Upgrading and optimization of unit operation of two-staged gasification unit (Castor unit in Græsted)

The project focused on improving the Open Core gasification unit, particularly reducing the daily monitoring jobs and ensuring stable, unmanned unit operation. A subproject focused on gaining better insight and practical experience when it comes to optimising engine operation. At the project start, the unit could only supply electricity to the grid
Project description

The project focused on improving the Open Core gasification unit, particularly reducing the daily monitoring jobs and ensuring stable, unmanned unit operation. A subproject focused on gaining better insight and practical experience when it comes to optimising engine operation. At the project start, the unit could only supply electricity to the grid for about 200 hours, but at project completion the unit had operated for 2,500 hours powered by gasification gas.
