Innovative Solutions for Waste-to-energy Conversion

Waste to Energy

Project Scope

  • Supply: Procurement of all necessary equipment and materials.
  • Construction: Building the infrastructure required for the WtCE Plant.
  • Installation: Setting up the equipment and ensuring it is operational.
  • Commissioning: Testing and validating the system to ensure it meets all specifications.
  • Operation: Managing the day-to-day operations of the system.
  • End-of-Life: Planning for the decommissioning and disposal of the system at the end of its lifecycle.

Supply Plan

Material Segregation and Recovery Equipment:

This top of the line equipment uses Artificial Intelligence to segregate and recover materials from organic and inorganic wastes. Recover plastics, glass and metals for recycling and eventually convert the biomass waste into syngas and electricity. This however is optional if BEST already done the sorting and segregation then no need for this sorting equipment.

Material Segregation and Recovery Equipment

This is the main WtCE equipment with material dryer feeding the WtCE equipment automatically.

This is the primary Waste-to-Clean-Energy (WtCE) conversion machine, responsible for transforming solid waste into syngas and biochar.

The visible flame is only burned to check the quality of the flame before kickstarting the generator, once the generator is started the flame will stop.

Electric Generator:

A gas electric generator with a capacity of 1000KW-Hr.

Construction Plan

The construction of a WtCE power plant will take around 6 months. Licensing can be applied and obtained as soon as the project kick started thus saving the valuable time obtaining license to full commissioning and operation.

Consortium with The Royal Family of Bahrain

To comply with the relevant statutory government requirements a licensed PCAB contractor shall be employed by the client forming a consortium between HTC as the supplier and technology provider, The Royal Family of Bahrain and the PCAB Licensed contractor at least tiple A with GB and GE classification.

Permitting (12 months):

  • Obtain necessary permits from local government units (LGUs), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), and the Department of Energy (DOE).
  • Environmental Compliance Certificate (ECC) and other environmental permits are crucial.
  • Will be processed by HTC once the project is approved the application will commence to save valuable time.
  • Obtain the Feed in Tariff from DOE and ERC or other means.

Site Preparation and Construction (12 months):

  • Site clearing, foundational work, and construction of plant infrastructure.
  • Installation of gasifier equipment, power generation units, and auxiliary systems.
  • Will be done by the contractor and HTC.

• Installation and Commissioning (6 months):

  • Installation of electrical and mechanical systems.
  • Testing and commissioning to ensure systems operate correctly and safely.
  • Training of personnel for operation and maintenance.
  • Will be done by both contractor and HTC.

Quality Control:

Measures to ensure construction quality and safety as well as operational efficiency.

  • Quality control by HTC team.

Operational Plan

Operating a MSW waste-to-energy power plant involves several key components in its operational plan to ensure efficiency, safety, and environmental compliance. Here are the main elements of such a plan.

Feedstock Management:

  • Secure a consistent supply of suitable waste materials.
  • Implement waste segregation to ensure only appropriate materials are used.
  • Implement shredding, drying, and other necessary pre-treatment processes.

Pre-processing: Automatically done by equipment

  • Sort and prepare waste to meet the specifications required for conversion.
  • Implement shredding, drying, and other necessary pre-treatment processes.

Gasification Process: Automatically done by equipment

  • Monitor the operation of the gasifier to ensure optimal temperature and pressure conditions.
  • Monitor the operation of the gasifier to ensure optimal temperature and pressure conditions.

Monitor the operation of the gasifier to ensure optimal temperature and pressure conditions.

  • Remove impurities from the produced syngas to meet quality standards
  • Implement systems for cooling, filtering, and scrubbing the syngas.

Power Generation: Automatically done by equipment

  • Operate and maintain generators that convert syngas into electricity. There will be 5MW-Hr generators.
  • Monitor electrical output and grid connection to ensure stable power supply.

Environmental Compliance:

  • Continuously monitor emissions to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
  • Implement pollution control technologies to minimize emissions.

Safety and Maintenance:

  • Develop and enforce safety protocols for plant operations.
  • Schedule regular maintenance to prevent equipment failures and ensure operational efficiency.

Personnel Training:

  • HTC will Provide ongoing training for staff on plant operations, safety, and emergency procedures.

Monitoring and Reporting:

  • Implement systems for real-time monitoring of plant performance.
  • Prepare regular reports on operational metrics and environmental compliance.

Community Engagement:

  • Maintain open communication with the local community and stakeholders.
  • Address any concerns related to plant operations and environmental impact.

Producing Biochar From Medical Waste

Benefits and Applications of Biochar

Improved Soil Health

Biochar enhances soil fertility by improving nutrient retention and promoting beneficial microbial activity.

Carbon Sequestration

Biochar captures and stores carbon, which helps mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Applications in Agriculture

Biochar can be used in agriculture to improve crop yield and soil conditions, promoting sustainable farming practices.

Water Filtration

Biochar is effective in filtering pollutants from water, making it a valuable resource for environmental management.

Carbon Credits and Environmental Benefits

Understanding Carbon Credits

Definition of Carbon Credits

Carbon credits are permits that allow the holder to emit a specific quantity of carbon dioxide or equivalent greenhouse gases, playing a key role in emissions reduction.

Importance for Sustainability

Understanding carbon credits is essential for sustainability initiatives as they promote reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Trading Carbon Credits

The trading of carbon credits allows businesses and organizations to buy and sell their emissions allowances, fostering a market for sustainability.

Emission Reduction and Sustainability Impact

Clean Energy Technologies

The adoption of clean energy technologies such as solar and wind power significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Emission Reductions

Implementing these technologies leads to measurable reductions in emissions, enhancing air quality and public health.

Sustainability Goals

Reducing emissions contributes to global sustainability goals, helping combat climate change and protect ecosystems.

Qualifying for ADB Future Carbon Fund

Emissions Reductions

The fund supports projects that effectively deliver measurable emissions reductions contributing to climate change mitigation efforts.

Qualifying Criteria
