Pricing Strategy • New, superior technology • Little significant competition • Good cost structure • Some incentives available • Sold at C-level typically • Therefore, price for the value we offer • Margins set highest on PPI equipment • Mark-ups much lower on non-PPI equipment
Budget Proposal • Need project information workbook filled out • Timing: Days
Final Proposal / Contract • Due diligence done by PPI to put good estimate together • Probably involves site visit • PPI gets quotes from contractors • Timing: Weeks
System Components • Biomass Handling & Storage • CHyP Units • Biochar Removal System • Power Generation / Synthetic Fuels Equipment • Controls • Facilities • Miscellaneous • Dust Collection • System Integration • Etc.
Biomass Handling System • Primary Grinding • Secondary Grinding • Magnetic Separator • Storage • Biomass Conveying • Bin Hoppers • Magnetic Separator
Primary Grinding • Tub Grinder • Wood Chipper • Takes large pieces of biomass and reduces to 5”-8” • Reduces large pieces of biomass to size that can be fed into secondary grinding device
Secondary Grinding • Hammermill Grinder • Reduces 5”-8” chip into 12mm or smaller chip • Reduces biomas to size necessary to be fed into CHyP system
Storage Drag Rake System Silo For use with larger installations 30’D x 98’H silo with metering auger Silo storage also requires use of Truck Dump Pit and Bucket Elevator • For use with smaller systems • Biomass stall that feeds biomass into system with the use of an automated rake system
Storage Drag Rake System Silo
Storage Truck Dump Pit Bucket Elevator
Biomass Conveying • Biomass conveying system moves biomass through system • Includes mixing auger to supplement water into biomass • For larger systems, multiple biomass conveyers may need to be incorporated
Bin Hoppers • Two primary functions: • Act as a storage buffer for biomass • Meter biomass into the CHyP system at appropriate rate • Bin Hoppers are used in conjunction with Drag Rake Systems • If multiple Drag Rake Systems are being used, each Drag Rake System requires a Bin Hopper
Magnetic Separator • Removes metallic substances from biomass supply • Important to ensure that biomass does not contain metal particulates that could cause damage to the CHyP unit
CHyP Subsystem • CHyPGasifier • Pneumatic System • Gas Storage Bladder
CHyPGasifiers • CHyP units are produced in four different sizes • 250kW • 500kW • 1000kW • 2000kW • Units are sca;ed to meet necessary project size • Each CHyP system requires an Airlock device
Pneumatic System • Consists of Nitrogen Generation equipment and Air Compressor • Nitrogen is used to operate various valves on CHyP system • Valves used to release biochar from reaction chamber • Valve to direct gas flow
Gas Storage Bladder • Storage Bladder has many important functions • Acts as storage to address fluctuations in gas demand • Compresses gas to necessary level to feed into gensets
Biochar Removal System • Biochar is removed using water-cooled, auger conveyer system • Biochar is removed through one of two systems • Supersac Removal System • Tractor Trailer Removal System
BiocharRemoval Options Supersac Removal System Tractor Trailer Removal System Ideal for larger systems Bicohar is conveyed directly into tractor trailer Biochar is then transported for disposal • Ideal for smaller systems • Biochar is conveyed into a bin hopper, where it is then loaded into supersacs
Natural Gas Power Generation • The syngas is fed into a modified Natural Gas Genset • The Gensets are de-rated because the syngas does not have the energy value of Natural Gas • Syngas has a composition of 40% H2, 40% CO • Genset option has capability of utilizing heat recapture • Can have option for water capture, but only makes sense if you can use the heat, too
Diesel Supplementation • Syngas is fed directly into the carburetor of a Diesel Genset • Syngas displaces up to 70% of diesel fuel being used by Genset • Provides best financial returns of all systems
Synthetic Fuels • The syngas is used to treat the bio-oil that is also produced from the CHyP units • PPI prices in all of the components for the Synthetic Fuels system including: • Hydrotreating equipment • Hydrocracking equipment • Distillation • Fuel Storage • Transfer Station • Pumping, piping
Hydrogen Production • The syngas is run through a PSA system to remove all of the components of the syngas that is not Hydrogen • The remaining Hydrogen gas is then fed into storage system or can be fed into fuel cell system
Controls • Price in System Controls to ensure all system components are operating in sync
Facilities • Unless otherwise directed, PPI prices in facilities for: • Biomass handling equipment • CHyP units • Gensets (including concrete pads) • Hydroprocessing equipment
Additional System Components • Dust collection • Utility Interconnection • Diverters • Cyclone • Commissioning and Training • System Integration
Utility Interconnection • PPI provides the equipment necessary, such as switchgears, to connect into the grid
Dust Collection • Dust collection is an important component of the overall system • Dust collectors remove finite particles from the system • Dust collection is placed at the following stations • Biomass reduction • Biomass storage • CHyP units • Biochar removal area
Diverters & Cyclones • Diverters • Uses to direct biomass throughout the conveying system • Cyclone • Necessary if using secondary grinding equipment
Commissioning and Training • Electricity production plant • Standard 7 days of commissioning and training • Synthetic Fuels • Additional commissioning and training for hydroprocessing equipment
Additional Considerations • System Integration • Necessary if integrating new system with previously existing or outside components • Freight • Dependent upon location of installation • Contingency • Dependent upon location of installation • Dependent upon knowledge of installation
