For a 5 MW biomass power generation project, Powermax offers three proven technology pathways. The optimal choice depends primarily on feedstock type and moisture content.
Core System Specifications at a Glance
| Parameter | WUFBG Fixed-Bed | CFBG Fluidized-Bed | Woodwatt Containerized |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 MW Configuration | 5 × WUFBG in parallel | 2 × CFBG3000 in parallel | 5 × Woodwatt 1000 in parallel |
| Feedstock Type | Chunky, wet biomass (chips/bark/EFB) | Fine, dry particles (husk/sawdust) | Wood chips / sawdust |
| Moisture Tolerance | ≤55% (wet basis) | ≤20% (wet basis) | ≤55% (wet basis) |
| Particle Size | 20–80 mm | ≤15 mm | 2–10 cm |
| Syngas Calorific Value | 1,200–1,800 Kcal/Nm³ | 1,200–1,300 Kcal/Nm³ | ~1,200 Kcal/Nm³ |
| Byproduct | High-quality biochar | Dry ash | Biochar / Tar |
| Delivery Method | On-site assembly | On-site assembly | Plug-and-play skid |
Three Technology Pathways Explained
1. WUFBG Updraft Fixed-Bed Gasification System
Key Advantage: Handles feedstock with up to 55% moisture content directly—no costly drying equipment required. Produces marketable biochar as an additional revenue stream.
Best Suited For: Projects using wet wood chips, bark, palm EFB, or bagasse from agricultural and forestry waste processing.
2. CFBG Circulating Fluidized-Bed Gasification System
Key Advantage: Engineered specifically for fine, dry materials like rice husk and sawdust. Large single-unit capacity delivers stable syngas output ideal for grid-connected power generation.
Best Suited For: Rice mills, straw-fired power plants, and other sites with an abundant supply of dry, granular feedstock.
3. Woodwatt Containerized Gasification System
Key Advantage: Factory pre-assembled in shipping containers. On-site installation takes just 7–10 days with no need for a dedicated powerhouse. Overall CHP efficiency reaches 85–90%.
Best Suited For: Forestry sites, remote mining operations, or any location with limited construction infrastructure requiring rapid power deployment.
Three-Step Selection Process
| Step | Key Question | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Does your feedstock moisture consistently exceed 30%? |
Yes → WUFBG or Woodwatt No → Proceed to Step 2 |
| 2 | Is your feedstock primarily fine particles (husk/sawdust)? |
Yes → CFBG Fluidized-Bed No → Proceed to Step 3 |
| 3 | Do you need immediate power and have minimal civil works? |
Yes → Woodwatt Containerized No → WUFBG |
