Integrated process for the recycling of waste

At a German research institute a process for the recycling of waste has been developed. The treatment of domestic waste or a mixture of domestic waste and biogenic materials are subject of the preferred embodiment. The process consists of three steps: drying of the waste material, separation of recyclable and trash materials and gasification of the resulting fuel substitute. The potential partner should join further development of a complete prototype.

The process aims to generate a fuel substitute especially for gasification. No biological degradation of easily degradable components is needed. In the first step the mixture is dried with hot air to a moisture content of 20 - 25%. Afterwards the mechanical separation of valuable materials and materials with no heating value such as metals, glasses and minerals as well as of materials with a high heating value such as synthetic materials can easily be achieved. Waste treated in this manner is gasified in a gasification reactor. The produced low calorific value gas is used to recover energy. The waste

heat is employed for drying.Innovative Aspects:Coupling of the drying of domestic waste with a gasification step.· Environmental compatible treatment of waste· More cost efficient than known solutions· Shorter process times

Reactor for processing of municipal, biodegradable waste (BDW), including subsidiary animal products.

A small Czech company specialized in the field of research and development of BDW processing machines, has developed new equipment enabling controlled aerobic thermophilous fermentation of BDW mixture and waste biomass from agricultural and forester area, with option of biological final drying of the fermented mixture. Company is looking for strategic partners for license or joint venture agreement and bussines partners for commercial agreement.

CONSTRUCTION:Developed fermenter consists of thermically insulated operation space, system of injectors for intensive airing of the fill, system of fill shovelling consisting of segmented floor and bucket (pocket) conveyer placed on the inside of the fermenter, and integrated device for loading and unloading. All technology points are placed inside ISO 40track container.

PROCESSING PRINCIPLE:Mixture of biodegradable waste and structural (liquid-absorbing) biomass is loaded in the operation part of the fermenter. Optimal fill humidity (50-60%) and disposal of air oxygen activate the metabolism of aerobic bacteria. Aeration of the fill is done by airing and shovelling inside the fermenter. High level of metabolic activity and simultaneous reproducing of bacteria is demonstrated externally by rising temperature of the fill. Intensive thermophilous aerobic fermentation runs under the same conditions in the whole fill section. This accelerates composting processes. Complex organic matters are decomposed and transformed into others. Turbulent biological oxidation runs in the fermenter due to ideal conditions. The fill temperature rises above 70ºC and proteins are gradually denatured. Continuing fermentation at temperatures around 50ºC and intensive fill airing enable so-called biological final fill drying. Common mixing rate is 30% weight ratio units of sludge component and 70% weight ratio of biomass. If the biomass input humidity is low (straw, wood-shavings) the mixing rate can be up to 50:50. The unloading humidity of the fermentate used for compost production is about 40%. If the fermentate is intended for energetic purposes the final humidity is usually below 30%. The time of fill delay in the fermenter depends on the

�character of the fill and the final product. It takes 48 96 hours.Innovative Aspects:Waste processing in fermenter runs with minimum demands for

external energy consumption. When running fermenter no matters endangering environment are used or arise. No excessive noise, polluted waste water or solid waste is produced when running the aerobic fermenter.

Next generation biomass gasification power plant with increased efficiency

An Austrian SME developed a high efficiency biomass power plant based on gasification technology. The main objective is the generation of electricity. Heat energy can be produced according to specific needs. The plant operates economically even on small scale and produces dust-free emission. The company looks for collaboration (license, technical agreement) with general contractors, municipalities and investors who are interested in applying the technology to achieve economic proof of concept.

A review of development activities in universities and companies towards a solution of gasification problems in biomass power plants shows a lot of research has been done in the last years.

Most of these state-of-the-art solutions have their focus on the gas cleaning system.

The related tar problem is mainly tackled in two ways. First, removal the tar of the gas stream and second, crack the tar thermally in the gas cleaning system. Both options result in decreased heating values for the full gasification system, because the energy included in the tar is wasted.

Biomass represents one of the most promising sources for sustainable energy supply in the future. In the gasification process the solid fuel is not burned completely but transformed into a combustion gas. This gas will then be converted easily and efficiently into electric power and heat.

The motivation of the invention was to transform the tar into fuel gas within the gasification process itself. In contrast to other state-of-the-art processes the new approach offers improvements by solving four main problems of the state-of-the-art gasification technology: " The pressure drop over the fixed bed by a higher biomass input. " The range of the biomass feed and size.

�" The slagging problem feed biomass with a low melting point. " The tar contamination of the gas flow after the gasification process.

