Advanced Gasification-Based Fuel Conversion and Electric Energy Production System

Abstract

The objective of this project is the development and commercial demonstration of an advanced biomass gasification-based power generation system at Boise Cascade Corporation's pulp and paper mill in DeRidder, Louisiana. The advanced power generation system is intended to meet the immediate needs of the forest products industry for highly efficient and environmentally friendly electricity and steam generation systems utilizing existing wood waste as the primary fuel resource. The novel system is based on three advanced technology components: GTI's RENUGAS  and 3-stage solid fuels combustion technologies coupled with one of the power generation approaches used in DOE's HIPPS program.
