Cocoa Processing Company Biomas Power Plant, Ghana
Captive Energy Co Ltd (CECOL) intends to finance, build and operate a Biomass to Combined Heat and Power using Cocoa Pod Husk as the main biomass feed for Cocoa Processing Company.
Process Technology
The Plant will use gasification technology to generate syngas to power Gas generators to generate electricity. The exhaust gas from the engine generators will be harnessed to produce steam, additional steam will be also be produced by a Biomass Boiler by direct combustion of a biomass boiler.
The project will use the latest Gasification technology known as Double Fluidized Bed Gasification technology. This technology has the highest Biomass to Thermal energy efficiency.
Plant Details
The gas Generators are equipped with unique control systems that enable the Gas generators to deliver optimum power from the varying composition of Gas molecules, thus providing maximum power for the minimum amount of fuel injected. Steam is derived from the Exhaust Steam boilers fitted to the Generators to produce both steam and hot water by using waste exhaust gases from the engine generators. To meet the steam consumption requirement, additional biomass boiler is installed to generate extra steam thorough direct biomass combustion.
