GSS Mobile Pyrolysis System Although pyrolysis has been known for a long 5me to be an ideal solu5on for the conversion of troublesome waste materials into useful energy cleanly, it has also long been unknown how to achieve this on a commercial scale efficiently and cost effec5vely un5l now. GSS Energy has designed and produced a process to achieve this. Furthermore GSS Energy has been successful in making this process in a compact and portable form achieving levels of efficiency that create a ra5o of 1:1. That is one tonne of waste into the process can produce 1MW of electrical energy, dependent on the energy content of the waste feedstock. GSS’s process is a constant feed process. The process can handle high pollu5on hazardous waste materials because there are no combus5on emissions. The feedstock is exposed to secondary heat in the absence of oxygen, therefore there is no combus5on. The feedstock is reduced to its basic chemical components of Hydrogen and Carbon. The Hydrogen is a clean fuel gas, used to create heat. The process is highly efficient, 0.5 tonnes of waste will produce approximately 2.5 MW of heat energy with no pollu5ng emissions. This heat energy can be used to produce energy in many different forms including electricity. GSS have specialised in making this unique process not only cost effec5ve and efficient but also compact enough to fit into 40R ISO shipping container, resul5ng in a highly mobile clean waste to energy conversion plant. The process is en5rely selfsufficient. The fuel gas required to provide the heat to sustain the process is bled from the gas produced by the process, thus the process produces its own fuel, there is no need for external fuel input except for the short 5me to start the plant from cold, when a small amount of ancillary fuel is required un5l the process temperature is reached. The whole plant is automa5c and computer controlled. The process is highly flexible and responsive and can be readily and quickly adapted for varying feedstocks. PYROLYSIS Pyrolysis is the thermal decomposi5on of organic material at elevated temperatures in the absence of oxygen. It involves the simultaneous change of the chemical composi5on and physical phase of a waste material, conver5ng the waste to its simplest gaseous form of Hydrogen and Carbon The word is coined from the Greek derived elements pyr "fire" and lysis "separa5ng".

GSS  Mobile  Pyrolysis  System  Although  pyrolysis  has  been  known  for  a  long  5me  to  be  an  ideal  solu5on  for  the  conversion  of  troublesome  waste  materials  into  useful  energy  cleanly,  it  has  also  long  been  unknown  how  to  achieve  this  on  a  commercial  scale  efficiently  and  cost  effec5vely  un5l  now.  GSS  Energy  has  designed  and  produced  a  process  to  achieve  this.  Furthermore  GSS  Energy  has  been  successful  in  making  this  process  in  a  compact  and  portable  form  achieving  levels  of  efficiency  that  create  a  ra5o  of  1:1.  That  is  one  tonne  of  waste  into  the  process  can  produce  1MW  of  electrical  energy,  dependent  on  the  energy  content  of  the  waste  feedstock.    

GSS’s  process  is  a  constant  feed  process.  The  process  can  handle  high  pollu5on  hazardous  waste  materials  because  there  are  no  combus5on  emissions.  The  feedstock  is  exposed  to  secondary  heat  in  the  absence  of  oxygen,  therefore  there  is  no  combus5on.  The  feedstock  is  reduced  to  its  basic  chemical  components  of  Hydrogen  and  Carbon.  The  Hydrogen  is  a  clean  fuel  gas,  used  to  create  heat.  The  process  is  highly  efficient,  0.5  tonnes  of  waste  will  produce  approximately  2.5  MW  of  heat  energy  with  no  pollu5ng  emissions.  This  heat  energy  can  be  used  to  produce  energy  in  many  different  forms  including  electricity.  GSS  have  specialised  in  making  this  unique  process  not  only  cost  effec5ve  and  efficient  but  also  compact  enough  to  fit  into  40R  ISO  shipping  container,  resul5ng  in  a  highly  mobile  clean  waste  to  energy  conversion  plant.  

The  process  is  en5rely  self-­‐sufficient.  The  fuel  gas  required  to  provide  the  heat  to  sustain  the  process  is  bled  from  the  gas  produced  by  the  process,  thus  the  process  produces  its  own  fuel,  there  is  no  need  for  external  fuel  input  except  for  the  short  5me  to  start  the  plant  from  cold,  when  a  small  amount  of  ancillary  fuel  is  required  un5l  the  process  temperature  is  reached.  The  whole  plant  is  automa5c  and  computer  controlled.  The  process  is  highly  flexible  and  responsive  and  can  be  readily  and  quickly  adapted  for  varying  feedstocks.    

PYROLYSIS  Pyrolysis  is  the  thermal  decomposi5on  of  organic  material  at  elevated  temperatures  in  the  absence  of  oxygen.      It  involves  the  simultaneous  change  of  the  chemical  composi5on  and  physical  phase  of  a  waste  material,  conver5ng  the  waste  to  its  simplest  gaseous  form  of  Hydrogen  and  Carbon    The  word  is  coined  from  the  Greek-­‐derived  elements  pyr  "fire"  and  lysis  "separa5ng".

In  the  UK,  in  common  with  most  countries  of  Europe  the  electricity  genera5on  margin  has  fallen  over  the  last  three  years  from  17%  to  3%.  This  margin  is  the  measure  of  security  of  supply,  the  defini5on  of  which  is  if  3%  (current  margin)  of  available  genera5on  were  to  break  down  at  any  5me,  there  would  be  power  cuts.  There  is  therefore  an  urgent  need  for  more  energy  produc5on  with  a  short  lead  5me.  To  further  exacerbate  the  situa5on  there  is  also  an  issue  with  available  fuel.  There  is  a  global  drive  to  reduce  the  use  of  tradi5onal  hydro  carbon  fuels  which,  when  burned,  produce  significant  pollu5ng  materials  that  are  the  source  of  Greenhouse  gases  and  subsequent  damage  to  the  environment.    

GSS  Mobile  Pyrolysis  System  

The  current  technology  currently  being  employed  for  commercial  renewable  energy  is  predominantly  wind  and  solar.  The  energy  created  by  these  methods  is  “peaky”  and  not  base  load.  This  energy  is  available  only  when  the  natural  elements  of  wind  and  Sun  are  available  in  reliable  quan55es  and  quality,  this  oRen  does  not  coincide  with  the  5mes  of  peak  energy  demand.  Alterna5ve  fuels  must  be  found.  Where  beber  to  look  than  at  the  mountains  of  waste  produced  in  modern  life,  which,  in  itself  is  also  equally  as  damaging  to  the  environment.  Dealing  with  this  waste  is  also  extremely  costly.  GSS  see  other  people’s  waste  as  our  fuel.  Wouldn’t  it  be  a  perfect  solu5on  to  consume  expensive,  pollu5ng  waste  to  fuel  base  load  energy  produc5on  cleanly  with  no  harmful,  pollu5ng  emissions?  That  is  what  GSS  energy  has  been  established  to  achieve.  GSS  have  harnessed  the  technology  of  pyrolysis.
