WOOD GAS

In Güssing there is an important plant where wood gas is produced. In order to produce wood gas a special process is necessary. The gasificaction happens without . The gas that is the result of the gasification is called . It contains a lot of gases. The highest percentage consists of . The most important flammable gas for producing electricity and for other uses is .
The plant in Güssing is able to produce 4,5 MW and 2 MW out of 8 MW wood chips. Therefore the plant has an efficiency of 80 % to %. Compared to a steam turbine it has an efficiency of 35 % to %.
The equipment for producing wood gas is called . For this process we need a high temperature. This temperature is produced in the chamber. The heat is transported by a special mineral. It is called .
After this process the temperature of the gas must be decreased. The heat resulting from cooling the gas is used in the local grid. The is produced by a gas engine generator. In order to be able to use the gas two steps are necessary. First the gas has to be filtered to get rid of the ash and then the is washed out. Now this purified wood gas can be used in a engine. The gas still consists of 12 % methane. The produced gas can be used for lots of different uses but the percentage of methane has to be increased from 12% to %. This process is done in the plant. The gas that results from this process is equal to gas. This gas can be used in cars driven by a gas engine or a fuel . It is also possible to produce fuel for cars. This fuel is called .
