Gasifcation is a process that can
fnd new value in traditional fuels
such as coal, wood, and oil.
More impressively, Gasification
can unlock the energy value of
waste materials such as waste
wood from construction, forest,
lumber, and paper industries,
as well as household waste
from towns and cities.
The Gasification Process uses
heat to break down solids and
liquids into their basic gaseous
chemical components.
A portion of these gaseous
components consists of hydrogen
and carbon monoxide, which
are high value feedstocks for
producing chemicals, liquid
fuels, and heat for production
of steam and power.

NSE - Production of Carbon-Neutral
Transportation Fuels
Together with NSE Biofuels Oy Ltd., Foster Wheeler
developed a CFB biomass gasifcation and syngas
cleaning system which was part of NSEs new-
generation renewable diesel demonstration project
at Stora Ensos Varkaus Mill in Finland. This project
demonstrated the conversion of biomass fuels
into clean syngas that can be used to produce
renewable transportation fuels.
Value Points
Reduces use and dependence on fossil-based
diesel fuel needed to fuel the plants lime kiln
Demonstrated the production of a carbon-
neutral transportation fuel to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions
The town of Lahti in Finland utilizes a pulverized coal
(PC) power plant to produce electricity and district heat
to power and heat the town. To reduce the carbon
footprint of the plant and to utilize local biomass and
waste materials, the local utility decided to add a gasifer
to the existing PC plant. The gasifcation system allowed
the plant to utilize local carbon-neutral fuels and waste
streams resulting in reduced environmental impact of the
plant, while meeting energy needs of the community.
Value Points
Reduces waste going to local landfll
Reduces the towns carbon profle
Reduces the plants SOx and NOx emissions
Saved the town from the large investment
needed to build a new plant capable of burning
the biomass and waste directly
In Lahti, Co-Firing Solid Fuels in Existing
Steam Generators, not Capable of Directly
Burning Carbon Neutral Fuels

BIOMASS GASIFICATION
A Versatile and Flexible Solution for Polygeneration

Foster Wheeler Offers the Most
Fuel-Flexible Gasifcation Technology
Unlike other gasifcation technologies, our gasifers
utilize fuel-fexible fuidized bed technology.
Fluidized bed technology is the most fuel
fexible gasifcation technology since it utilizes
vigorous mixing and long particle residence
times to effciently gasify the feedstock. Other
technologies use high temperature and short
residence times, which is not as effcient,
especially for lower quality fuels.
Another beneft of low-temperature fuid
bed gasifcation technology is that the
feedstocks ash never melts, allowing the
use of feedstocks considered too corrosive
for other gasifer technologies.
Complete Customer Service
In addition to supplying the most advanced
gasifcation technology, Foster Wheeler also
offers a full range of support services, such as:
Overall fowsheet integration
Energy optimization
Selection of technologies
Value engineering
Reliability studies
Cost estimates and economic analysis
Control system philosophy
Among its many products, Stora Enso Oy produces
juice containers with an inner aluminum liner. The
Corenso gasifcation plant enables them to recycle
the used containers into valuable steam needed
to support their manufacturing process, while
separating the aluminum for further recycling,
allowing them to reduce their dependence on fuel
oil, helping their bottom line and the environment
simultaneously.
Value Points
Innovative solutions for recycling juice containers
into energy and an aluminum recycling stream
Displaces expensive fossil fuels to help the
companys bottom line and the environment
Reduces the companys carbon footprint
Reduces wastes going to landflls
