“Zero Waste” Option by Global Energy Solutions’ Thermal Conversion Technology
PROJECT: Thermal conversion waste-to-energy • Capacity: 400 t/d; 28.5 MW • Technology used: combination of gasification, pyrolysis, high temperature melting - vitrification and filtration of gaseous and solid residual into molten material. • Location: Pilotage landfill, Barangay San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna. • Type of renewable energy: biomass – msw * * MSW – Municipal Solid Waste
What is Thermo-chemical Conversion? • Gasification is the thermal conversion of organic materials, using indirect or direct heat at 350-500°C with a limited supply of oxygen, producing a syngas. • Pyrolysis is the thermal degradation of organic materials, using an indirect source of heat at 750- 1,200°C in the absence of oxygen, to produce a synthesis gas, leaving behind a carbon char. • Combination of Gasification, Pyrolysis and High Temperature melting (vitrification at 1,700°C). Thermal depolymerization, and hybrid systems.
Achieving “Zero Waste” Technology • Thermal Converter technology offers a unique opportunity to achieve ―zero waste‖ • Provide capability to eliminate need for land disposal (landfilling) of MSW and many hazardous waste • Recover (renewable) energy from MSW and other organic waste while producing salable by-products • Eliminate landfilling of ash or other residual materials.
MSW is BIOMASS • COMPOSITION OF METRO MANILA’S MSW – Food & Kitchen waste 45% – Paper 17% – Plastic 16% – Yard waste (wood/grass) 7% – Rubber/Leather/Textile 5% – Metal 5% – Glass 3% – Others 2% – Total 100% Biodegradable (Organic) – 74%; Hydro Carbons – 90% Non-biodegradable – 26%; Inert/Inorganic – 10%
Cross Section of Thermal Converter
Typical Process Flow of Thermal Converter In a Thermal Conversion process, all syngas and char produce are eventually use as fuel to supplement the fuel oil to maintain the 1700°C temperature. All syngas, metallic and inorganic residue are filtered thru the molten media with dwell time of 6 to 8 seconds before it is release by the system.
Major Features of Thermal Converter • Totally enclosed, water-tight, multi-chamber system that processes different types of waste using gasification, pyrolysis, high temperature melting cleaning residuals by filtration into molten lava with dwell time of 6 to 8 seconds. • Produces temperatures of up to 1,600°C to 1,700°C. • Complete destruction of waste into elemental components or naturally-occurring compound. • Total elimination of dioxin, furans, ash and fly ash. • Reduction of waste volume from 2% to 3% sterile, inert, and vitrified residue. • Efficient conversion of every types of waste to energy. • Can produce potable water from the energy production. • Environmentally-friendly.

History of the Technology • 1978 – 1998 Design Services International (DSI), a UK based company sold 18 installations (25 units) in 6 countries. • 1999 GES was Incorporated in Sarasota, Florida and took over from DSI, started the R&D that maximized heat recovery, improved efficiency and other features of the Thermal Converter (TC). Adopted DBOO as the new marketing strategy while maintaining good attributes of the old TC. • 2001 to present – GES is actively promoting the TC worldwide. New developments like global warming, renewable energy options, scarcity of landfill areas triggers the resurgence of the TC.
