Where does the MSW go?
One Ton of Typical MSW Consists of Approximately:
1,220 Pounds of Cellulose (Paper and Cardboard)
Recyclables 320 Pounds of Plastics
80 Pounds of Metals
(About 1,333
Pounds) 300 Pounds of Food Waste
180 Pounds of Yard Waste
Throughput Intake
Pyro-Char Output
Pyro–Char / Bio-Char
The resulting sterile Char
may be mixed with
asphalt for road repair,
pulverized to “Carbon
Black” for making tires,
converted to “Activated
Carbon” or applied to
farm fields, depending on
exact content, local
needs and regulations.
Sequesters Carbon for Thousands of Years!
Pyro - Oil Production
Depending on the waste feedstock, a variety of
oils are produced by pyrolysis. Many of these
liquids may be used directly as a substitute for
fuel or bunker oil or refined for use in the
chemical industry or as transportation fuels.
