Replace oil for wood gas

In GASEK HEAT and GASEK STEAM solutions, conventional fire-tube boilers equipped with a wood gas burner are used. The GASEK gasifier produces pure wood gas for combustion in the boiler. The gas is transferred and combusted while hot, thereby utilising the energy contained in wood in the most efficient manner. Replacing oil by wood chips results in considerable savings, which can amount to several hundred thousand euro.

Our solutions are available in the complete comprising a boiler, wood gas burner, wood chips silo, and machine room or retrofit where the wood gas burner is installed into the customer’s existing boiler configurations.
