Carbonisation Process

Wood wastes, industrial and municipal solid wastes, scrapped vehicle fragment wastes and other wastes are currently sent to landfill sites for disposal when they could be converted into Commodities for resale, Cofireing fuel products or carbonised to effect a dramatic weight and volume reduction.

There are also materials that can provide sources of energy that are recoverable from the processing of wastes, which is an additional benefit of the Airless Technology process.  Gases that are given off during conversion can be controlled, captured and used for ethanol and methanol production or cleaned to provide useful recoverable energy sources for up-stream drying processes.  Alternatively they could be passed via micro turbines or engines to produce electricity for the operation of process machinery or to be sold back to the electricity generating company etc.

Summary

• Volume reduction of disposable MSW of around 80%.
• Huge reduction in material waste needing to go to landfill.
• Big reduction in transportation and landfill charges and taxes.
• Inert and sterile carbon ash residue if land filled, reducing risk of pollution and spread of disease.
• Carbon ash residues may have useful benefits when mixed into production of building products.
• Carbonisation off process exhaust gases used for generation of energy and electricity and/or manufacture of ethanol and/or methanol etc.
