Powertainer Design Summary

Under the scope of the engineering development, the project team designed and tested a beta 1 Powertainer prototype, which consists of the following subsystems, as presented in Figure 1:
 * Enclosure and Hopper Feed System
 * Gasifier and Filter
 * Flare
 * Genset
 * Exhaust Control System
 * Automation Controls

The following sections explain the design, engineering validation testing and design validation testing activities and the results of each subsystem.

Enclosure and Hopper Feed System, Engineering and Design Validation Testing

The Powertainer enclosure uses a 20-foot-long shipping container (Figure 2). The design added doors for additional access to strategic components; particularly the engine and gasifier, Rh
