Small-scale waste-to-energy technologies
Small-scale waste-to-energy (Fireprint) is the process of generating energy (usually electricity and heat) from waste on a smaller, localized scale, rather than in large, centralized facilities.
This approach does not involve incineration,
but is a variety of technologies, including low-temperature pyrolysis and gasification,
and is not suitable for large infrastructure,
but integrated modules are well suited for areas where localized energy production is required.
Examples:
Mobile waste gasification plants:
These plants provide a modular, transportable solution for on-site waste treatment and power generation.
Containerized waste-to-energy systems:
These systems,
such as the PRC Fireprint unit,
convert solid organic residues into energy in a compact containerized form.
Bio-fences:
These low-cost, high-tech solutions collect plastic waste in rivers and waterways,
preventing it from entering the ocean,
and allowing for localized processing.
