Waste Pumpable Slurry E-Fuel™ Utilization
wof E-Fuel™
This 20 ton/day unit, which began operating
in Japan in early March 1997, was designed
as a fully integrated commercial-scale system
for local MSW. The product fuel from the fa-
cility is co-fired in a pressurized gasifier for
hydrogen production or co-fired in a cement
kiln for heat production.
The SlurryCarb™ Process can generate a qual-
ity fuel from many low-grade fuels and wastes,
including municipal sewage sludge and munici-
pal solid waste.
solids). Reduced-capacity units (i.e., 25-50 tons/day) have
similarly strong economics.
In the United States alone, 8 million dry tons of MSS
and 210 tons of MSW are produced every year. EnerTech's
cost of disposal is below the average cost of conventional
thermal disposal options for these wastes. Smaller com-
munities now have available to them a clean and afford-
able method of MSS disposal that reduces landfill de-
mands and eliminates the need for a combustion facility
to burn wastes. Instead, the waste is converted to a valu-
able fuel and then exported to the marketplace.
COMMERCIALIZATION SUCCESS
Through an agreement with Mitsubishi Corporation, con-
struction of a 20 ton/day (as received MSW) unit in ja-
pan was completed in early 1997. EnerTech has signed
an agreement with a large water and wastewater com-
pany to build the first commercial plant for MSS. Having
successfully piloted this technology in the United States,
EnerTech is negotiating with a consortium of companies
to construct a 100 ton/day facility in the United States,
which will springboard the technology into the U.S. com-
mercial market.
COMPANY HISTORY
EnerTech Environmental currently holds 12 U.S. patents
for a number of combustion and high-pressure technolo-
gies, including the SlurryCarb™ process. In addition, it
maintains international patent protection in 18 other
countries, encompassing a population of 3.3 billion people.
EPA's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program was created to assist small businesses in
transforming innovative ideas into commercial products. The SBIR Program has two phases—Phase I is
the feasibility study to determine the validity of the proposed concept and Phase II is the development of
the technology or product proven feasible in Phase I. EPA also offers Phase II Options to accelerate the
commercialization of SBIR technologies and to complete EPA's Environmental Technology Verification
(ETV) Program. For more information about EPA's SBIR Program and the National Center for Environmental
Research, visit http://www.epa.gov/ncer/sbir.
