This project is part of APP’s roll out of its technology following operating experience at a demonstration plant in Swindon. Supported by Birmingham City Council, the design phase of the project will come to a close in early 2014. This will be followed by the construction phase and the date of 2015 has been slated for operational testing. APP’s technology combines the two processes of gasification and plasma treatment to produce a syngas. This syngas exits the plasma converter to be cooled and conditioned through wet and dry scrubbers before being used directly in a power island. This comprises reciprocating gas engines or gas turbines to generate renewable energy. Residual heat is also recovered from the process to be used in Combined Heat and Power (CHP) mode within the process itself as well as for other users in the vicinity. Feedstock for the facility will be residual household and commercial black-bag waste. ### Read more Plasma gasification waste to energy project to inject gas to grid in UK A waste to energy project that will use plasma gasification to process waste and produce low carbon methane, or bio-substitute natural gas (Bio-SNG) for injection into the grid has secured £1.9 million of funding from Ofgem’s Gas Network Innovation Competition… Gasification licence agreed in Thailand for plasma technology Waste2Tricity’s subsidiary Waste2Tricity International (Thailand) Limited has now got a full exclusive licence agreement for the Alter NRG Corp Westinghouse Plasma Gasification Technology in Thailand… Plasma waste to energy system sold in Europe following UA Air Force deployment PyroGenesis Canada Inc has reached an agreement to deliver its patented Plasma Waste to Energy system to an unnamed European entity in a $4 million contract…
