A rich history of commercial performance with steam reformation over the last 30 years has been achieved in the radioactive waste industry.
Elementa has refined and tested the process for the last 5 years on everyday waste streams and feedstocks including MSW, wood waste and purpose-grown crops. Our commercial demonstration plant (CDP) in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario has been running successfully for over 3 years. This plant has been given Ontario Ministry of Environment Certificate of Approvals (Air and Waste) and our output syngas and emissions have been verified by scientific validation third parties.
Typically, incineration converts approximately 20% of the flue gas thermal energy into electrical energy whereas the Elementa Process is able to convert up to 60% of product syngas into electrical energy using a combined-cycle turbine system or Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle system – IGCC. This provides a three-fold electrical energy benefit quotient for the EP while reducing by two-thirds the volume of greenhouse gases per unit of electrical energy generated.
Some of the syngas is used as a fuel for the EP indirect kiln heating process, creating a self-sustaining, closed-loop conversion process independent of external electrical power supplies or other energy sources.
