What are the maintenance requirements for a BioMax?
Normal maintenance averages about ½ hour per day. Most of the maintenance for the BioMax relates to standard engine maintenance (filters, oil changes, etc). For the gasifier, the char/ash is automatically removed from the system to one or more drums. Therefore disposal of this char/ash is infrequent, and very easy to accomplish. The gasifier is inspected during shutdown and components may need to be cleaned. Occasionally, a bag filter may need to be replaced. If char/ash builds up in the heat exchanger tubes, it can be easily removed.
