BIOMASS COMBUSTIÓN PROJECT
This Project, known as BIOCOM (“Modular combustion plants for the production of electricity from forest biomass”) and which began in 2007, finalized with the construction of a full-sized pilot plant for small-scale generation of electricity.
OBJETIVES
The main objective set for the Project consisted of the demonstration of the energy utilization of biomass through combustion technology for the small-scale generation of electric power with a micro-turbine and heat production.
To this end, various technologies for heat generation with biomass and generation of electric power utilizing this heat were analyzed, selecting those that were best and most in accordance with the objectives of the project. With these technologies, a pilot plant was designed, which was finally built and put into operation, making possible the demonstration of this small-scale electricity generation.
RESULTS
Thus, at the beginning of 2010 the objective was achieved of building and commissioning a full-scale demonstration plant which, utilizing the heat from biomass combustion in a thermal oil boiler, obtains small-scale electricity generation (125 kWe) with a micro-turbine.
This modular-type installation, completely automated and telemonitored, has demonstrated, technically and economically, this biomass energy utilization for the production of electric power.
This pilot plant is located at the facilities that NC Service has in the

TECHNOLOGIES
What is most innovative about this installation is its electricity generation system, a clean electric power generation unit, which utilizes wasted heat or heat from a process, and allows partial-load operation and self-consumption from the first kilowatt generated, avoiding costly grid connection procedures, producing zero emissions, with a modular and scalable design, high reliability, high profitability and low maintenance.
The versatility of this electric power generation unit has caused NC Service to develop a new line of business centered on searching for applications for the commercialization of this unit and its implementation in the market.
