Waste to Energy - Is it Really Possible?

by Lavern carter Energy from waste

Renewable energy is a form of energy which comes from natural resources such as wind, sunlight, rain tides and geothermal heat which are renewable and naturally replenished. Have you heard of the phrase "producing renewable energy through waste"? You might be asking yourself how it is possible, that is probably the initial reaction of someone to hear this for the first time. Nowadays that the technology is very ground-breaking, things that we usually perceive as baloney can be turned into priceless things.

In the past and up to the present time, garbage is one of the major problems that most countries stumble upon. Most of the landfills are now chock-full and garbage storage shortage is really alarming, that is why there are organizations and companies who came up with some alternatives in order to lessen if not totally diminish this kind of destitution. Waste to energy problems can just be part of the history.

Some of the companies perceived the idea of turning the waste of the world to renewable energy. The question how was it done is still probably boggling you; here is how the system achieves green and renewable energy with five major processes using biosphere technology:

1. Material is collected and brought to a central biosphere process facility where the 100% of the total tonnage is processed.

2. Material is sorted for recycling by the biosphere separator.
? Compost production (20%)
? Plastic rubber recovery (10%)
? Metal, glass, aggregate recover (3%, 5%, 8%)
? Materials processed to generate electricity

3-4. All none recycled material is forced through the Biosphere densifier which compresses the material into 20 G of flakes with 15-20% moisture (termed biosphere flakes) at the rate of 5-8 ton per hour. These flakes fuel the biosphere process to biosphere venture flux at 3500 degree Fahrenheit/2100 degree centigrade. This process produces inert gas which is then recycled into concrete, masonry and black carbon.

5. Gasification products in stage four power a gas turbine foe micro power generation, as a by-product of electric generation, contaminated water which was employed initially as a circulating coolant is distilled by evaporation and condensation which is collected as portable water.
