With regards to what any single unit will sell for.we just don't know...this is what I said before:
The $30-40k figures here:
http://www.gekgasifier.com/products/10-20kw-power-pallets
..the point is..........information about the units comes out very slowly....the high end was 1-1.5 MW at first.......and it was not showing a low end of minimal waste applied......but as things trickle out....we see tighter information regarding such;

.....don't rely on others comments....do your own work and estimates...it's all there in front of you. They will price it at where they price it.
Quote:How would investor relations even have a clue as to what a single deployable gasification unit would be worth? Just reading some comments...elsewhere
Use your brain.........if a 20kw unit costs around $40k.....using only a specific woody biomass..less CHP ability.............???
.so you know:
The first TGER unit cost about $800,000 to develop, with phase two of the research, which includes the development of the second unit plus the deployment to Iraq, cost $2.3 million.

.from that..........
Note that a standard 60 kW generator is built into TGER.A TGER unit can handle about a ton of garbage a day.
This cht' isn't cheap..............don't listen to IR.....if they can sell a 1mw unit that can use any type of waste combined with CHP for less than 1 mill...........then everyone will want one........that means I could buy a micro scale 20 kw@/around the same price as what I mentioned before.....less $20k....no fn' way currently!!....sorry!...look at the given costs associated here..............again.....sorry.
...if so..........Sign me up!.....it's all good..........and if they can do that....then the entire game changes!!!!

Quote:The concept of the DGU is to take waste materials of up to 10 tons per day and use the material as fuel in a small gasifier to provide up to 1.0 MW of electricity and thermal heat. The DGU, as planned is small in size, taking up the space of approximately 2-3 standard 20’ shipping containers. Power generation is accomplished by gasifying the waste (garbage) to generate a combustible syngas that is co-fired in a standard diesel or natural gas internal combustion engine. The engine runs constantly on the syngas, but the primary fuel can be utilized when no waste fuels are available.

Quote:Cirque Energy is working in partnership with Northrop Grumman Corporation to bring to market a Deployable Gasification Unit (DGU) that can use solid waste to provide fuel or supplement traditional fuels used to generate combined heat and power (CHP) for projects ranging in size from 100 kW to 1500 kW. Specifically, waste volumes of between 1.0 to 10.0 tons per day

Scalable solution
Quote:2 - 10 tons waste per day, resulting in 150-750 kw electric generation plus thermal energy
High efficiency of nearly 90% when using available waste heat in CHP mode
Quote:For the Military, mobility is key
Two 20’ ISO containers
PLS transportable
CH-47 and cargo planes
Operational simplicity
Startup <2 hours
No additional personnel
Use JP-8 (diesel) when solid fuel is not available
Seamless transition from diesel to syngas, and back
No special preparation of solid fuel required
Quote:Non-miliatary applications
Commercial user or industrial plant with a constant electric demand of at least 200 kW, thermal demand, and a solid waste stream
Quote:Availability
Manufacturing Plan
Gasifier and Gas Cleanup sub-systems manufactured by Cirque Energy
Overall system manufacturing and final assembly by Northrop Grumman
Testing and Certification
Full-scale military and commercial prototype systems built
Extended duration testing and third party certification
Air emissions testing and certification
