Waste To Energy
E&E is currently partnering with a pyrolytic gasification technology that has been tested on all kinds of organic wastes, including infectious wastes, hazardous wastes, and medical wastes. This is not an incineration technology. Organic material undergoes molecular restructuring, and is gasified without combustion. The components of the system are modular, and the system can be mobile rather than requiring a fixed base. As a mobile waste destruction alternative, the system sets up in a matter of hours, and the system can be ready to move to its next location in a matter of hours. If the intent is to bring the waste to the system rather than the system to the waste, it then is operated with a fixed base.
Exhaustive analyses has proven that all emissions, including dioxins and furans are well below US EPA standards. The weight of the waste that enters the system is reduced to between 5% and 10% of the total weight. That portion that is emitted from the system is referred to as carbon char. It is a non-toxic and non-hazardous substance that is beneficial for several different uses, including dyes, printing inks, and agricultural amendments depending on feedstock input. The byproducts of the pyrolitic gasification system are heat and synthetic gasses. Both can be used as fuel for boilers to drive turbines, which produce electricity.
However, pyrolysis is only good for wastes with a moisture content less than 20%. For those wastes that cannot easily conform (or be dried) to be used in the pyrolysis equipment, we can also help you with other numerous other technologies with which we are intimately familiar that might be more beneficial for waste streams such as sewage sludge or many botanical wastes.
