AeroThermal’s Solution
AeroThermal’s autoclave is a pressure vessel that steam treats its contents at a constant temperature and pressure, serving to sterilise, clean, break-down lignin structures and reduce waste volume by approximately 60%. Then, by applying a secondary process the true added value of the autoclave can be realised. These qualities can not only serve to increase landfill diversion rates, but if the process by-product, cellulose floc, is used to its full advantage, clean, green energy can be derived from waste.
Exhaustive trials and in-house analysis show the autoclave process modifies the cell structure of the waste and renders the material suitable for a number of other processes.
For example, by employing Anaerobic Digestion (AD), an easily accessible biogas is created, which can then be directly used to feed gas powered generators, that will not only supply sufficient power to operate the entire processing facility but also provide a surplus to sell back to the national grid . As part of the AD process, the resultant substrate can be further treated to derive even higher levels of energy generation.
A subsidiary company within the AeroThermal Group, EnviroThermal, has recently agreed worldwide technical and commercial development rights to market an innovative fixed bed, multidirectional airflow, gasification unit, a further example of the engineering expertise and range of complementary products the group brings to the industry in which they operate.
AeroThermal’s engineering competencies, business acumen and wide ranging experience ensures the Company is well positioned to deliver bespoke turnkey, process engineering solutions that can be tailored to suit individual customer’s requirements, designed and implemented to world class standards.
All large scale manufacturing in Europe is handled by AeroThermal’s European partner, specialists in large-scale fabrications that require high standards of tolerance and finish. The company is ISO9001 certified and manufactures in accordance with the requirement of such classification societies as Lloyds Register, TV and DNV. Their team of well-motivated and highly skilled people uses modern machinery in a spaciously laid out production facility with a maximum hoist-capacity of 250 tonnes. The company is situated on the banks of a major river in mainland Europe, so AeroThermal’s equipment can be easily shipped anywhere in the world.
