(“PowerHouse” or “the Company”)
G3-UHt
Demonstration Update
PowerHouse Energy Group plc (AIM: PHE), the company focused on
ultra high temperature gasification waste-to-hydrogen,
waste-to-energy, and the creator of Distributed Modular
Gasification© (DMG) systems, is pleased to announce that
after the recent successful re-commissioning and high-temperature
operation of the Company’s G3-UHt DMG module (the “Unit”), the
Company has commenced a programme of demonstrations of the
technology, testing of various feed stocks and operational
parameters, and in-depth analysis of the synthesis gas (syngas)
constituents.
It is expected that the demonstrator Unit at Thornton Science
Park will be run for an extended period during August in
anticipation of a full week of operation in September. During
these operational segments the engineering and development teams
will be collecting data from a variety of sources integrated
throughout the Unit. Subsequent to operation the Unit will be
thoroughly inspected and all relevant data reviewed.
Concurrent with the regular operation of the demonstrator Unit,
collected data will be fed into process models for the basis of
design for the first commercial unit to be constructed. The
engineering team has begun this design effort.
It is anticipated that public demonstrations for interested
parties, including investors, will be held in September and the
Company will provide further details in due course.
David Ryan, Powerhouse Executive
Director of Programme Development and responsible for overseeing
all Company activities at Thornton Science Park, said: “This is the
beginning of an exciting time for PowerHouse. We now have the
tools, the talent, and the G3-UHt in operation to allow us to
develop DMG into a commercial reality. We are taking a
thoughtful and conservative approach to getting the full-scale
design right first time. This will save us development time
and cost in the long run.
“This cannot mean reducing effort, indeed, we are growing the
team to facilitate 24/7 operations in the near term.”
