Waste to Energy Systems
Waste to Energy is the process of creating energy in the form of electricity, synthetic fuels or heat from the combustion, gasification or pyrolysis/thermal distillation of waste source. WTE is a form of energy recovery. WTE processes produce electricity or produce a combustible fuel commodity, such as methane, methanol, ethanol or synthetic fuels.
What is often ignored is the pre-treatment of the material and the tertiary conversion technology that takes the syngas or steam and produces fuel or electrical power. Raven Knight works with suppliers and developers of combustion technologies and also thermal distillation/pyrolysis and gasification technologies, as well as pre-treatment technologies providing sorting and preparation of the materials and Fischer Tropsch developers and turbine manufacturers to produce fuel and electricity. Here is more information on the types of WTE technology available.
