Re: Licenses:
Dear Mr. Balmer:
We have been asked by a large foreign firm to estimate the cost of designing, constructing, commissioning and starting up an algal oil-to-biodiesel plant in Florida with a capacity of 30,000,000 gallons a year. While we could source our energy from the biodiesel, such would not be cost effective. We are interested in using syngas and biochar. The syngas would provide heat and electricity and the biochar, filtration of algal oil and polishing of the finished biodiesel. Would your firm be able to:
Sincerely yours,

The gasifier is basically a chemical reactor where biomass gets dried, heated, pyrolyzed, patialy oxidized and reduced. In gasification the combustion is carried out at sub stoichiometric conditions ( starvation of air ) to a fuel ratio of 1.5 : 1 to 1.8: 1. The gas obtained is called syngas or producer gas. The average composition is CO 20%, CH4 3%, H2 20%, CO2 12%, N2 54%.
Thermal energy in the order of 4.5 to 5.0 MJ is released by firing 1m3 of syngas. Depending on the system that we supply you 1.4 to 1.8 kgs of dry fuel will give you 1KW of electric power.
Biomass gasification in brief is the process that allows for the harvesting of combustible biomass gas (commonly known as Syngas) from various types of biomass and then using this new energy source to produce electricity and heat.
The company has the capability to develop and commercialize a wide range of biomass gasifiers ranging in size from as small as 35KW to 2MW output.
Our primary goal is to help customers process their biomass and create energy that is green, sustainable and will save large sums of money for their owners by eliminating high operating costs such as waste disposal, electricity and heating.
We provide turnkey operations that involve ,consultation, permiting, installation and training and evetually help our customers become self sustained for their energy needs.
With the rising costs of oil and natural gas biomass gasifiers are in ever-increasing demand for green and cheap energy to tap the enormous resources available such as wood chip, rice husk, saw dust, argicultural waste and many others.
In addition to the above stated savings we can help potential customers look into the possibility of obtaining :

Re: Syngas
Dear Olan Group:
We are interested in syngas as the fifth generation beyond biodiesel from algae. See attached paper. We are hoping to engage a company which can scale syngas to the equivalent joules of 30,000,000 gallons of biodiesel per year. Our use of syngas will be primarily for plant heat and electrical power. We can also use the carbonized biochar in polishing the finished biodiesel.
We are looking at desert locations in SW U.S. for growing algae forbiodiesel and grasses for syngas feedstock, many of which locations have brackish water which might be treated enough for crop use, using biochar. We estimate that biodiesel from algal oil will have a product cycle of 10 to 15 years, during and after which syngasoline will dominate the liquid fuel energy market.
We would like to know more of your engineering capability, size of processors in terms of output of syngas and biochar, and how you price your systems.
Sincerely yours,
James E. Miller

- Sell us a license to use your design for the Slow Pyrolysis works?
- Provide the engineering for a syngas/biochar plant scaled to the electric and heating needs of the operation (assume 5MW)?
- Provide working drawings, specifications, equipment sourcing and costing?
- Provide engineering supervision during construction?
- Commission the plant?
- Provide customer engineering support thereafter?

With the spiraling prices of conventional fuels and the polution levels of today , gasification is a true solution to your energy problems.
about us
We introduce ourselves as an organization in the forefront of development activities related to non-conventional energy sources and more specifically to Biomass Gasification.Biomass gasification in brief is the process that allows for the harvesting of combustible biomass gas (commonly known as Syngas) from various types of biomass and then using this new energy source to produce electricity and heat.
The company has the capability to develop and commercialize a wide range of biomass gasifiers ranging in size from as small as 35KW to 2MW output.

In addition to the above stated savings we can help potential customers look into the possibility of obtaining :
- -Grants or incentives from your local state government to cover a percentage of machinery and associated costs.
- -tax credits .
- -SREC for every MW produced (varies from state to state)
- -additional income from the sale of ash produced from biomass after the gasification process is completed.
