Integrated Biomass-Fuelled CHP/Cooling System:

2 year Technology Stratergy Board (TSB) part funded project to develop a micro-scale combined heat, power and cooling system (CHPC)

Ashwells are the lead partner in a consortium including Nottingham University, sustainable energies department in this pioneering          project.

This project aims to develop a first-of-its-kind biomass-fuelled micro-scale CHP/cooling system. Innovative features include:

Integrated CHP/cooling system with a high overall efficiency.

For the first time, Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) is applied to such a micro-scale biomass-fuelled power generation system.

A compact, low-cost and highly efficient micro-turbine.

A low-cost, efficient flue gas waste heat-driven desiccant cooling unit.

Small-scale biomass boiler particulate and NOx reduction project:

2 year Carbon Trust part funded project to develop   of particulate and NOx reduction in biomass boilers.

Particulate dust emissions and NOx levels are key areas that will be more strictly controlled in the future of biomass combustion. Ashwells are working along with the Carbon Trust to find solutions to significantly reduce emission levels for a sustainable, cleaner environment.
