Patented Multi-Jet Updraft Tri Fusion Reactor Gasifier Technology
GDEPL’s Patented Multi-Jet Updraft Tri Fusion Reactor Gasifier Technology represents a groundbreaking approach in waste management, particularly in the disposal of complex waste streams such as legacy landfill waste, reject waste, inert materials, wet, dry, and mixed municipal solid waste. This advanced technology integrates multiple waste processing techniques—Dehydration, Gasification, and Pyrolysis—into a single, cohesive process that transforms waste into valuable resources while minimizing environmental impact.
Process Overview:
- The incoming waste is first received and securely transferred into enclosed bins to ensure proper containment and minimize environmental exposure.
- Recyclable materials are carefully segregated, along with dry waste, while the remaining mixed waste is conveyed to the pyrolytic drying tank for further processing.
- The drying tank is sealed to maintain a controlled environment, and gasification of the dry waste, which may include Green Coal or other non-hazardous dry materials, begins.
- Concurrently, a water circulation system is employed in the condenser to cool any condensable gases produced during the process.
- The energy generated from the gasification process is harnessed to dry the incoming mixed waste, optimizing resource utilization.
Initially, the process yields distilled water, accompanied by volatile compounds, which are collected in a condensate storage tank for further use.
- As the temperature within the reactor reaches 300 degrees Celsius and gradually rises to 720 degrees Celsius, the production of synthetic gas (syngas) commences.
- This syngas is then stored in a gas storage tank, from where it can be recirculated back into the gasifier to sustain the heating requirements of the system.
- The gasifier can be fed with a variety of input materials depending on the availability of dry waste. This includes dry waste, Green Coal from a previous cycle, or the syngas generated during the ongoing process.
- This flexibility ensures continuous operation and maximizes the efficiency of waste-to-energy conversion.
- The surplus syngas produced can be utilized for multiple purposes:
- Electricity Generation: Syngas can be used to generate electricity, providing a renewable energy source.
- Commercial Fuel Supply: The syngas can be supplied in its uncompressed form to nearby commercial establishments for heating or other energy needs.
- Cooling Applications: It can also serve as a fuel for vapor absorption chillers, contributing to centralized air-conditioning systems.
- The distilled water obtained during the process is filtered through carbon filters to ensure purity.
- This purified water is then available for irrigation or gardening purposes, promoting water conservation and sustainable reuse.
- The process is designed to leave no residual waste for landfill disposal, as all materials are converted into value-added products.
- Even the ash produced during gasification is repurposed for the manufacturing of fly ash bricks, ensuring complete utilization of by-products.
