The Eco Waste Solutions (EWS) technology utilizes a patented process designed to produce the cleanest possible emissions.  The system is available as either a batch or continuous feed operation.

The batch process involves the gasification of waste materials as a single batch load, without disturbance to the waste bed, and without adding more waste until the completion of the cycle. This design removes the need for constant attendance to the process which is fully automated after loading and starting the machine. This is a starved-air, pyrolytic combustion process where Oxygen levels are kept to a minimum.  The minimal disturbance of the waste during the process results in a very thorough thermal conversion and very low emissions.  The process is depicted below for both batch configurations.

As waste burns in the Primary Chamber the gases generated enter the high temperature, richly oxygenated and turbulent conditions of the Secondary Chamber for cleansing.  Gases are retained for a minimum of two seconds at an internal temperature of 1000°C. 

After the completion of the burn and cooling cycles, residual materials are removed by manual or automated means and the complete process is repeated.

The continuous feed systems operate under the same design principles explained above - pyrolytic gasification in the first stage and thermal oxidation in the second.  However, unlike the batch system, waste is charged on a continuous basis to the primary chamber and ash is conveyed out of the system automatically.

The continuous feed systems allow the ECO model to economically scale up to meet the need for larger capacities.  Also the 24 hour operation is more conducive to energy recovery.

For optimal performance an Air Pollution Control Scrubber is added to any of the models.  Scrubbers are selected depending on the waste type and are designed to meet specific air regulations.  The can neutralize acid gases, remove particulate matter and may also capture heavy metals and other toxic compounds that are not treated by combustion alone.

The process is fully automated and does not require an operator in attendance to oversee the complete cycle once in progress.  Throughout the process the EWS 4G Control System ensures that consistent, thorough and cleanest possible thermal treatment results.
