continuous Batch Oxidation System (cBOS)

Waste = a useful resource – post recycled waste, unprocessed municipal solid waste, commercial, industrial, agricultural, biomass, RDF, hazardous  or bio-solid waste are all feedstock for our sequential and continuously fed  Batch Oxidation System (cBOS) which has proven beneficial over many deployments.

Increasing recycling is also part of solution yet only if there is a feasible market for the recyclables and the energy required to recycle emits less greenhouse gas emissions than treatment. We frequently work with Materials Recycling Facility and Anaerobic Digestion technology for optimal waste solutions.

Waste to Energy BOS plant, IcelandDifferent waste streams can be viewed in different ways, steel for example, is highly recyclable. For many other forms of waste recovering its value to provide heat or electricity is now an easy and valuable ’smart and clean’ solution with our cBOS and Continuous Oxidation Reactor system technology.

It is important to note that  our gasification facilities are not incinerators. An incinerator is designed to burn (incinerate) waste & produce ash that is usually disposed of in a landfill. We deploy long proven gasification/oxidation technology that cleanly burns gas from waste in an enclosed system and produces 5% or less inert ash that can be sold or used as aggregate.

Along with clean waste destruction our cBOS systems are ideally suited for local or regional energy production – from 60 to 360mtpd is  our ’sweet spot’. They are ideal cost effective localized plants rather than capital-intensive centralized plants. Our clients are defined by the principle of decentralization, sometimes referred to as the “proximity principle”, whereby the waste is converted into energy used close to its source. This avoids transport costs and emits less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than landfilling.Waste to Energy sBOS ready for shipping

While unsorted municipal waste is the most common feedstock, our Batch Oxidation System cleanly gasifies a diverse range of waste streams including municipal, commercial, medical, construction, demolition, Haz Mat, liquid, tires, treated sewage sludge, animal/fish remains, industrial and process waste, facility-generated waste streams from mines, oil fields, military, hospitals, resorts, commercial, industrial or other installations.

Alternatively the Continuous Oxidation Reactor system continuously convert more uniform feedstock, such as agricultural, tobacco or wood waste, into usable energy.

Optional additional clean electrical power is now much sought after and suitable for communities and organizations, typically with more than 20 mtpd of waste.

WTEC waste-to-energy solution:

  • Decentralized or Centralized Model, not triggered by critical mass.
  • 20 to 360 mtpd.
  • Carbon neutral
  • Community driven / ownership.
  • Deployed Globally, highest standards – EPA, CDN, EU, SEPA (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency).
  • Simple, intelligent and modular design.
  • No need for sorting or pre-processing of waste required.
  • Accepts complete waste stream spectrum (solid/liquid).
  • Cleaner emissions than central power plants i.e. Natural gas, Coal.
  • Dramatically cuts Greenhouse Gases.
  • Bottom ash is non-toxic and useful as aggregate.
  • Cuts landfill waste to zero or near zero.
  • Scalable to allow for changing demand.
  • cBOS can process post-recycled waste, municipal, medical, industrial, oil, sewage sludge and other waste streams, COR handles more uniform feedstock.
