FAQ's

GDEPL has two Technologies.

01. Gasification Technology: Which works on Multi-Jet Updraft Gasification process.

02. Pyrolysis Technology: Which works on Pyrolysis thereby producing DIP (Drop in Fuel).

Incineration needs continuous power to operate and consumes huge amount of it. However, gasification works on self-calorific & needs very minimal electricity power. Incineration just burns the waste and creates pollution but Gasification disposes the waste using high temperature without pollution. Gasification consumes 1/3^rd to 1/5^th oxygen from atmosphere compared to incineration. GDEPL Gasification process can generate commercially viable by-products like Energy Heat, Energy - Melting, Biochar, Fly Ash, Fly Ash Bricks, Fuel Pellets etc. Whereas, Incineration does not create such by-products.

As per the online monitoring by the Office of Principle Scientific Advisor to the Government of India, the NOx, SOx, CO2, CO values are very much in acceptable limits and is getting monitored in our Unit via Continuous Online Monitoring System. Use of Dampener, Filter eliminates flying of ash particulate matter in air beyond visible limits. Thus, this unit satisfies and fulfils all the Regulatory requirements under the Pollution Control Authority of India.

Yes definitely. GDEPL Gasification Unit works continuously irrespective of usual climate.

Since GDEPL Gasification Unit does not moving parts except for the external accessories like Conveyer Belt, Conveyer Motor, Blower Motor, it needs very less maintenance like filling

the cracks formed in high temperature cement cladding once in couple of months depending on use.

This Gasification unit needs very less electricity.  About 12 KW Unit / Tonne / Day.
