Andrew Dash, Managing Director of Carbon Energy said," Panel 2 is now operating in its design configuration with both the injection well and product well in operation. This provides the optimal conditions for gasification.
Commissioning will now continue to establish stable operation and consistent gas flow." "Operation of the panel in this configuration along with the newly completed process water facility will provide optimal operational control and effective environmental management in conjunction with regular monitoring of the network of water monitoring wells installed on site. This is another great result for the operational team and it is particularly pleasing to see the main flare in operation once more." Mr Dash said.
Commissioning of Panel 2 will continue to establish a consistent gas flow and quality.This is anticipated to be completed over the next 3 weeks. Once this is achieved, the syngas will then be introduced to the Company's 5 MW power station, which will enable the commencement of testing and commissioning of the gas engines.
Further project updates will be provided over the coming months as key milestones are achieved.
