The waste deriving from the thermochemical gasification process (in case of wood chips its quantity amounts to about 5% of the biomass introduced, i.e. 0.05 x 25 kg / h = 1.25 kg / h of ash) can be considered biochar ONLY if all of them are respected downstream of specific laboratory tests the limits established by Legislative Decree 75 29/04/10 (Annex 2) and by Ministerial Decree 22/06/15 as far as concerns the pH values, electrical conductivity, total carbon of biological origin, humidity at 103 ° C, ashes at 550 ° C, molar ratio H / C and hydrocarbon content Aromatic Polycyclics (PAHs).

The classification in biochar MANDATORY requires analysis of laboratory as defined in the previous answer. For each type of biomass used by the customer, and, therefore, for the specific product used in power supply to the ECO20x system, the relative characterization must be carried out in laboratory. The attribution is NOT automatic.

CMD provides direct references of conventioned laboratories where it’s possible making tests for the ashes qualification as biochar.

CMD is carrying out a certification process for the ash produced from the gasification of the wooden biomass used on site to feed their plants during experimental tests.

The ashes deriving from the gasification process of virgin wooden scraps have been qualified as SPECIAL NON-DANGEROUS WASTE, through appropriate analyses made by conventioned laboratories, attributing the CER code 10 01 03. The special waste producer must provide for its disposal to a company authorized to transport or to a person authorized to carry out operations disposal / recovery of waste produced or to the public collection service, in agreement to article 188 paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 152/2006. The classification and the attribution of the CER code by the manufacturer must be performed specifically based on the type of material used in supply. The code CER 10 01 03 has been obtained for the only case of virgin wooden scraps. If a different one is used residual material, the relative CER to be associated with the ashes can change and for for this reason specific tests must be carried out by accredited laboratories.

The flow rate of water produced by the system strictly depends on the pump circulation used by the customer on its thermal recovery circuit. CMD prescribes the installation of circulation pumps capable of processing a hourly water flow up to a maximum of 3600 l / h.

The temperature of the water that comes out of the system can be available between 75 ° C - 80 ° C depending on the flow of water processed by circulating pumps used by the customer on its thermal recovery circuit.

The plant can achieve a recovery with low temperature using the engine cooling water through a plate exchanger (about 30 kWth), in series with a high temperature recovery exploiting the exhaust gases of the engine by means of a shell and tube exchanger (ca 10 kWth). Thermal energy produced can be used to satisfy thermal loads of a generic end user, such as for the production of water domestic hot water, for heating or possibly for cooling through the use of absorption refrigeration units.

Usually, the plant works also in “generator” mode the system also works perfectly in mode "Generator", or in electricity-only mode without use of hot water in order to satisfy the thermal request by the customer referred to in point 7.

The plant needs electric power in each operating phase but there is an electric energy consumption only in pre-starting time and plant shutdown after engine’s stop. During the production process, although the withdrawal of electric power for powering the electrical panels and system auxiliaries remains, the absorption is compensated by the production and therefore by the introduction of electric power into the grid.

Electric power consumption is variable during the system operating due to the activation of the electric motors used to move the biomass from the loading hopper to the reactor. The average consumption at a value close to 2 kW, with peaks that do not reach 7 kW.

Yes, it is possible to do it easily through the touch screen on board of the system or remotely.

If the shutdown has lasted 1 hour, under normal operating conditions and in absence of difficult climatic conditions (temperature below 10° C), the system is able to restore engine operation after about 15 minutes.

The system is started through a glow plug into the gasifier, which is powered by electric energy taken from the power grid. The glow plug is the element that dissipates the heating deriving from electric energy, with the aim to burn biomass in contact with it to start the process in the initial phase.

Yes, you can turn on the ECO20x in remote as it would be in able to act as a conductor near the PLC system.

Yes, you can control ECO20x in remote as it would be in able to act as a conductor near the PLC system.

Yes, CMD will provide the application for remote control.

Yes it can be installed on any type of mobile phone.

Yes, the cost of the App is included in the price of system.

The system must be used with OBLIGATORY doors arranged in closed position and interlocked with the padlock supplied by CMD.

External containers must be provided for the Condensation collection. On average about 3 kg / h of condensate are produced (Code CER 16 10 02) of which 95% consist of water and 5% consist of tar, it follows that the residual part to be disposed of is only that connected to the tar by virtue of the consequent evaporation of the water. With regard to the provision and other information concerning the classification, what is defined in point 6 applies.

The powers of a chipper moved by an electric motor are be equal to those or a similar chipper moved through motor. For the corresponding electricity consumption, in the first instance it results. It is possible to refer to the plate data shown in Table 2.
