We develope and produce plants which generate electrical and thermal energy from wood biomass. We have since taken a leading position across Europe in this technology sector for planning and installing district heating plants and combined heat and power plants.
Over the last decades we have picked up the idea of generating wood gas, a technology which came about app. 100 years ago, and have successfully developed in further trough many years of research and work.
The result of this is a completely automatic plant designed to convert wood fuel into useable electricity.
By developing compact wood gas CHP plants, URBAS has underpinned its technology leadership in the field of clean energy production through biomass.
A combustible gas - the wood gas - is generated from wood within a reactor by means of thermochemical processes. The dust and tar components are then extracted from the raw gas through a series of specially designed filter systems. Cleaned wood gas is the utilized for the production of combined heat and power through the use of a gas motor and generator system.
In contrast to other CHP technologies that are based on the combustion of biomass and which require a working medium, the wood gas CHP-system does not need any intermediate medium.
This results in an increased electrical efficiency throughout the entire system.
