Pyrolysis Platform – Waste to Energy System

The pyrolysis platform is a flexible, clean, and high performance waste-to-energy system capable of converting a multitude of solid and liquid wastes into useable heat and electricity.

The system can handle both solid combustibles, and liquid waste streams, providing the opportunity to eliminate a wide variety of waste through a single process. The use of pyrolysis reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills by 85-90%, while solely producing ashes as a residual material, which amounts to barely 10-15% of the initial mass of the waste.

The platform has a minimum lifespan of 20 years, built to operate 24 hours a day, and contains all the required turn-key system components for pyrolysis gas cleansing and emissions control abatement compliant with EPA and IED environmental regulations.

• Recycling of metals, glass, aggregate and oversize constituents
• Pre-processing to Refuse-Derived- Fuel (RDF)

Pyrolysis

• RDF heated to 800-900°C
• Generation of pyrolysis gas «syngas»
• Pyrolysis gas cleansing & cooling  to produce a clean burn combustible gaseous fuel
• The pyrolysis gas fuels a gas engine generator set for electricity generation and heat recovery for hydronic heating
• Char is the sole solid reject
• Products can be recovered from the char (post pyrolysis) for reuse, recycling or
  resale. For example metals which have been encased in plastic, or compounds
  that can be reclassified as a product.

Heat Recovery

• Output can be used for process heat, steam / hot water generation, etc.
• In the form of hot water, steam or thermal oil heating

Specifications

• Built to function 24/7 at a 90% operating rate (7884 hours/year)
• Minimum lifespan of 20 years
• Conform to IED (Industrial Emissions Directive)
• Output produced is solely carbon char and ashes (only 10-15% of initial mass)
