Waste Autoclaves

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.

Gasification

The EnviroThermal fixed bed gasifier is an innovative design that utilises a revolutionary multidirectional airflow. The system is currently being rigorously tested under University conditions and a small demonstration prototype will soon be available in Poole, Dorset.

Anaerobic Digestion

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is the preferred stabilisation process for the treatment of wastewater sludge and organic wastes. The process provides volume and mass reduction and delivers valuable renewable energy with biogas production. Anaerobic digestion is a simple process that can greatly reduce the amount of organic matter that might otherwise be destined for landfill or burnt in an incinerator.

Example of 30,000 T p.a. MSW

There are three key size plants.

30,000 T p.a. (suitable for food waste)
90,000 / 100,000 T p.a. (suitable for MSW at local authority level)
150,000 / 200,000 T p.a. (suitable for large scale MSW processing facilities)

With a single autoclave system, comprising two machines, the installation becomes modular, so that 1, 2 or 3 systems could be operated in tandem depending upon the specific annual tonnage requirements of individual councils, unitary authorities or commercial enterprises.
