10 MW Biomass Power Plant | Powermax Turnkey Gasification Solution

For industrial operators, agricultural processors, and project developers seeking a 10 MW biomass power plant, Powermax delivers a complete, proven gasification-based power generation system. Our solution converts locally available agricultural and forestry residues into clean electricity – 24/7, with high efficiency, low emissions, and additional revenue from biochar and carbon credits.

Why Choose Powermax for Your 10 MW Biomass Power Plant?

Challenge Powermax Solution
Unstable grid / diesel dependence Continuous 8,000+ hours/year operation, island or grid‑connected
High fuel moisture (up to 55%) UFBG updraft fixed bed gasifier – no pre‑drying needed
Fine, dusty feedstocks (rice husk, sawdust) CFBG circulating fluidized bed gasifier
Tar & particulate damage to engines Dry ESP + multi‑stage cooling – no bag filters, low maintenance
Low overall efficiency CHP design: power + heat (steam / hot water) from waste heat recovery
Missed revenue streams Biochar for soil / carbon credits – extra income

Technical Architecture – 10 MW Biomass Gasification Power Plant

A typical Powermax 10 MW system consists of:

  • Fuel handling & feeding – for rice husk, wood chips, palm shells, bagasse, straw, etc.
  • Gasification island – multiple UFBG or CFBG gasifiers (e.g. 2 × 5 MW or 4 × 2.5 MW modules)
  • Dry gas purification – cyclone + ESP + indirect coolers → clean syngas (tar < 50 mg/Nm³)
  • Power generation – high‑speed gas engines (500–1500 rpm) with Siemens alternators
  • Heat recovery – exhaust gas boiler for steam / hot water (CHP)
  • Biochar collection – dry ash discharge, ready for soil amendment or carbon removal credits

Key Parameters (10 MW scale)

Parameter Value
Rated power output 10,000 kW
Fuel consumption ~4 – 6 tons/hour (depends on LHV)
Syngas LHV 1,200 – 1,800 kcal/Nm³
Cold gas efficiency 70 – 75%
Overall CHP efficiency 85 – 90%
Annual runtime > 8,000 hours
Footprint (approx.) 1,200 – 1,500 m² (modular layout)
Biomass Gasifier Types

Proven Large‑Scale Reference: Myanmar 12 MW Rice Husk Power Plant

Location: Yangon, Myanmar
Start year: 2023 (commissioned, currently operating at 6 MW, designed for 12 MW)
Feedstock: Rice husk
Solution: 12 rice‑husk‑optimized DFBG gasifiers + 12 syngas purification trains + 27 × 500 kW gas gensets (24 duty + 3 standby) + large gas buffer tank

What the customer achieved:
24/7 power for rice mill, feed mill, fish farm – overcoming 2 hours/day grid supply
Zero reliance on diesel – using waste rice husk as free or low‑cost fuel
Additional revenue – rice husk biochar sold as fertilizer
Waste heat – steam and hot water from genset exhaust for onsite processes
Carbon credit pipeline – actively being verified for CDR (carbon dioxide removal)

This project proves that a 10–12 MW biomass power plant is not only technically feasible but also economically attractive in regions with agricultural waste.

Modular & Scalable – From 5 MW to 20 MW

Our systems are built on standardized gasifier modules (100 kW to 3,000 kW per unit). For a 10 MW biomass power plant, we typically offer:

  • Option A (high moisture / mixed feedstock): 4 × 2.5 MW UFBG units
  • Option B (fine, dry feedstock): 5 × 2 MW CFBG units
  • Option C (space‑saving, fast deployment): 10 × 1 MW Biowatt containerised units

All configurations include dry gas cleaning, engine hall, heat recovery, and full automation (PLC with remote monitoring).

Environmental & Economic Benefits

Benefit Impact
CO₂ reduction ~70,000 – 80,000 tons/year (vs. grid or diesel)
Biochar production ~15 – 20% of feedstock weight → saleable soil amendment
Waste elimination Converts agricultural residues into value instead of burning or landfill
Payback period Typically 3 – 5 years depending on local fuel cost, electricity tariff, and carbon credit price