The main advantage in comparison to the combustion process is the higher electric efficiency of the system, even at smaller scale (350-1500 kWelectrical). It is designed to use the gas directly in a combustion engine to produce electricity.

Another big advantage is the low dust emission and cost reduction because of the small gas flows, compared to the combustion with the equal electrical output.

The main product of the gasification process is electric power. This focus is especially important during the warmer season, when it is hard to find

consumer for waste heat from conventional biomass power plants. According to needs heat energy can also be produced where beneficial.

In short, up to now the state-of-the-art systems do not generate enough high quality gas without an expensive gas cleaning system.

The new technology eliminates all the disadvantages, but offers all advantages of the fixed bed down draft gasifiers for example clean gas, high gas quality and a low amount of tar in the producer gas without an expensive gas cleaning system. The successful technical operation of the gasification technology has already been approved on a 200kWgas pilot plant.

Technology type:


Technically the main processes in the system are:1 Pyrolysis (state of the art technology)

�2 Partial oxidation (new technology separated full stream unit)�3 Reduction (new technology floating bed reduction reactor, FBRR)

Every process step is done in a separated device and therefore easy to handle.

The outgassing of the biomass (pyrolysis step) are partial burned in the oxidation unit and result in high temperatures that crack the tar. The energy in form of heat is used in the next step (reduction reactor).

In the reduction reactor, the char will be reduced to clean gas. The reactor is filled with the solid fraction (stabilised fixed bed). The gas stream flows in the reduction reactor from the bottom to the top through the char bed. This is one reason for the minimal pressure drop through the fixed bed. Therefore it is possible to feed biomass with a big size range.

In conventional fixed bed gasification systems, devices are needed to stabilise the char bed in the reduction reactor. These devices can lead to operational failures especially with the usage of biomass feed with a low melting point. In the worst case the operation has to be stopped because the pressure in the system dangerously increases. Costly and time-consuming cleaning is necessary before the restart of the system.

In the proposed technology the char bed is stable without any additional devices hence the problematic shut down of the process can be avoided.

The big advantage of the new invention is the clever combination of the three process steps into a singular flow of gas and solids. Eventually all this

leads to increased economical benefits.Innovative Aspects:- Economical and effective work in small operation plants is feasible- Separated full stream unit- Singular flow of gas and solids- No grate or similar working tools in the reactor- Unique selling point: Dust-free emissions and High efficiency for electricity production, even on small size plants- Attractive electricity production costs- Economical operation the full year possible with focus on the electric power production- A manifold feedstock could be used, for example woodchips, straw, etc.- Produce a clean gas without an expensive cleaning step, a low amount of tar- Minimalism of feed logistic necessary because decentralize plant place

Unique and innovative anaerobic digestion technology producing biogas and high-quality fertiliser

An Israeli SME has developed and implements a unique and innovative anaerobic digestion technology used for the production of biogas and high-quality fertiliser from cow manure and waste. The SME is looking to expand its activities to Europe through license, joint venture and manufacturing agreements.

An Israeli SME has developed and implements a unique and innovative anaerobic digestion technology, which is used for the production of biogas energy and high-quality fertiliser, mainly from cow manure and waste. The SME's plant, which is located in an agricultural regional council, treats about 600 tons of cow manure per day and produces about 2.0 MW of "Green Electricity" per hour out of this waste.

The biogas energy and the high-quality fertiliser are produced from a blend (concentrated waste) that consists of cow manure, oil and detergents from the milking process and cowshed drain. The plant's daily 720 tons of cow manure, collected from 8500 dairy cows, is later used to fertilise agricultural fields. The cowshed drain is a highly suitable material for the plant's biogas and fertiliser production. This is due to the fact that this waste is highly loaded with organic materials such as 20,000 mg/l BOD, 70,000 mg/l COD, nitrogen and solids such as straw, 80,000 mg/l TSS - Total Suspended Solids. Besides the above-mentioned waste, the plant can treat and use as well, for the production of biogas and fertilisers, municipal wastewater sludge, slaughterhouse waste, wineries waste and other organic wastes.

The anaerobic digestion technology that produces biogas energy is proved to be the only effective solution for the usage of cowshed waste. Anaerobic digestion technology (fermentation) has been found as the best alternative for composting. The typical fermentation product, biogas, is a mix of gases consisting mainly of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Along with the production of biogas, as an energy source, the anaerobic fermentation produces as well high-quality compost, which is enriched with nutrients.

Apart from solid organic fertilizer, the plant produces as well, 2.0 MW (per hour) of "Green Electricity", in the form of biogas, which is used not only for the plant's own energy requirements but can also be supplied to other energy consumers.

