    • Phoenix BioEnergy LLC combines several proprietary technologies for optimal Biomass Conversion
    • Phoenix BioEnergy's gasification system uses starved air gasification technology
    • Phoenix BioEnergy uses a large diameter heat tolerant auger as a positive feed
    • Phoenix BioEnergy's gasification system has multiple control zones that manage moisture, gasification and fixed carbon
    • Phoenix BioEnergy's gasification system utilizes a horizontal cylinder with embedded air heating capability for primary combustion of air with flame stabilization and controlled gas discharge
    • Phoenix BioEnergy's gasification systems are modular in design and can be built in half the time of conventional gasification systems
    • Poenix Bioenergy's gasification plants can be used to generate 25 to 100 MW of electric power, using biomass from nearby sources.  Biomass fuels consist of residual waste from forestry and wood production industries, as well as construction and agricultural facilities

    Phoenix BioEnergy's Auger Gasification System

    Phoenix BioEnergy utilizes the auger gasifier, a combination of several different technologies.  The auger gasifier employs a horizontal chamber having a large diameter auger; the auger is both resilient to high heat and is abrasion resistant.  Beneath the auger, the fluidized bed used to suspend the carbon biofuel contributes heat transference through the suspended aggregate into the biofuel; thus enhancing gasification efficiency. Primary air enters the gasifier by circulating through the refractory embedded, underfire air tubes.  Above the gasifier, air enters into one of the four air chambers, which are individually controlled sections, wherein a desired fuel weight to air volume ratio is maintained through out the gasifier. The carbon fuel enters the feed chamber. The first gasification section dries the biofuel, thus releasing the contained moisture; if moisture content is excessive, it is routed through the flame stabilization duct bypassing the gasification process. The second gasifier section is designed to release the gas from the biofuel. The third section is a combination section designed to complete the gasification cycle from the second section and to begin the fixed carbon cycle. The fourth gasification section is to gasify the remaining fixed carbon within the carbon biofuel source. Exiting the gasifier, the discharging syngas that has been removed from the carbon biofuel source is routed either to a boiler furnace or to an afterburner to complete the combustion process. Upon depleting the carbon from the biofuel, the exhaust is deposited into an exhaust conveying system for removal.
