...on a bubbling fluid-bed design, which has well known and scalable engineering parameters. Competing technologies are based on more novel and complex designs with unknown scale factors. Capital and Operating Cost—The overall simplicity of design and commercial availability of components makes the DynaMotive process less expensive to build and operate. Therefore per unit production costs are projected to be lower than those of competitors. BioOil Yield—The yield of BioOil from DynaMotive technology is estimated to be 15–20% higher than yields from competing technologies and does not produce any waste products. BioOil Quality—BioOil produced by DynaMotive is more consistent and higher quality than the BioOil produced by competing technologies. This has been independently validated by DynaMotive's engine partners. DynaMotive also competes with gasification processes many of which have been demonstrated at small scale but are also not yet commercially available. The major advantage of pyrolysis over gasification is the ability to convert biomass into liquid, which can be stored and transpor...
