GenG - From Waste to Energy

Laid-Rubber

Low Temperature Conversion (LTC) is a thermo catalytic decomposition process operating without air supply, e.g. no combustion.

By softly heating the input-material to a conversion temperature below 700°C (in incineration plants it is 800-1200°C or higher) a modified synthetic strong gas (equivalent to natural gas) can be produced characterized by a constant high heating value). This strong gas is turned into electrical energy in turbine-generator stations. The conversion into heating or fuel oil is possible as well.

No toxic gases, such as dioxins, furans etc. arise. Inorganic materials such as metals are not overheated, they pass through the LTC plant without generating any pollutants. The molecular structure of heavy metals is not broken down, but instead remains solidly together and thus difficult to dissolve.

Pollutants in the gases are leached out, precipitated and dried can be deposited without endangering environment or even be recycled to a high extent.

 

Input Material

A major advantage ist he wide applicability of the LTC-process to various input-materials which are available in the region, do not require decentralised pre-treatment and in many cases even cause problems regarding waste removal.

The smallest LTC-plant is designed to process 1 ton input material per hour which equals to 7.500 tons per year.

input ltcBig plants for municipal solid waste or lignite process 50 tons per hour and more.

  • Wood cut, loppings
  • Biomass, agricultural waste, food waste
  • Municipal and industrial solid waste
  • Plastics (PET, PE, PVC etc.)

CO2

Zero emission

The clime-gas CO2 is cracked in it’s basic elements. Approx. 33 % results in clean Carbon.
