The New Way—
How Does It Work?
Pyrolysis is a thermal decomposition of organic & synthetic waste material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. The gases that are extracted during this decomposition are called "product gas," and contain mainly hydrogen, carbon monoxide & hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane and propane.
Converting Waste-to-Energy: The Step-by-Step Process
1. Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is received from:
Local municipalities
Private contracts
2. MSW is shredded into pieces 8” and smaller
3. MSW moves down the line (recyclables are removed
from the waste stream & non-recyclables continue
down the line for final shredding)
4. Materials move to the pyrolysis system
5. Gases are extracted and cleaned
6. Gases are used to power generation units
7. Energy is placed back to the grid
Pyrolysis Gasification Chamber
A pyrolytic gasification chamber is used to convert biomass and/or waste into a combustible gas mixture known as Syngas, or synthesis gas.
Non-combustibles remaining after gasification such as silica, calcium and metals are extracted from pyrolytic gasification chamber and can be marketable for use in carbon based filters or be used as landfill cover.
The combustion of Syngas results in a clean gas that is:
- Very low in NOx and CO particulates, also low in volatile organic compounds (VOC’s).
- Environmentally superior to firing of many conventional fuels such as coal and fuel oil, also permitted by the DNR.
NewWay Global Energy is participating in a cutting edge system converting waste-to-energy. Some advantages of this new way of producing energy are:
- Complete energy recovery facilities
- Landfill diversion systems
- Multiple revenue sources
- Fossil fuel alternative
- Reclaim recyclables
- Source materials for the facility
