A power station operating on Wood or bamboo will make substantial quantities of wood ash . This can be turned into a commercial fertiliser for resale. A 50 MWe power station burning wood or bamboo will produce 60 tonnes a month of ash. When mixed with other elements the volume will double, creating 120 tonnes of fertiliser for resale every month.
Wood ash is primarily composed of calcium, potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium, but also contains trace amounts of iron, manganese, sodium, boron, zinc, copper, and molybdenum. Nearly all plants benefit from the potash content of wood ashes. Other components of the ashes are beneficial to the soil and plant growth as well.
Because it’s created through the combustion of plant materials, it holds many of the elements needed to support new growth and has long been used by gardeners and farmers as a natural soil amendment.
Mixing wood ash with burnt bone material and composted with vegetable matter an manure, makes a high grade fertiliser.
As any farmer will tell you, fertiliser is expensive. 120 tonnes or 2400 50Kg bags a month will generate substantial turnover.
The DRAIG Energy Centre has been purposely designed especially to suit the harsh environments. The Energy Centre doesn't need to be sited by water, or have a large dam constructed by the side of the power station, like other conventional power stations must do. Therefore it can operate anywhere so long as fuel is available.
Efficient combustion relies heavily on controlling the excess air going into the combustion chamber. Too much and you have free oxygen that can combine with nitrogen or sulphur, making nasty gases. Getting the oxygen content right is the job of DRAIG's patented computer system. 98-99% combustion efficiency means NO harmful gases,m additionally, our partner Karbonyx's technology ensures 'NEAR ZERO' emissions from almost any fuel.
DRAIG together with our partner Karbonyx have combined our technologise. DRAIG's Ultra-Low emissions combustion technology and Karbonyx's Near Zero emissions technology. This means we truly put out NO HARMGFUL EMISSIONS to the atmosphere.
Using Karbonyx's patented carbon capture system and various gas capture technologies. DRAIG will soon ensure that 'ZERO' harmful gases are discharged from our power stations.
The DRAIG Energy centre has been designed to plug together in 50MWe modules. Therefore the sizing of the power station is easy as for 200MWe you need 4 modules. These are delivered to site in containers that are simply plugged together. Everything is pre-tested before it leaves our factory, we deliver a power station to site that produce electricity immediately.
DRAIG have been providing combustion equipment and burner solutions across the World since 1951. The basic principles have remained the same whilst the designs have been modernised to deal with 21st Century fuel source requirements. Modern solutions to modern problems.
Growing Bamboo around each power station can provide hundreds of new employment opportunities in each area.
