I’ll give a dollar to anyone who can explain why
Wheelabrator is a division of Waste Management.

It is very interesting to learn that the technology for converting waste to renewable energy has been since 1908. We are interested in knowing more about the different types of technology that can be used and the most cost efficient. Also, we would like to know how many plants there are in the world and which would be willing to work with us in Nigeria. We would visit your website and find out more about you

We am trying to short list a process/plant which can process unsorted Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) including plastic, metal, wood, concrete etc (i.e. UNSORTED WASTE) to electricity power. The plant capacity to be from 250 TPD (Tonnes per day) to 2000 TPD of MSW. We have done a though study of the plant offered by ZDWT AG (Germany). They have set up many plants in China and other countries. We are looking for a better technology which can give more energy out put. They are offering 7MW of electricity from 500 TPD of solid unsorted MSW. The plant should also adhere to the emission norms. The flue gases let out of the chimney should comply with Euro emission norms.

I like the concept of turning waste into energy, but isn’t burning garbage bad for the environment?

There are currently around 85 waste to energy plants operating in the United States today. The lions share of the plants are located in the towns and cities that produce the most waste. That means there is less of a distance to truck the garbage, and the people that are generating the refuse are the same ones that use the electricity that is produced. Another power player in the waste to energy field is Covanta Energy.

A great news. Renewable energy is the major source of energy in coming future as the natural resources are decreasing day by day. Waste to energy methodology has dual benefits on one side it is reducing waste and energy is producing. If this technology can available at reasonable price then it is more beneficial.

Thanks

Biomediation seems to be the new frontier in energy management. Biomediation is an organic process where algae absorbs the co2 pollutant, gives off oxygen as a byproduct and then the algae is then turned into plastics and or burned as a fuel. When this process is perfected coal and natural gas will no longer be polluters.

Bugs are used in a biomediation system

I think converting waste to energy is a great way to produce alternative energy. If anyone is interested, you can visit http://wastemanagementchicago.com/Waste_Management_Videos.html for some links to videos on how Waste Management is creating energy from waste.
Good day.

Just imagine the impact if these were all around the world. What an incentive for cleaning up.

What a great concept. To get rid of waste and create energy at the same time is amazing. Great information. Thanks a bunch. Rick L.

Laxmi, you should direct your offer to http://www.wheelabratortechnologies.com/contact_us.htm instead of the journalist who wrote this article.

We are a conference organizer and we are managing a conference on Alternative Energy in Korea in late Feb. 2009. Reading your piece, I thought you could have tremendous opportunity in this vastly populate, waste-rich country–Korea. If you would like to make a presentation on your technology to Korean municipalities during the conference, we may be able to arrange a presentation. There will be no cost on your part. We will provide you with a hotel room and local transportation on our expense.
Thank you for your attention,

Laxmi Nakarmi

This is real good thing! getting energy out of wastes huge inavation.
