The technology must be designed and built to operate safely at operating temperatures of up to 500oC.
The feedstock needs to be wood chip and be < 30mm in particle size with minimal dust, so chippings/screening equipment may be necessary.

Once assembled it must be delivered to a suitable site that has access to wood chip for the duration of the project.
