Description
Bladon Jets have identified that small scale micro turbine biogas power generators are the ideal technology to
provide decentralised clean, affordable, and resilient energy in developing countries. To achieve this goal this
project will design, manufacture and validate a combustion system that can run on renewable gaseous fuels,
based on the existing Bladon Jets' 12kWe recuperated micro turbine architecture. To date, no micro scale
Closed Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) system has been successfully operated with these fuels, due to their low
calorific value and impurities, without impacting its current combustion and micro-turbine performance. The
performance that needs maintaining includes; NOx emissions, the combustors ability to light and burn
efficiently throughout the cycle, and achieving the required life. This project will also produce a study on what
bio fuel pre-processing plant will be needed, prior to the micro turbine, and its associated costs, and another
study on the market analysis and cost modelling of the bio-fuel distribution system. This will allow the
feasibility of the entire process to be assessed and understood.
