Waste Recycling & Reuse + Power Generation
Mobile Environmental Power, Inc.
WASTE TO ENERGY SYSTEMS
• Gasification is a time-tested, reliable technology. Gasifiershave been in use for almost 200 years with origins in the 1800s.
• Gasification is an environmentally sound way to transform anycarbon-based material, such as coal, refinery byproducts, tires,biomass, and trash, into energy without burning it.
• Gasification converts the solid and liquid waste materials intoa “synthesis gas”(syngas). The syngas is much cleaner than theflue gas produced by incinerators, and the reduction reactionsare sustainable.
• Use of WtE facilities can reduce landfill waste by 90% or more.Worldwide gasification capacity is expected to grow by 70% by2015.
• The Innviron Power system is a clean technology that exceedsFederal Air Quality Standards by more than one to three ordersof magnitude.
• Gasification works in conjunction with recycling programs.
Creating a cleaner future today
One of today’s toughest challenges is finding clean energysources that are both environmentally and economically
viable. Mobile Environmental Power, Inc. answers that challenge.
Waste to Energy (WtE) facilities solve the overflowing landfill issues while creating a clean, green renewable energy source. Of the primary WtE methods (pyroylsis, gasification incineration, plasma & methanogeses), gasification proves to be the most efficient and environmentally friendly.
Mobile Environmental Power, Inc. provides gasification units for any size and need—from 60kw mobile generators to 200MW+ systems, able to power cities.
Gasification Advantages Mobile Environmental Power, Inc. experience and qualifications in solid and haz-ardous waste management are second to none.
Waste to Energy facilities “are economically sound investments that provide multiple financial and environmental benefits to the communities that use them.” SOLID WASTE ASSOC. OF NORTHAMERICA
Waste to Energy reduces global GHGs by avoiding methane emissions from landfills and reducing CO2 emissions from fossil fuel consumption.
Mobile Environmental Power, Inc. professionals have designed, managed and/or constructed more than 350 waste management facilities, including: landfills, leachate and gas treat-ment systems, compost plants, transfer stations, sorting facili-ties, waste gasification facilities, medical waste treatment facilities, and hazardous waste facilities.
One reason—Mobile Environmental Power, Inc. professionals have combined more than 100 years experience processing waste into RDF and ultimately into clean, green, renewable energy. Simply put, no other company or system has this expertise.
Why will Mobile Environmental Power, Inc. Systems work when others have not?
What is Gasification?
Gasification may be defined as follows:
“A process technology that is designed and operated for the purpose of
producing synthesis gas through the chemical conversion of carbonaceous
materials.”
A Process that converts carbonaceous materials through a process involving
partial oxidation of the feedstock in a reducing atmosphere in the presence
of steam at temperatures sufficient to convert the feedstock to synthesis
gas, to convert inorganic matter in the feedstock to a glassy solid material
known as vitreous frit or slag, and to convert halogens into the
corresponding acid halides.”
“A process that incorporates a modern, high-
temperature gasifier with auxiliary gas and
water treatment systems to produce refined
product synthesis gas, which when
combusted, produces emissions in full
compliance with the Clean Air Act.”

Hazerdous Wastes”, prepared for US Department of Energy by Radian International LLC, 30

Mobile Environmental Power, Inc. will design a system to suit your needs.
Feedstock is delivered to facility. (Acceptable feed-stocks are MSW, biomass, green waste, tires, rubber, C&D, sludge.)
Feedstock is sorted using a sem-automated system to remove potentially recyclable materials.
Feedstock is then shredded to produce RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel).
RDF is fed into Gasifer where it is heated to a tem-perature between 1600°F to 1800°F, thus creating the SYNGAS. Major components of syngas are N2 CO, H2, and CO2, with water and CH4.
A cyclone is installed between the gasifer and the combustion tube to reduce particulate matter by up to 70%.

The gas exits the combustion chamber at approximately 1400°F and goes into the boiler. The combustion chamber is designed to produce N
2 instead of NO
x.
A Heat Recovery Steam Boiler produces high temperature and high pressure steam.
Steam fuels the turbine to produce electricity. Approximately 0.5 to 1.0 MW hours are generated for one ton of RDF.
Electricity is delivered to end user.
Ash and slag are deposited to be landfilled. Approximately 5% original RDF volume remains as ash/slag.
The Air Pollution Control System limits particulate emissions concentrations by orders of magnitude compared to the US Air Quality Standards.
