Environmental Standards and Regulations

(*) Compared to the worldwide most severe regulation, which is the German 17th BimSchV from 2002.

Example: Offered Technology Gasification versus Incineration

The comparison below sheds light on the main differences between the two technology

Offered Technology

CH3CL - C + H2 + HCL

Very easy to dissolve in water

Fast reactions (+100 times faster)

Thermal degradation without oxygen

Creates simple-to-handle hydrochloride acid

No risk of recombination of hazardous elements

Incineration

CH3CL + 7/4O2 - CO2 + 3/2H2O + 1/2CL2

Very difficult to handle

Slow reactions

Oxidation in combination with oxygen

Creates dioxins and furans

Great danger of recombination of hazardous elements

Different Input Material

Key values

Certificates

The efficiency of the Offered system is confirmed by various scientific expertise studies from independent institutions, as well as backed up by numerous analyses certificates

This analysis certificate proves that the offered technology’s gas constituents not only fulfill, but largely exceed the actual worldwide ambient regulations, even the most stringent ones, and at the same time still contain a comfortable margin for possible future intensification of such regulations

This analysis certificate proves that the remaining organic carbon content in the sewage sludge solid residue after treatment is less than 0.05% - a value 100 times better than the worldwide most severe ambient regulation requirements (50 mg/Nm3, German 17th BimSchV).

The Invention

The Offered Technology system is a patented technology for the safe disposal of waste and at the same time offers maximum benefits from the recovery of the valuable constituents contained in the waste:

+ + + conversion of solid fuel into gas via a unique high temperature gasification system + + +

With this core principle, the offered technology provides a thermal degradation system that completely sanitizes waste and even destroys contaminated or toxic components and gases at high temperatures, using state of the art technology.

And this recently developed technology produces no harmful emissions or residues, fulfilling worldwide the most severe standards and regulations against environmental pollution.

Because optimum use is made of the calorific values of the waste, the process is also commercially highly attractive: the energy of the created syngas can thereafter be converted into electricity by various means.

Heated with induction electricity, the offered technology’s reactor is operated without air or oxygen, and the waste is separated during this gasification process into two fractions:

Organic material

Converts to a clean syngas

Inorganic material

Converts to a non-leachable, sand or basalt-like, senvironmentally harmless residue which can be reused.

How is this possible?

Intense heat at low cost through advanced induction heating

technology high temperatures of 1'250°C and above

New, specially developed materials which withstand these

temperatures

No corrosion or oxidation

Combustion occurs in absence of oxygen
