Miscellaneous
Dust Collection
System Integration
Etc.

8. Biomass Handling System
Primary Grinding
Secondary Grinding
Magnetic Separator
Storage
Biomass Conveying
Bin Hoppers
Magnetic
Separator

9. Primary Grinding Tub Grinder Wood Chipper
Takes large pieces of biomass and reduces to 5”-8”
Reduces large pieces of biomass to size that can be fed into secondary grinding device

10. Secondary Grinding Hammermill Grinder
Reduces 5”-8” chip into 12mm or smaller chip
Reduces biomas to size necessary to be fed into CHyP system

11. Storage Drag Rake System Silo For use with smaller systems
Biomass stall that feeds biomass into system with the use of an automated rake system
For use with larger installations
30’D x 98’H silo with metering auger
Silo storage also requires use of Truck Dump Pit and Bucket Elevator

12. Storage
Drag Rake System
Silo

13. Storage
Truck Dump Pit
Bucket Elevator

14. Biomass Conveying
Biomass conveying system moves biomass through system
Includes mixing auger to supplement water into biomass
For larger systems, multiple biomass conveyers may need to be incorporated

15. Bin Hoppers Two primary functions:
Act as a storage buffer for biomass
Meter biomass into the CHyP system at appropriate rate
Bin Hoppers are used in conjunction with Drag Rake Systems
If multiple Drag Rake Systems are being used, each Drag Rake System requires a Bin Hopper

16. Magnetic Separator Removes metallic substances from biomass supply
Important to ensure that biomass does not contain metal particulates that could cause damage to the CHyP unit

17. CHyP Subsystem
CHyP Gasifier
Pneumatic System
Gas Storage Bladder

18. CHyP Gasifiers CHyP units are produced in four different sizes
250kW
500kW
1000kW
2000kW
Units are sca;ed to meet necessary project size
Each CHyP system requires an Airlock device

19. Pneumatic System
Consists of Nitrogen Generation equipment and Air Compressor
Nitrogen is used to operate various valves on CHyP system
Valves used to release biochar from reaction chamber
Valve to direct gas flow

20. Gas Storage Bladder Storage Bladder has many important functions
Acts as storage to address fluctuations in gas demand
Compresses gas to necessary level to feed into gensets

21. Biochar Removal System
Biochar is removed using water-cooled, auger conveyer system
Biochar is removed through one of two systems
Supersac Removal System
Tractor Trailer Removal System

22. Biochar Removal Options
Supersac Removal System
Tractor Trailer Removal System
Ideal for smaller systems
Biochar is conveyed into a bin hopper, where it is then loaded into supersacs
Ideal for larger systems
Bicohar is conveyed directly into tractor trailer
Biochar is then transported for disposal

23. Natural Gas Power Generation
The syngas is fed into a modified Natural Gas Genset
The Gensets are de-rated because the syngas does not have the energy value of Natural Gas
Syngas has a composition of 40% H2, 40% CO
Genset option has capability of utilizing heat recapture
Can have option for water capture, but only makes sense if you can use the heat, too

24. Diesel Supplementation
Syngas is fed directly into the carburetor of a Diesel Genset
Syngas displaces up to 70% of diesel fuel being used by Genset
Provides best financial returns of all systems

25. Synthetic Fuels
The syngas is used to treat the bio-oil that is also produced from the CHyP units
PPI prices in all of the components for the Synthetic Fuels system including:
Hydrotreating equipment
Hydrocracking equipment
Distillation
Fuel Storage
Transfer Station
Pumping, piping

26. Hydrogen Production
The syngas is run through a PSA system to remove all of the components of the syngas that is not Hydrogen
The remaining Hydrogen gas is then fed into storage system or can be fed into fuel cell system

27. Controls
Price in System Controls to ensure all system components are operating in sync

28. Facilities Unless otherwise directed, PPI prices in facilities for:
Biomass handling equipment
CHyP units
Gensets (including concrete pads)
Hydroprocessing equipment

29. Additional System Components
Dust collection
Utility Interconnection
Diverters
Cyclone
Commissioning and Training
System Integration

30. Utility Interconnection
PPI provides the equipment necessary, such as switchgears, to connect into the grid

31. Dust Collection
Dust collection is an important component of the overall system
Dust collectors remove finite particles from the system
Dust collection is placed at the following stations
Biomass reduction
Biomass storage
CHyP units
Biochar removal area

32. Diverters & Cyclones Diverters Cyclone
Uses to direct biomass throughout the conveying system
Cyclone
Necessary if using secondary grinding equipment

33. Commissioning and Training
Electricity production plant
Standard 7 days of commissioning and training
Synthetic Fuels
Additional commissioning and training for hydroprocessing equipment

34. Additional Considerations
System Integration
Necessary if integrating new system with previously existing or outside components
Freight
Dependent upon location of installation
Contingency
Dependent upon knowledge of installation
