Biomass-Fired Generation Services

Biomass-Fired Generation ServicesTtEC has experience with a range of biomass power generation technologies, including methane digesters, conventional boilers, circulating fluidized bed combusters, and gasification using a wide variety of fuels for either stand-alone biomass plants or co-firing biomass with fossil fuels. We have extensive experience with government land managers, landfill operators, and dairy farmers, as well as many large private wood products and other fiber companies that give us an excellent understanding of the biomass market. The combination of experience with all aspects of power generation and biomass make us uniquely qualified to assist clients throughout the development and all phases of biomass projects.
