TECHNICAL ADVICE
Technology
Advantages:
- Large experience
- High electrical efficiency (better energy quality)
- Steam-reforming before stack (in the case of biogas can work as a fuse in electrical circuits, and
protect the stack, the most expensive part of the SOFC system)
- "non-binding" letter of intent showing the customer (or one of the partners) intends to make a
business out of using our units for biogas (or other) applications
- Factory in Europe, although they still look for collaboration with other companies
Disadvantages:
- Planar geometry, worse performance under thermal stresses
- Cost per kW high
- System development for system up to 5 kW, never over 20kW
Experience SOFC systems
