• The system produces a eery high calorific value gas – typically 22MJ/m3
• High volume of gas and thus electrical energy typically 1.1 MW per US ton for materials with nominal CV of 16.
• Maximum use of energy with parasitic load of around 10%
• No fines carry over to gas clean-up system.
• No high temperature moving parts.
• No gas leaks.
• No char (all carbonaceous fraction converted). Remainder of low grade heat is employed to preheat the air to the burners.
• Pyrolyzer exhaust provides heat to preconditioning system.
• Ultra low emissions.
• Purifying syngas is simpler and less expensive than cleaning flue gases from incineration. Entire system can be pre-assembled to minimize site construction.

• Most Environmental Agencies require all air emissions to be heated to 850oC for more than 2 seconds, typically requiring high energy consumption.
• The C6 design reduces energy consumed to almost 15 % of competitive designs. Gases acquire heat from a ceramic bed at one end and deposit it at a bed at the other end prior to discharge to the stack.
• Flow is reversed each 90 sec to allow the previous exit heat sink to heat the incoming gases.
• Last 15% of heat is supplied by syngas produced by the pyrolyzer. The unit removes all volatile organic compounds.
• In the event of high concentrations, NOx can be reduced by 90%. System can be effective from full output to a fraction of output. Easily meets the very strict EU environmental emissions laws, as well as US EPA regulations.
• Neutralizers can be added to treat otherwise difficult compounds.

Thanks to their efficient pyrolysis technology and extremely effective thermal oxidizer clean up equipment, C6 plants easily meet all environmental agency pollution standards. The results below are typical of a C6 plant operating with one engine.

Exceptional technology is only part of a plant’s success. As important is the ability to design, manufacture, install and operate the plant efficiently.

The C6 plant solution includes:

• Engineering analysis and design to optimize the plant to handle the specific waste stream and site layout.
• Manufacture of all key equipment.
• Partner with local suppliers for fabrication of high mass equipment.
• Plant construction (construction times vary between 12 months for a 250 tpd plant and 24 months for a plant with multiple lines).

Advanced Recycling and Energy Conversion plants benefit from multiple sources of revenue, which makes them less sensitive to price variations in any particular area. AREC plants generate revenues from:

• Tipping fees (in the form of landfill taxes and gate fees) from incoming waste.
• The sale of electricity or fuel, often enhanced with renewable energy incentives.
• The sale of recovered metals and other recyclable commodities, and potentially the pathogen free soil supplement residue from processing organic waste

C6’s Advanced Recycling and Energy Conversion plants can utilize centralized or decentralized operating models:

Renewable Energy Centers provide end-to-end processing to convert waste into renewable energy all under one roof.

Alternatively, Waste Transfer Stations can aggregate, sterilize and dry the waste using C6’s autoclave and dryer, which reduces its weight and volume by around 65%. Dry sterile cellulose fiber is then transported to Renewable Energy Centers, where it is pyrolyzed and used to produce renewable energy. This approach reduces waste transport costs and minimizes the risk of transporting bio-hazardous waste.