The SME is looking to expand its activities to Europe through license, joint venture and manufacturing agreements.Innovative Aspects:The plant

offered by the SME is a proven technologically and financially feasible solution for cowshed waste treatment, which supports minimising the contamination caused by traditional cow waste.

The advantages of the plant are:- State-of-the-art technology and cost-effective solution. - Tailor-made plants (designed according to customer needs), which can be offered as a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate, Transfer) projects. - Production of energy in the form of electricity, and high-quality fertiliser.

Biomass and residue derived fuel gasification plant with combined generation of electricity and heat.

Czech engineering company, long-term involved in biomass and residue derived fuels gasification, has developed fluidized bed gasifier into industrial application phase (lime kiln). Company is looking for a strategic partner for further development of gas cleaning and process optimization in order to fully commercialize plants for power generation from biomass and residue derived fuels. Partner is expected to cooperate in marketing too as company is active on central european market only.

Biomass represents one of the most promising sources for sustainable energy supply in the future. Gasification is a process of conversion of raw material (biomass, residue derived fuel etc.) into syngas that is mixture of CO, CO2, hydrogen, hydrocarbons and nitrogen. Typical heating value of syngas is 5-7 MJ/Nm3. Gasification can be held in various types of reactors (fixed bed, fluidized bed, etc.).

Czech engineering company that is long-term involved in biomass and residue derived fuels gasification has done lot of research and development in the field of fluidized bed gasification in the last years. The R&D process had included all phases from lab scale equipment to industrial scale plant. The biggest application was done in rotary lime kiln with capacity of several MWth.

Recently a further R&D was done in the field of catalytic gas cleaning system that would allow to widen the technology to combined heat and power production. Pilot plant test were performed with promising results, however further development is necessary prior the technology could achieve ready-to-market status.

Basing on its in-house R&D, the company is commercializing fluidized bed reactor as a solution for conversion of biomass and residue derived fuel to heat. It has performed several feasibility studies for clients that were seriously considering investment into heat or combined heat and power production. Typical total investment cost of gasification technology is in the range of several million euros. The studies have shown economic viability of such projects, however illustrated technical, legislative and financial risks of investment projects as well.

After evaluation of the technology market status and technical risks that are related to potential application of the technology, the management of the company has decided that further in-house R&D will be oriented on small-scale units only and a new partners will be searched for industrial-scale projects.

All above mentioned efforts will be made available for a new partner. It is preferred if a new partner would bring to project its know-how, experience with industrial projects and presence on new markets. However, no other options are excluded from negotiations. A company is ready to facilitate

smooth transfer of offered technology and R&D results.Innovative Aspects:Gasification in fluidized bed reactor has a great advantage

compared to common burning methods:Biomass and straw including wastes have considerable amount of alkali that decrease the temperature of ash melting and limit the temperature of combustion. Gasification of biomass or waste leads to trouble free burning at high temperature and efficient power production.At gasification process, majority of heavy metals remains in ash.

Palm Kernel Shells as renewable fuel for co-combustion with coal

A London-based company has identified a little used biomass waste product, with potential for co-combustion in coal-fuelled boilers, decreasing the boilers' carbon footprints. Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) are more calorific than waste woodchips, making them ideal renewable waste products for co-combustion with coal. The company is looking for partners in the energy generation industry for joint trials of PKS as co-fuel and commercial opportunities.

A London-based company has identified a little use biomass product, which can be used for co-combustion in coal-fired boilers to reduce their carbon footprint. Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) are a waste by-product of the Palm Oil industry with sufficiently high calorific value that they can offer substantial reduction in emissions on co-combustion. Use of PKS as a renewable fuel improves the energy and emission balances of the palm oil industry, increasing its potential to counter climate change.

At present, small amounts of PKS are used by the palm oil mills to fire their boilers. However, without well-established supply-routes to large energy generation markets, substantial amounts of PKS are routinely discarded. Through their network in Africa and South-East Asia, the company can offer supply and shipping of PKS to destinations across Europe. The company's connections also allow sourcing of the PKS from environmentally and socially responsible sites.

The company is looking for partners in the energy generation industry or the domestic biomass boiler industry for joint testing of the product to determine its potential. The company welcomes interaction with partners,

both experienced and inexperienced in biomass co-firing.Innovative Aspects:Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) are a waste by-product of the palm oil

industry; while small amounts are used by the palm oil industry to part-fuel their boilers, 10-60% of the produce is routinely discarded. As waste-materials, PKS are the "low-hanging fruit" of renewable fuels, promising an improvement in emission balance at little added cost.

