Thats not a biomass gasification but a biomass/solid fuel/coal CFB Boiler with Steam Turbine.

Sorry, I take back. He is asking Plant and not specified gasifier plant. So you are 100% right with a Boiler + Steam Turbine. The 2nd Option is Biomass Gasifier + Gas Engines. Am dealing in both system as alternate fuel here in Pakistan because we ran out off gas.

Hey guys, thanks for the great posts! I live in Alaska and have a wood pellet mill which makes pellets for pellet stoves. I am interested in producing power with my pellets in a biomass type boiler. I have not been able to find a company that can meet my small needs, 1-5 MW. Does anyone have any suggestions on small biomass systems that I could purchase? Does anyone have any sugestios on how to build my own boiler and generator? Thanks, Chris Elder

Any Project like this will cost you $2000~$2200/Kw. Do you have that much money? I have biomass/wood pellet Burners . You then need a superheated high pressure steam boiler + steam turbine. Check Videos:
