SwirlFix gasifier and Micro-Gas Turbine (MGT) offer sustainable power solutions for rural electrification in Sarawak. By utilising agricultural waste, they provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly fuel options, reducing LNG gas consumption by 50% and ensuring reliable electricity for underserved households.
34,000 rural households in Sarawak still lack electricity, making up 10.4 percent of the state's total rural population. This location is difficult to access, remote, and inaccessible.
The SwirlFix gasifier and MGT are two of the viable power plants developed by UTM to meet the needs of the community. Using agricultural waste as a feedstock, the SwirlFix combustion chamber and swirler generate synthesis gas, which can be used as a renewable fuel. MGT, on the other hand, makes use of a compressor, a chamber, a turbine, and an exhaust to generate electricity from sustainable biodiesel.
Addressing the pressing issue of rural electrification in Sarawak, UTM has developed the SwirlFix gasifier and Micro-Gas Turbine (MGT) to provide sustainable power solutions for remote communities. By utilising agricultural waste as feedstock, SwirlFix generates synthesis gas, while MGT produces electricity from biodiesel. These innovations offer cost-effective and environmentally friendly fuel options, reducing LNG gas consumption by 50% and providing reliable electricity to underserved households. UTM's unique gasification technology and micro-turbine design set them apart from commercial competitors, ensuring a more sustainable future for rural electrification.
Using this new technology, customers will have access to a green fuel that is both cost-effective and good for the environment. SwirlFix, on the other hand, uses gasification to provide an alternative fuel source for rural households, while MGT can generate clean energy from biodiesel and reduce LNG gas consumption by 50%.