PKS have a calorific value of 4000 - 4600 kcal/kg, comparing favourably to other waste-materials, such as woodchips (3000 - 3500 kcal/kg) and similar to specifically grown materials, such as pine woodchips (4000 - 4800 kcal/kg). The relative abundance of PKS and its classification as waste-material promise a relatively low cost, adding to the advantage of PKS as fuel.

Through its extended network in Africa and South-East Asia, the company can offer shipments of over 30.000 tons PKS/month. The direct contacts of the company allow them to enforce strict quality control and to ensure that all PKS originate at environmentally and socially responsible sources.

Technology and facility for heat and power generation from biomass (biowaste)

Municipal environmental centre from Kaliningrad, Russia, needs a technology and a pilot installation for heat and power generation from biomass wastes: livestock waste, sewage sludge, forestry and agricultural wastes, wood wastes. The company seeks partners for joint further development and commercial agreement with technical assistance (engineering).

It is necessary to develop a high-effective biomass waste treatment technology and design a pilot plant for energy generation. The pilot plant should include:- device for ablative instant pyrolysis,- device for primary pyrolysis and secondary gasification,- liquefied gas transfer system.

Parameters of each component of the pilot plant (relative humidity, temperature, pressure, oxygen level) should be optimized in order to make the process of energy generation more effective with minimal negative environmental impact (taking into account products and byproducts of the process). Also, the feasibility of the developed technology should be assessed in terms of both detailed mass and energy balance of the process.

In the framework of the project, physical and chemical characteristics and energy capacity of different types of biomass waste should be evaluated. Also, the possible favorable effect should be studied of reduced biomass moisture on the corrosion potential of some biomass types with greater content of ash- forming components.

The pilot plant for heat and power generation is planned to be installed at the city sewage biotreatment plant located in Kaliningrad region. The sewage sludge from the plant is planned to be used as biomass. The requesting Centre shall evaluate the biomass quality and assess the available biomass wastes in the region. The partner should develop the technology and jointly design and construct the pilot plant for biomass

waste treatment.Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:The partner should be able to:

- identify the list of parameters affecting the process of energy generation from biomass;- provide criteria of evaluation, selection and rejection of biomass types as a source of energy;- develop the technology to the stage of being ready for patenting.

Facility for producing synthesis gas from organic wastes

A small innovative company from Samara, Russia, develops a technology and a facility for obtaining synthesis gas - a fuel for gas power plants and boilers. The facility can be used at plants, housing and communal services and other enterprises having a sufficient amount of low-grade fuel or producing enough organic wastes. The company seeks partners for further development and a joint venture.

Among the topical problems of today's economy are both the shortage of energy carriers and the waste utilization. Therefore, alternative fuels become more and more popular as renewable sources of energy.

The company offers the equipment that can be used at plants, housing and communal services and other enterprises having a sufficient amount of low-grade fuel or producing enough organic wastes. The facility's operation provides consumers with synthesis gas, heat, electric power, cold, liquid hydrocarbons.Known analogs are metal-consuming, labour-consuming and power-consuming, which results in a high cost of final products (gas, heat, power).

The proposed technology for obtaining and refining the synthesis gas enables increasing the gas heat capacity by 2-3 times, reducing the power consumption by about 10 times and making the facility more compact. At the same time, the facility efficiency in terms of heat and power generation is increased by 25-40%. The proposed facility can produce 3000 m3 of synthesis gas per hour from 1 ton of brown coal with the heat capacity of 200 kcal/nm3. Having been burnt in a gas-piston power plant, this amount of gas would produce 1,8 MW of electric power and 3,6 MW of co-generated heat. The power consumption for obtaining this synthesis gas would be about 20 kW. Thus, the technology would be profitable when used for utilizing household wastes from a settlement with population of not less than 5000 persons. If the used industrial and agricultural wastes do not need much cost input for preparation of fuel briquettes, the pay-back period goes down up to 8-10 months.The developers have been engaged in R&D on synthesis gas production during over 7 years; they have got 6 scientific publications and 6

patents.Innovative Aspects:The technology enables achieving a high btu of the synthesized gas due to additional synthesis of high hydrocarbons. An original technique is applied for removing resins and mechanical admixtures from the produced gas. The proposed synthesis gas facility has the following advantages:- Enhanced heat capacity of the produced synthesis gas - by 2-3 times.- Enhanced efficiency of the heat and power generation plant - by 25-40%..

�- Reduced power consumption by 10 times.- Reduced dimensions of the facility.- Complete process automation.- Availability of standby equipment for synthesis gas purification.
