Following are a few key features:

Improved Gasification Process:

• Multi-stage and process-separated architecture for individual control of various stages
• Swirl hearth allows feedstock flexibility by removing dependence on void space for tar conversion
• Complete tar conversion via internally integrated partial-combustion cracker chamber
• Reduced clinkering due to removal of air blast from char bed
• Forced convection pyrolysis reactor for controlled pyrolysis ramp rate and high heat transfer for high throughput
• High-temp biochar removal from reactor to isolated cooling chamber prevents pollutant condensation on char.

Excellent Carbon and Gas Outputs – Extensive testing and process refinement for more than a decade results in high-quality product outputs:

• Exceptionally clean biochar which meets USBI, IBI, EBC standards with less than 6 mg/kg PAH
• Engine-grade gas composition whose tar fraction at only 5-50 mg/m3 at reactor exit allows simplified final gas clean up for engine or syngas up-migration
• Low emissions profile 

Smart Technology – Smarter than any previous APL products, the CharPallet uses Internet of Things (IoT) protocols and systems that include:

• Extended control and sensor automation
• New friendlier User Interface (UI) and process control systems
• Data Collection to support Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) for carbon markets
• Automated operations including start-up and shutdown
• Internet of Things (IoT) protocols to allow wireless integration with third-party platforms

Modular Design – The v3.0 biomass gasification system is configurable to support the following use cases:

• Biochar Production – Biochar production and use are widely accepted and vital components of Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) and biochar markets. The CharPallet can process up to 25 kg/hr biomass producing up to 5 kg/hour of high-quality, high-temperature, electrically conductive SkyCarbon biochar which has been certified to IBI standards.
• Research and Development – The CP25 is an ideal platform for R&D in the renewable energy, alternative fuel and biomass conversion demonstration and experimentation with the addition of on-board gas filtration system and a customizable suite of sensors, data-recording options, and control feedback algorithms. The system generates clean and consistent producer gas output making it an excellent solution for various biofuel applications, particularly Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), gaseous-to-liquid fuel conversions, hydrogen production, or other novel biomass/syngas programs. Please contact APL for a quote.
• Electrical Power Generation – The CP25 has been abstracted with the well-considered selection of components and mechanical design that simplifies integration with a wide range of engine and generator sets.
• Thermal Power Generation – The v3.0 biomass gasification system can also be configured to extract up to 50 kWth of heat.
• Carbon Removal – APL has been working with biologists, agronomists, farmers, and climate researchers to perfect biochar application techniques and Biochar Carbon Removal (BCR) technology, which has recently been promoted by the EU Parliament’s AGRI committee to have equal standing with with other carbon removal techniques such as Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS) and Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS). The production of high-durability biochar in all use-cases and configurations makes the v3.0 gasification system a simple and accessible solution for immediate, scalable, distributed carbon removal.
