We turn gasification upside down!

With the Blue Tower we solve 2 major problems: first and foremost it is a clean and environmentally friendly waste & sewage sluge disposal system, and secondly we create clean renewable energy.

The Blue Tower turns classical gasification upside down! Classical gasification turns the complete input material into a product gas, the Blue Tower process rests on the simple fact, that under gasification conditions, only a little portion of the input material is converted into a pyrolysis char capable to be gasified. These small char quantities can be burnt as well in order to produce gasification process heat. Around 80% of the input material turns into pyrolysis gas by simple reforming with steam in a pure gas phase reaction using the process heat. Unlike with air gasification, the product gas quality can optimally be undiluted by flue gas from the separate char combustion.
The second most important factor is the use of a circulating bulk material as heat carrier. Coupling the process heat into the pyrolysis plus reformer stage means: always clean heat exchanger surfaces, always optimum heat transfer and the possibility to use input materials with difficult slagging, fouling, and corrosion problems.
