In summary, the fast pyrolysis and diesel engine system has great potential to generate electricity at a profit in the long term, and at a lower cost than any other biomass to electricity system at small scale. This future viability can only be achieved through the construction of early plant that could, in the short term, be more expensive than the combustion alternative. Profitability in the short term can best be achieved by exploiting niches in the market place and specific features of fast pyrolysis.
ENERGICO augments the benefits of combustion CFD by enabling rapid calculations of NOx, CO, Soot (PM) and Lean Blow Off (LBO) simulations using accurate fuel combustion models that are often too detailed to be run directly in CFD.
