The first edition of the 10kW GEK Power Pallet combined our Tower of Total Thermal Integration with a Kohler v-twin engine. In October of 2010 we began production of the second version, which used a Kubota 3-cylinder industrial spark-fired diesel designed specifically for use with a gaseous fuel, and a Meccalte genhead that could be configured to the requirements of the user’s energy network. This engine, when governed electronically, is stunningly smooth and quiet. Here is a feature-by-feature breakdown of the innovations that have been incorporated into the current Power Pallet line:
Control Panel Mount
The Process Control Unit and Oxygen Sensor readout are mounted in a NEMA box, which in turn sits on a control pedestal at the front of the unit. Also on this pedestal are the on/off switch, hour meter, and keyed ignition.
Stainless Steel Hopper
The biomass hopper is now available in 55-gallon stainless steel with a port window.
Combined Exhaust/Flare Stack With Glow Plug
The engine exhaust and startup flare are mounted on the same stack. A glowplug in the flare automatically ignites it whenever the PCU detects gasification temperatures without engine operation.
Bosch Oxygen Sensor detects exhaust mixture
A Bosch Oxygen Sensor detects the mixture in the engine exhaust, and adjusts the air intake servo accordingly.
Custom Air Intake Servo with Air Prefilter
Oxygen is added to the syngas as it enters the engine, to make combustion possible in the cylinder. The ratio is sensed by the O2 sensor in the exhaust, sent to the PCU, which adjusts the air intake servo. Incoming air is prefiltered to prevent a reduction in the downdraft.
Electronic Governor
The Woodward electronic governor provides robust governing of engine speeds under different load conditions.
Automated Ash Takeout With Grate Shaker
Ash is extracted via auger. Less than 5% of the biomass volume remains as ash. An eccentric-weight grate shaker engages based on an algorithm that adjusts the period between shaking to clear obstructions if a clog is detected.
We are triyng to change our conventional diesel power generator power generator plant to a more enviromantal friendly module we suffer of large amounts of seaweed on the beach and are looking into ways to convert this nusence into a green fuel
Any ideas ???

Dear sirs,please send me:
1) your offer for both GEK sizes 10kW (Kubota) and 20kW (Ford), and place of delivery.
2) normal service requirements and cost of spare parts (engine & gasifier)
3) operational safety rules due to CO of Syngas
4) what if raw biomass has water content between 30-70% ?
5) what is mean gasifier temperature ? is ther any heat using facility ?
6) how long have been operating your first GEK ?
thank you in advance
Dear Jim,
Every time you are one step on front,
Regards
How i can buy 100 kW experimental kit?

I am interested in the technology and would like to know the applications in rural areas. I would like to know the amount of wood required to generate 1 kWh of electrical energy.
