Many governments and municipalities worldwide are turning to gasification technology for treating household waste. The need and desire to recover valuable products and/or energy from waste, combined with limited landfill capacity, has pushed them toward this technological process. With the public becoming more informed and conscious of environmental issues such as air pollution and CO2 emissions, as well as the negative association with incineration and the need to meet recycling targets, government organizations see numerous benefits in investing in Klean’s waste-to-energy solutions.
Over a decade ago, Klean entered the waste-to-energy sector by utilizing Advanced Thermal Treatment (ACT) technologies, recognizing that waste-to-energy, or energy-from-waste, is a crucial component of any efficient waste management system. Utilizing advanced thermal treatment technologies, solid waste that cannot be recycled by other means is converted into environmentally friendly energy, providing more sustainable energy supplies for the future while mitigating climate change by reusing resources rather than wasting carbon.
The yields generated by a waste-to-energy facility may include electricity, district heating and cooling, steam for industrial processes, desalinated seawater, reusable commodities such as steel, and other recyclable materials. Residual waste that is uneconomical or environmentally unsound to recycle can become a valuable local source of energy feedstock. The heat produced by a waste-to-energy system is also designed to power steam turbines. In contrast, syngas produced by pyrolysis or gasification technology has a variety of potential uses, the most common system configuration being to burn the syngas in a boiler to generate steam.
The advanced thermal treatment of solid waste reduces the volume of waste, thereby preserving landfill space. It reduces the need to transport waste, thereby eliminating the cost and workforce required for long-haul waste transportation, as well as the pollution associated with the environmental impact of transporting waste over great distances. It enables the recovery of energy from the solid waste stream, as well as the extraction of minerals and chemicals that can be reused or recycled. Efficient waste management strategies can benefit immensely from waste-to-energy technologies. Klean is pleased to offer its customers some of the most technologically advanced systems available for use in applications worldwide. Klean believes that waste is an underutilized and underappreciated resource. We are excited to be part of the reindustrialization of our world, utilizing more sustainable energy solutions.
