After separating and sorting various types of waste (ferrous metals, aluminum, glass, etc.), the remaining waste is fed into the Pyrolysis gasification section. Pyrolysis gasification is transformation technology in which solid waste is changed into a high-energy gas in a furnace-like device.
The transformation of solid waste takes place in an indirect heated vessel that uses a proven super low nitrous oxide burner. There is little or no oxygen in the system. The gasification process vaporizes the waste and creates a high heat value syn-gas. The syn-gas is approximately 35% hydrogen with smaller amounts of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and other hydrocarbon gases.
It is then combusted in an in an internal combustion engine that drives the generator to produce electricity.
Waste is thermally degraded using an indirect external source of heat. In the absence of free oxygen supply, the carbon is almost completely thermally converted into a tar-free high-energy synthesis gas. Solid residuals of the pyrolysis process are removed via wet discharger.
