FastOx Gasifier
Sierra Energy is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the FastOx Gasifier. As part of this equipment package, a project developer would receive:
- A technology license.
- Major equipment (vessels, feedequipment, and slag removal).
- Burners and oxygen/steam lances.
- Automation and controls.
- Commissioning assistance and operator training.
Waste Heat Boiler or Syngas Quench
- Selection of waste heat boiler or direct quench will be based on project heat integration study.
- The waste heat boiler will be supplied by a specialist vendor.
- The techno-economic analyses offered by Sierra Energy, as part of its engineering package, will support developers in making these decisions.
Multi-Stage Gas Cleaning
- The waste cleaning section removes tar and soot from the raw syngas exiting the gasifier.
- The multi-stage gas cleaning configuration is specified in Sierra Energy’s process design package (PDP).
- The gas cleaning section uses commercially available equipment from 3rd party vendors.
- The soot removed from the syngas is recycled to the gasifier.
Balance of Plant
- The developer is responsible for engineering and designing equipment upstream and downstream of the FastOx Gasification Isle.
Waste Reception and Processing
The project developer is responsible for ensuring feedstock is adequately prepared for the FastOx gasification process.
- Waste entering the gasifier should be between 0.5 and 2 inches (12mm to 50mm) in size.
- Feedstock up to 20% moisture typically does not require pre-drying.
- Ash content below 15% is best for efficiency.
- Feedstock lower heating value above 12-15 MJ/kg (dry basis) is ideal.
- Heterogenous waste streams including blends of different waste sources are acceptable.
Syngas to End-Product Conversion
- The developer is responsible for the end-product technology.
- Sierra Energy will work with the developer to ensure syngas meets required specifications.
- Common end-products include hydrogen, methanol, renewable natural gas, and electricity.
Yield Calculator
Select options
1. Choose Feedstock
FastOx gasifiers can handle mixed waste and blending feedstocks to increase yield is possible. For this simple tool however, please select only one feedstock. Energy value, moisture content and ash content have the biggest impact on yield.
-
MSW
-
Agriculture or Cellulosic
-
Medical
-
C&D
2. Choose System Size
Sierra Energy’s commercial gasifier is designed for 100MTPD. To achieve higher volumes several gasifiers would be required. Single stream waste preparation and gas cleaning isles are used.
- 100 MTPD
- 200 MTPD
- 500 MTPD
3. Choose End-Product (if desired)
Sierra Energy does not provide the technology to convert syngas to an end product so the yields shown are only indicative based on syngas output. Numbers will vary depending on project configuration.
- Hydrogen
- Electricity
- Methanol
- Ammonia
- RNG
