About GasificationGasification releases a huge amount of the energy potential biomasses hold. Through a slow and controlled “burning”, biomass bonds break releasing heat energy and result in a gas (syngas). The gas composition varies as dependent on the input raw material; slag and other components such as metals that might require the gas to be filtered. After removing these unwanted particles, the output is a clear burning gas that physically and chemically resembles natural gas, yet stands as a green energy source. This process represents an efficient and sustainable alternative to traditional waste and residue disposal, where unused material is converted to energy, reducing its negative impact in the environment.

Why to choose it?
Organic waste disposal is a necessity everywhere. Regular waste and residue disposal methods do not take advantage of the energy each component has stored, which result in common side effects such as bad odor, methane gas contamination, visual contamination, large landfill sites, and others. ESCOL’s gasification plants have the capacity to solve all those problems. Bad odors, contamination and area limitations are repressed in the process. Waste transport is also reduced as plants can be built near landfills or wherever the waste or residue is produced. Moreover, synthetic gas is produced in the process, so as to generate income. This gas is considered to be a green energy source, as its carbon balance is close to zero! Moreover, ashes can be mixed into construction material or used with other purposes, depending on the composition.
Benefits
EnvironmentalGasification is an environmentally-sustainable waste disposable process. Transforming other industry and agriculture residues and wastes into a green energy source (synthesis gas), efficiency and material exploitation is taken to another level.
Gasified biomass is a mass that had taken carbon dioxide from the environment in a recent past, so when it is released again during gasification and posterior synthetic gas combustion, the balance is close to the equilibrium. Emissions of harmful gases such as methane and water contamination, which are common side effects of other waste disposal methods, are completely controlled by this process, so when compared with the others there is no competition. Biomass gasification purifies waste by converting it to reusable energy. Moreover, the process itself is sustainable, as the resulting carbon balance is zero! |

EconomicGasification reduces the expenses of transporting and storing wastes and organic residues. Gasification output is easier to transport and its volume in comparison to the previous state decreases dramatically.
Both the synthesis gas and the ashes can be commercialized or employed to supply needs that would otherwise demand economic expenditures. For example, the resultant gas can be used to replace natural gas in processes different to the gasification (cooking, heating, other industrial processes), reducing the company’s expenses. The modular design of the plants grants an easier capacity expansion, as wastes and residues are expected to grow as your business grows. This flexible system minimizes costs and facilitate machinery inspection, operation, maintenance and parts replacement. |
