Pyrolysis Waste-to-Energy Technology

Knowledge and resources pioneered at US Centrifuge Systems into the development of environmentally conscious waste-to-energy technology has uncovered a powerful solution to waste management, agricultural remediation and the generation of renewable energy. Indianapolis-based Organic Power Solutions (OPS) builds commercial-scale plants that convert waste into clean electricity and fuel. The OPS team has developed several patented and patents-pending technologies that recycle 100% of a carbon-based and biomass waste (feedstock) into high-value renewable electricity, oil and carbon-negative char. All contain unique properties and are a great source of additional revenue for companies that use the pyrolysis waste-to-energy operation.

Beyond the Centrifuge

US Centrifuge Systems is the only industrial centrifuge company to have unlimited resources with sister company Organic Power Solutions to build waste-to-energy systems and facilities using pyrolysis technology that generates renewable energy without the use of harmful incineration or gasification attempts. Efficient and responsible conversion of waste material is part of a complete, simple and zero-landfill waste-to-energy process where revenue is earned through cost reductions on energy dependency and value through the sale of high-value co-products.

US Centrifuge Systems expanded its research and development in 1999 with a successful waste-to-energy system that can now convert up 8 tons of waste within one hour of operation into renewable energy. Sister company Organic Power Solutions was established, and now, high-value co-products are created and used in the production of in-house renewable energy or sold to third-party utility companies.

Pyrolysis waste-to-energy systems manufactured by OPS are American-made, factory-built and tested with scalable and module design. Pyrolysis itself is not a new science, but the technical engineers at OPS have advanced it into a zero-landfill solution that turns waste into worth, and offers faster, safer, cleaner and more effective operations than incineration of gasification.

Each system can be configured to match the need of customers seeking one or multiple avenues of:

• Power generation
• Waste remediation
• Oil production
• Char generation
• Precious metal recovery

Each systems contains the patent-pending engineering formulas that offer:

• Multi-staged design
• Co-generation
• Horizontal flights along the augers
• Combusted gas blanketing
• Off-gas scrubbing
• Continuous feed system

Pyrolysis is the anaerobic thermal return of waste to initial carbon and carbon molecule. At temperatures that reach greater than 1,100 degrees Fahrenheit, the waste is converted inside an oxygen-deprived atmosphere. Operations occur at negative atmospheric pressure. No explosions take place, and up to 8 tons of waste can be processed every hour to create the high-value co-products used to make renewable energy.

Advantages of pyrolysis are that any carbon-based waste can be turned into high-quality electricity, there are extremely low emissions, it is a zero-landfill solution, no chemicals are used, and it is profitable to customers through revenue and social responsibility.
