he PP30 is the latest generation of the Power Pallet biomass gasifier genset system. It represents the largest upgrade of the capabilities and convenience of the Power Pallet up to this point. The PP30 features:

The PP30 Power Pallet is the culmination of our long work to create an expertly engineered, small-scale gasification solution that is realistic for today’s user. While personal scale gasification has long held tremendous promise, the realities of making it work usually prove too much for regular mortals. The high bar of operator expertise and extreme sensitivity to fuel particulars usually combine to make what seems simple in principle, exceedingly difficult in practice.
The Power Pallet has significantly widened this window for success by embedding the needed operator expertise in an onboard electronic brain. These smarts are further extended by a multi-stage gasification architecture and an innovative waste heat capture and recycling system – what we call the Tower of Total Thermal Integration (TOTTI). In traditional systems, hot engine exhaust and hot output wood gas have been problems requiring extra space and cooling components to counter. With the GEK TOTTI, we’ve transformed this waste energy into useful new inputs to the gasification process. It’s like adding a new free heat source to fix the old and well known thermal challenges of a gasifier.
This Gasifier-Engine thermal integration significantly improves tar conversion, fuel flexibility and general efficiency of the gasifier-engine system. It enables the Power Pallet to solve the tar issue in the reactor, rather than in a large downstream filtering system, significantly reducing the cost, complexity and installation footprint in the process.
The PP30 uses an advanced 4.0 liter 4 cylinder Ashok Leyland engine, spark-fired, but based on their heavy-duty diesel industrial engine.
The engine is mated to a Marathon genhead with automatic voltage frequency and 3x rated amperage at surge for high machinery start capacity. The genhead is 12 wire so they can be configured to single, split or three phase, in wye or delta configuration and supports all common global voltages: 120, 208, 240 and 400V AC, at either 50 hz or 60 hz.
Actual power produced is highly dependent on the fuel shape, size and moisture content. Solid biomass is not the consistent fuel source like we assume with diesel or gasoline. We have used “25 kW” rating although maximum power at 60 Hz is actually somewhat higher.
