Fuels and Services
Once waste has been collected, it is processed to create suitable fuel sources for the technology at the Power Plant. Below are three types of waste generated fuels defined:
Refuse derived fuel (RDF) is produced from domestic and business waste, which includes biodegradable material as well as plastics.
Non-combustible materials such as glass and metals are removed, and the residual material is then shredded.
To site an example, RDF is used to generate energy at recovery facilities, many of them in Europe where they produce electricity and hot water for communal heating systems.
Solid recovered fuel (SRF) is a ...
Impact
As we move towards a clean energy future, Waste to Energy has huge potential in helping Australia achieve its targets for renewable energy and the reduction of carbon emissions.
Resource Savings and Recovery greatly expanded. There are many examples where the process of waste to energy increases resource recovery. For example Metals which are missed during initial transformation of waste to fuel are recovered and recycled later in the process of energy creation.
Waste to Energy is a Net Greenhouse Gas Reducer. Methane is a greenhouse gas which is emitted from decomposing waste in landfills. It has more than 20 times the potency of ...
Thermal Combustion Technology
With the help of CSS Energy Solutions and our partners, we offer the most up to date thermal technologies for processing SRF/RDF/PEF and Biomass into valuable electricity, steam and heat.
These technologies include vibrating, travelling and moving grate combustion, as well as ring and underfeed furnaces for low to mid temperature combustion.
Gasification & Plasma Gasification Technology
The gasification process is layered by two different processes, that can be separated by heat temperature treatment ranges.
Gasification is the treatment of solid waste/refuse at a temperature range of between 700 -1400 ...
Biomass
CSS Energy Solutions works with our technology providers to offer small to large size Biomass fed Power Plants, from 1MW to 50MW. These Biomass Power Plants can produce steam only or Steam & Electricity as a Co-Generation System.
The advantage of Co-Generation is the ability to produce dual energy streams to local industry or similar.
CSS Energy Solutions Biomass Combustion Technologies use many types of Biomass Fuel's including Forestry & Mill Residue's, Agricultural Materials, Grown Crop Residue's, Wood Waste and Food Crops.
For more information on our technologies for Biomass Power Generation, please contact us.
Waste to Energy
Waste to Energy (WtE) or Energy from Waste (EfW) are broad terms referring to any process which creates energy from a waste source.
As we work towards a clean energy future, utilising waste as a resource has huge potential to assist in creating sustainable renewable energy while significantly reducing carbon emissions.
It is widely agreed that to minimise waste by design, recycling and reuse is the best way to protect our natural resources and environment.
Waste to Energy solutions do not replace waste minimisation in importance and strategy, however are a further measure to ensure we are utilising resources already spent ...
