Nexterra - The Next Generation of Industrial Gasification Systems

Good stuff, Jeff.

I heard a biomass plant was going in at Fort St. James. Is it your plant? They sure do have enough biomass to keep a plant going for a very long time, provided forest fire doesn't get it first.

 

[Enigma]

Nope, not ours.

 

[prado t]

Nice work!

UNBC just released a promo video of their bioenergy system:

After reading the minutes of the last meeting, I was sort of half expecting to see Super Dave's name being mentioned too.

Moose meat methane -- C-H-4, flamable and guaranteed to energize the room fast.

Apparently Rick Mercer was up at UNBC, but I can't seem to see anything on this video link:

Our bit is towards the end, around the 38 min mark.

So are you guys fully out of R&D mode?

How many plants do you guys have out there?

Say hi to Glen Visser for me...


-Ulysse

 

[Enigma]

Hah, small world! Will do.

Always in R&D mode, and with UBC that will be 6 plants, not including the R&D plant in Kamloops.

Finally! After almost a year of contract delays, UK project is signed.

Do you get Andritz to build some of your equipment? We built some components for Andritz for biomass.

 

[Enigma]

I believe we have had some kind of partnership in the past with Andritz, but nothing for this job. Most of the components will be sourced and fabricated in the UK. The boiler will be coming from a US company, disc screen from a US company, and our feed screws will be built locally and shipped over there.

Even made the BBC news...

Nice picture of you hard at work. I can see the IH8MUD tab on the bottom of your screen!

Not much to see now of any of our equipment being installed as the building now covers everything.

When the boiler arrives, which should be sometime in December, that should be interesting. It's massive and will require them shutting down streets, move signs/street lamps and all other sorts of things.
The main body of the boiler is 49' long x 17' tall x 13.5' wide, with a dry weight of 308,000 lbs. And it's coming all the way from Abilene, Texas.

So do you get to travel to these exotic locations?

 

[Enigma]

Well I did get to go to Salem Oregon.
