Pyromex Waste to Energy Technology
Swiss Company Pyromex has been developing waste management technologies for almost twenty years. Their goal is to lower emissions and reduce landfill waste with their patented ultra-high temperature gasification system. In 1999 the first industrial plant was built in Germany. According to the company, the Pyromex gasification system can treat all types of waste, with the single exception of heavily contaminated nuclear residues! The Pyromex technology just may be the ultimate waste energy solution - to treat all types of waste without waste residues and without harmful emissions to the atmosphere - while recovering all valuable constituent of the waste at highly economic conditions.

- Fitting into a small, compact, two level construction
- No smoke stack necessary
- Accelerated waste treatment processing
- All valuable contents of the waste are recoverable
- Different energy recovery technologies possible
- Various energy utilization possible
Economical
- Lower investment costs compared to common waste treatment plant
- Fewer costs for treatment and maintenance
- Low energy requirements
- Greater power output per ton than that of common waste treatment plants
- Profitable business, not just a break-even operation
Waste Tires-to-Energy
The United States alone generates over 280 million waste tires a year. Although numerous recycling programs and methods have been deployed over the years, a large percentage of these tires still end up in landfills. Converting these waste tires into usable energy through environmentally responsible technology provides a significant opportunity.
The PYROMEX Waste-To-Energy technology consists of an induction heated, ultra-high temperature gasification process. The PYROMEX conversion process converts all the organic content of the waste stream into a high-energy synthetic gas “pyrogas” while the inorganic content is converted to an inert, non-leachable basalt-like material.
Although the system utilizes temperatures as high as 3000 F, it is not an incineration or simple pyrolysis process. Using energy-efficient induction heating, the process generates heat in an oxygen-free environment causing a series of chemical reactions to occur through pyrolysis and hydrolysis. This process converts all components of the waste stream, including non-toxic, toxic, and hazardous materials, into usable forms of energy and inert residue. In addition, the system exceeds all current environmental and emission standards.
Due to the fact that the rubber in tires has a high energy value (and through peeling, shredding, and crumbing) it becomes a very valuable feed material in the generation of “pyrogas” and electricity. On an average, a waste rubber processing facility can totally offset their energy costs, reduce or eliminate their tipping fees, and have a significant excess of saleable energy to create an additional revenue source.
The PYROMEX process represents the next generation of technology in the tire recycling business. Through the installation of a system, an organization can not only measure profits by what they save in tipping and disposal fees, but they can now offset operational costs while generating a new revenue stream based on the sale of energy (either gas or electricity) from the material that previously cost them disposal fees.

Dear Sir,
For many years we have studied waste to energy technology but we find that it is too expensive. We are looking to install a unit for our light rail transit project, where the energy from the project will be utilized in the LRT project. Can anyone give us an estimate for the potential electrical output of 1000 tons of municipal waste per day? We are very interested with this project and also to solve the garbage problem of our country.
Thanks, Cris Saavedra

Cris,
If you can provide specifics about the ongoing supply and composition of the MSW you’re referring to, I would be happy to give you an estimate on the amount of electric power that could be produced.
Also, if the 1000 tons of waste per day could be converted into liquid fuels (i.e., ethanol or low-sulphur diesel) and electricity, would this scenario be of interest to you?

Your output per 100mt of MSW should be about 3.1 to 3.5Mw. The payback of a WTE plant should be less than 5 years from start to complete payback.

NASA has been doing this for 30 + years in Hampton, Virginia. Ask them.

Two issues:
1. The amount of syngas produced from MSW and therefore the power generation potential is dependent upon the chemical composition of the waste stream.
2. I represent independent financiers who are interested in promoting high efficiency technologies for the conversion of MSW, sludge, spent tires, agricultural waste, shipboard waste, etc. such that the financiers will provide 100% of the cost of the facilities, even the ongoing maintenance and operation, in exchange for the tipping fees and the purchase of the power.
If you have clients or potential customers who need financing to close a sale, it costs nothing to contact me for further details.
Thank you.

Dear Sirs,
We are very interested in your technology, and would be grateful to receive more information on it. We are looking for a system like yours at Pyromex, as we are able to build a plant for the treatment of approx. 220 tons per day, not included used tires nor used motor oils or used cooking oils.
Do you think it will be possible to obtain financing for this project, having assured the selling of electricity produced at a 1 or 2 MW electric generator?

Hi
We are interested in the technology you are developing do you have any operational facilities?
Please can you send additional info to the e-mail we have provided?
Thank-you Ginny McKinney

We are very interested in your technology, and would be grateful to receive more information on it. We are looking for a system like yours to help us deal both rising energy demand (both electrical power/fuel/fuel oils options available whether single or combinational) and with land fill problems in Kenya also please note also financing options available.
