100kW – 1,000kW Modular Systems | Isometric Pre-Approved | 7-10 Day Installation

Power Where You Need It. No Grid Required.

Small scale doesn't mean limited capability. The Biowatt Series by Powermax delivers industrial-grade, 24/7 baseload power in a footprint that fits within standard shipping containers. Designed for sawmills, rice mills, remote communities, and agro-industrial sites, our small scale biomass power plants turn local waste wood, husks, and residues into reliable electricity and heat—without the cost or complexity of large centralized infrastructure.

Each system is fully pre-assembled and load-tested at our factory. You receive a turnkey power station, not a construction project. And with official Isometric pre-approval, your plant is positioned to generate carbon removal credits from day one—adding a high-value revenue stream that diesel generators simply cannot offer.Unlike large-scale centralized infrastructure, the Biowatt 100-1000 series is engineered for extreme mobility. Shipped in standard 40ft HQ containers, these systems can be deployed in remote sawmills, islands, or agricultural cooperatives where grid extension is too costly. It is a movable asset, allowing you to relocate your power station as your feedstock sources or project locations shift.

Why Small Scale Biomass Power Makes Sense

1. Rapid Return on Investment

With no civil works required and installation completed in under two weeks, your capital is deployed quickly and begins generating returns immediately. Avoid lengthy permitting and construction delays associated with large power plants.

2. Monetize Your Waste Stream

Sawdust, rice husk, coffee pulp, coconut shells—materials that currently incur disposal costs become free fuel. The Biowatt gasification process converts these liabilities into electricity for self-consumption or sale, plus valuable thermal energy for drying or heating processes.

3. Carbon Credit Eligibility

Biowatt systems are officially pre-approved on the Isometric Certify platform. This recognition validates the high-integrity, permanent carbon removal potential of your project. For small scale operators, carbon finance can significantly shorten payback periods and improve project bankability.

4. Resilient & Independent Power

Protect your operations from grid instability or rising diesel costs. A small scale Biowatt plant provides predictable, low-cost baseload power 24/7, ensuring continuous production even in remote or off-grid locations.

5. Scalable Phased Investment

Start with a Biowatt 300 to match your current waste output. As your facility grows, our modular design allows you to add secondary units seamlessly. This "Lego-style" expansion minimizes initial CAPEX while ensuring your power capacity always scales with your business.

Small Scale Biomass Power Plant Specifications

Note: All systems are factory-tested and require zero civil works, ensuring a 7-10 day commissioning window upon arrival.

Ideal Feedstocks for Small Scale Gasification

The Biowatt platform is remarkably flexible regarding fuel input. Common small scale feedstocks include:

￭ Wood Processing Waste: Sawdust, wood chips, bark, offcuts, sander dust.

￭ Agricultural Residues: Rice husk, coffee husk, coconut shells, corn cobs, bagasse.

￭ Processed Biomass: Wood pellets, briquettes, RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel).

￭ Nutshells: Almond shells, walnut shells, palm kernel shells.

Smart Automation for Small Scale Operations

Even a 100kW system demands reliable, safe operation. Our integrated control system automates the entire process:

￭ Automated Fuel Feed: Consistent material delivery into the gasifier.

￭ Real-Time Gas Analysis: Ensures optimal combustion and engine performance.

￭ Remote Monitoring: Cloud-based dashboard accessible via smartphone or PC.

￭ Safety Interlocks: Automatic shutdown on fault detection for operator protection.

This level of automation reduces the need for highly specialized on-site labor, making small scale biomass power viable for a wider range of businesses.

The Smart Alternative to Diesel Gensets

Compare the economics: diesel fuel is expensive, logistically complex, and subject to volatile global pricing. Local biomass is often free or even revenue-negative (tipping fees). A small scale Biowatt plant slashes operational expenditure while delivering the same reliable kilowatts—and does so with a vastly smaller carbon footprint.

Success in the Field: 500kW Biowatt System in Taichung, Taiwan

Real-world reliability meets modular innovation. We recently completed the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for a flagship 500kW Biowatt project in Taichung, Taiwan.

This decentralized power station is specifically designed to handle local wood chip waste, converting it into stable, grid-connected electricity. To maximize operational uptime and grid resilience, the site utilizes a dual-genset configuration (2 x 300kW). This setup provides the client with an extra layer of redundancy—allowing for continuous power generation even during routine maintenance of a single engine. Currently in the installation phase, this project serves as a premier model for how Biowatt’s "Plug-and-Play" technology can be rapidly deployed to meet stringent regional energy standards.

Frequently Asked Questions: Small Scale Biomass Power

Q: What is the minimum space required for a 100kW system?

A: Approximately 40-50 square meters of level ground. No building is required; the system is weatherproof and designed for outdoor installation.

Q: Is the system permanent, or can it be relocated?

A: The Biowatt series is a skid-mounted, modular asset. Because it requires no heavy concrete foundations or permanent buildings, the entire plant can be decommissioned, re-containerized, and moved to a new site in less than two weeks.

Q: Can I use wet biomass?

A: The system performs optimally with biomass below 20% moisture. We can provide drying solutions or configure the High-Temperature Filter Series for feedstocks with higher moisture content.

Q: How does the Isometric pre-approval benefit my small project?

A: It significantly reduces the cost and time required to certify carbon removal. You can generate and sell carbon credits on the Isometric platform, adding a recurring revenue stream that improves overall project economics.
