Linde Engineering Dresden GmbH has acquired the Carbo-V® Technology of the insolvent Choren Industries GmbH, Freiberg from the insolvency administrator Dr Bruno M Kübler
Jörg Linsenmaier, Managing Director of Linde Engineering Dresden GmbH, commented on post acquisition plans. He said, “In the future we plan to offer the Carbo-V® Technology as licensor and also as an engineering and contracting company for commercial projects on a strongly growing market.”
Carbo-V® Technology operates a multi-stage gasification process. The first part of th process sees biomass converted to biocoke and carbonisation gas in a Low Temperature Gasifier (LTG). The second stage comprises the partial oxidation of the carbonisation gas take place in a High Temperature Gasifier (HTG). Thereafter the biocoke is blown into the hot gas stream of HTG. After suitable pre-conditioning, the synthesis gas produced may be subsequently processed to ‘green’ products. For example, second generation biofuel, such as biodiesel.
According to a recent press statement from Linde the company was enthused by future prospects: “It is possible that wood and wood-based biomass, that can already be produced in an environmentally friendly way will be used as feedstock for the gasification process.”
