WASTE TO ENERGY FACILITIES

Waste-to-Energy is the sustainable alternative to landfills for waste disposal

Waste-to-Energy facilities divert waste from landfills to generate energy from the waste. Our Waste-to-Energy facilities are designed to convert the waste that remains after recycling into electricity for homes and businesses and/or Gases for export to industries etc.

Eliminating Emissions

Waste-to-Energy is a technologically advanced means of waste disposal that is widely recognized for reducing greenhouse gases—particularly methane—by eliminating emissions from landfills. Scientists have identified landfills as super emitters of methane , a greenhouse gas that is 84 times more potent as a climate-warming gas than CO₂.

Introduction

Reuse proposal for the development of Waste to Energy infrastructure

Imagine a world where the Demonstration-testing for Waste-to-Energy technology adoption was supported from the state and municipal level, and our waste was viewed as a commodity instead of an expense. Initially, the proportion of states and cities that see the opportunity will be modest, but the Reuse proposal will justify an extended development of Waste-to-Energy infrastructure areas, and quickly balance the proportion.

  • Storage energy for future use
  • Business opportunities
  • Sustainable employment
  • Various ancillary by-products

Features of the plant

01

Features of the plant

The Plant has been designed to meet a basic requirement of “affordability” while adhering to acceptable environmental criteria. The facility also offers an ideal economic solution through safe and technologically advanced means of diverting organic waste material from the landfills, while also generating clean, renewable energy, reducing greenhouse gas (in particular methane gas emissions), and supporting recycling through the recovery of metals and other recyclable materials.

02

Emission reductions

In doing so the facility adheres to the conditions of the Kyoto protocol wherein countries limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. These binding targets on emission reductions have an economic value which in turn helps countries meet their emission targets, and encourage the private sector and developing countries to contribute to emission reduction efforts.

Some special design features

The application of our proprietary system using “Wind Turbines” to Generate Compressed Air in Storage Tanks (Compressor) for use Pneumatically

Advantages of pneumatics:


Simplicity of design and control —

Machines are easily designed using standard cylinders and other components, and operated via simple on-off control.

Reliability —

Pneumatic systems generally have long operating lives and requires little maintenance. Because air is compressible, equipment is less subject to shock damage. Air absorbs excessive force, whereas fluid in hydraulics directly transfers force. Compressed air can be stored, so machines still run for a while if electrical power is lost.

Safety —

there is a very limited chance of fire and newer machines are usually overload safe.

The HPV Process

Reducing Biomass

The process of reducing Biomass (Ligno-Cellulose) to the Saccharides by Dilue Acid Hydrolysis has been in use for over 130 years. There are three stages to this process:

Stage 1 – Preparation of the Biomass

Stage 2 – Extracting saccharides

Stage 3 - Converting of the saccharides into End Products.

Stage 1

Assuming the input material is non-food based biomass, we mix the biomass in water & then the mixture is shredded and separated from any residual materials.

Biomass is extracted and macerated to 3 mm – 6 mm plate like particles and concentrated and cleaned to form a mixture in water with 8% - 10% solids content.

This biomass mixture is then extracted and passed through a macerating pump to the down-flowing annulus of the Hydrostatic Pressure Vessel.

Stage 2

Dilute Acid Hydrolysis

The process of extracting Saccharides from Biomass uses Dilute Acid Hydrolysis

Biomass Extraction

The process extracts the “pent up” Saccharides from the Biomass

Saccharides

This releases the Saccharides for processing into further products

Stage 3

Extracted & Cleaned

After saccharides are extracted, they are cleaned & concentrated in water.

Revenue Products

The output is then converted into the chosen revenue products.

Conversion

The Company can consider a variety of end products, ranging from Methane to Butanol; Aviation fuels to Hydrogen, and Electricity and Heat.

The process

The processing is totally contained in water and thus cannot produce odors or any toxic residues, and all of the input materials are converted to valuable products.

HPV Process Facility

Our HPV process facility can be adapted to different Waste-to-Energy problems, and Reuse Technologies SA offers a range of Metro Solutions for the Urban Environment.
