Blue Tower

Is a reformer ( gasifier ) scaled biomass in a solid bed. What is the BLUE TOWER ? Is a reformer ( gasifier ) scaled biomass in a solid bed. Basically composed of: a pyrolisys furnace ( gasifier ) a reformer furnace a solid bed furnace heater.

What is GASIFICATION? Gasification is the process in which fragments the BIOMASS (solid fuel) with the use of heat in an atmosphere with little or no oxygen supply, to generate a combustible gas mixture. It is well known and developed since the year 1839.

What is REFORMER ? Steam Reformer is the most common method of producing hydrogen from a mixture of gases and / or hydrocarbons. Also known as synthesis gas. Known and developed since the years before 1900.

Synthesis Gas In 1923, in Germany, the Company Badische Anilin Soda Fabrik (BASF) produced methanol from synthesis gas. Also in 1923, Fischer y Tropsch produced Synthol: mixture of alcohols, aldehydes and ketones. Synthetic oil, long-chain hydrocarbons without oxygen.

Typical Composition of the Synthesis Gas Carbon Dioxide Hydrogen Carbon Monoxide Methane Propane Nitrogen

Gasification is without the presence of excess oxygen or free. NOT Dioxins e Furans These substances are some of the known carcinogens, which represents a major risk to health and the environment.

Real Needs Making of biomass (waste) a power source; Retrieve the landfill ; Reduce methane emissions; Carbon credits as income generation; Recovery of products – recycling for maximum; Combating the spread of diseases; Eliminate landfill; Eliminate contamination of the groundwater; Reduce the responsibility on environment.

New World Order Problems with the envoironmeent; Greenhouse effect; Kyoto Treaty; Scarce fossil fuels; Physical space for destination; The destination (landfill) more distant; Lack of water; Environmental liabilities.

New World Order Reduce waste production. Collection . Governments; Manufacturers; Supliers Citizens. Collection . City – Governments; Companies; Citizens Residential – Division of : DRY and WET ; Industrial, Health, Toxic, etc. Maximum recycling.
