Low Temperature Conversion (LTC)

  • LTC is a thermo catalytic decomposition process operating without air supply (no combustion!).
  • LTC decomposes organic materials into their basic elements and reconverts these into a cleaned strong gas (high methane proportion)
  • Final products obtained are gas or electricity or oils
  • Very low emissions of CO2 ( <0,5 kg/kWh)!
  • Residues are pre-treated and recycled, low need for depositing

What makes LTC unique

wasteLow Emissions

  • LTC operates in a fully closed system.
  • Toxic by-products such as furans or dioxins do not occur.
  • Inorganic materials are not overheated but pass through the plant without generating pollutants. With molecular structures not broken down these materials are easy to recycle.
  • Emissions are well below EU regulations.

Ease of Operations

  • Running entirely on internal power
  • Fully automated, only few staff needed
  • LTC plants are remotely monitored and controlled.

Adaptability

  • LTC plants can deliver high grade synthetic gas, electricity or oils.
  • LTC plants can be adapted to use a wide range of organic solids and waste.
  • LTC plants can be built for a wide range of input volumes.
  • LTC plant layout can be adapted to available floor space.

Advantages

  • Waste becomes valuable material for energy production
  • Guaranteed efficiency, durability & longevity
  • Proven technology
  • Low running costs
  • Capable of processing any organic waste stream
  • Output as electricity, gas or oils
  • Excellent R.O.I. (3 - 7 years)
  • Scalable from 1t/h upwards
  • Tailor-made, turn-key system delivery
  • Very low emissions
  • Reduces waste volumes by 95%. The remaining residues meet strictest environmental
  • Regulations in the EU and elsewhere.
  • Residues pose no toxicity whatever and can be recycled or deposited.
  • Admission to APX Power-Exchange and the CO2 Emission-Trade (Kyoto Protocol) possible
  • High yield energy output compared to other competing technologies
  • Easy shipment (turn-key)
  • Easy and time efficient assembly at plant destination
  • Integrated, fully closed system (no odor leakages; no toxins are produced)
  • Plant layout can be easily adapted to available floor space
