01. What is GD Environmental Private Limited (GDEPL)?

GD Environmental Private Limited (GDEPL) is a Pune-based company specializing in sustainable waste management solutions. We design and manufacture advanced waste-to-energy systems, including the patented Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis and Plastic Pyrolysis Technology, to convert Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into valuable by-products like, Drop-in Fuel, Biochar, Fly Ash Bricks and Green Coal.

02. How does the GDEPL Technology work?

The GDEPL Technology utilizes the Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis to convert various types of waste, including Legacy Landfill waste, Inert waste, Reject waste, Mixed Waste, Dry Waste, Wet Waste, Refused Derived Fual (RDF),  Municipal Solid Waste, & Plastic waste, into valuable byproducts such as Diesel, Biochar, Green Coal, and more. The process involves a combination of Dehydration, Pyrolysis, and Gasification to efficiently process waste with near-zero emissions and no residual landfill.

03. What is the Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis?

The Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis is GDEPL’s patented technology that processes mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) through segregation, drying, gasification, and pyrolysis. It converts waste into Syngas for electricity generation, Fuel Pellets, Drop-in Fuel, and vitrified ash for construction, offering a decentralized and eco-friendly solution.

04. What is the difference between GDEPL’s Dual Fusion Dryer with Gasification vs. Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis?

GDEPL offers two distinct systems:

  • Dual Fusion Dryer with Gasification: A cost-effective, two-stage solution ideal for decentralized operations. It dries and gasifies MSW or RDF to produce thermal energy and Syngas.

  • Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis: A three-stage advanced model that adds pyrolysis to produce Green Coal or Drop-in Fuel, maximizing resource recovery and circularity.

06. What types of waste can GDEPL’s technology process?

GDEPL is the only company that pioneers in disposing of Legacy Landfill Waste, Reject/Inert, Wet, Dry waste, and Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), including organic and inorganic materials such as plastics, paper, textiles, and food waste. Both the Dual Fusion Dryer with Gasification and Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis efficiently process these waste types across various capacities.

07. What are the by-products of GDEPL’s waste-to-energy process?

Our process generates:

  • Syngas: Used to produce electricity  from 3 TPD MSW, scalable for larger systems).

  • Drop-in Fuel: A clean fuel alternative for industrial use.

  • Green Coal/Fuel Pellets: Sustainable fuel for energy generation.

  • Biochar: Used in agriculture to enhance soil quality.

  • Vitrified Ash: Suitable for construction materials like fly ash bricks.

08. What is Green Coal and how is it used?

Green Coal is a clean-burning, high-calorific solid fuel generated from processed MSW using GDEPL’s pyrolysis system. It can replace traditional coal in:

  • Boilers and thermal systems

  • Cement and paper industries

  • Energy-intensive manufacturing sectors

09. What is Biochar and how is it used?

Biochar is a carbon-rich by-product produced during GDEPL’s pyrolysis process. It is used in agriculture to:

  • Enhance soil fertility and water retention

  • Sequester carbon to mitigate climate change

  • Improve crop yields and reduce the need for chemical fertilizers

10. How environmentally friendly is GDEPL’s technology?

GDEPL’s solutions are designed to minimize environmental impact. Our Dual Fusion Dryer with Gasification and Tri Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Pyrolysis operate with near-zero emissions (CPCB-tested), recycle 100% of waste with only 5% residue, require no water, no chemicals, and no external fuel, and promote a circular economy by reducing landfill dependency.

11. How is GDEPL’s solution better than composting or incineration?

Unlike composting, which requires long curing cycles and large land areas, or incineration, which emits dioxins and hazardous gases, GDEPL’s patented systems:

  • Work in compact spaces (25,000 sq. ft. for 100 TPD)

  • Operate with near-zero emissions (CPCB-tested)

  • Convert 100% of waste into valuable by-products with only 5% residue

  • Require no water, no chemicals, and no external fuel for processing

12. What is the capacity of GDEPL’s waste processing systems?

Our systems are scalable, with a minimum capacity of 5 tons of Mixed Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) per day (TPD) due to cost and tipping charge feasibility. Systems can be customized to handle capacities up to 100 TPD, depending on client.

However for requirements below 5 TPD our Dual Fusion Dryer with Gasification & Multi-Jet High Temperature Updraft Gasifier is well suited.

13. What are the energy requirements for operating GDEPL’s systems?

The energy requirements for operating GDEPL’s systems depend on the input waste, and components may vary accordingly. For detailed specifications, please reach us at contact@gdepl.org.
