self-consumption or exported
to the national grid.
The high performance of the Guascor biomass gasification
plants and the later production of electricity with the gensets
represents a competitive solution when compared with conventional
boiler-fired system.
