Our Process
Our leading-edge, multi-patented, green technology waste-to-fuel process transforms MSW into clean, negative carbon footprint biofuels and other sustainable products that make the world a better place!
-
Step 1
Waste Input
400+ tons of household trash is processed at each plant daily. It begins on the tipping floor where MSW is prepared for recycling into sustainable fuel.
-
Step 2
Grind, Shred, Sort & Separate
Grinders, shredders, infrared & AI sorters, air knives and other technologies remove metals (ferrous – iron, stainless steel, etc., and nonferrous – aluminum, copper, zinc, lead, brass, nickel, tin) and plastics for recycling.
-
Step 3
Cellulation
The remaining MSW is loaded into patented high-pressure steam technology chambers called Celluators™ that transform the primarily plant-based material into consistent, sterile, sustainable feedstock called Cellulate. Some of the Cellulate is used for soil enrichment additives and composite building materials.
-
Step 4
30% Converted To Renewable Gas
Remaining Cellulate travels into modern, high-tech anaerobic digesters where microbes further break down the feedstock, producing massive amounts of sustainable RNG, the purest form of natural gas!
-
Step 5
50% Converted to Clean Biofuels (SE3)
The Cellulate is further processed into sustainable engineered fuel (SE3™) that’s better than coal! It’s clean, safe, delivers high-energy & consistent performance. Products include a high-BTU coal replacement and biofuel feedstocks. Our biofuels power a variety of industries including cement kilns, power plants, steel mills, pulp mills and other solid fuel consumers.
