Countries such as the Philippines have been continuously searching for new methods of eliminating waste issues and the growing cost of fossil fuel generated electricity supply. The more waste products, the more demand of landfill space. With such a small country as the Philippines is the growing possibility that we could be curried under mountains of waste. Nowadays, it seems that waste management information is being correlated to the green industry. Green companies have been practically branding themselves as green advocates towards implementing new innovations towards converting waste into green energy.
Waste to energy process- what is it?
Waste to energy is a method of which waste that is usually found in our homes and sanitary landfills are utilized to generate green electricity. It provides a sustainable and convenient source of electricity once the gasification process is applied. How? You asked this technique is made possible by a new technology known as the Biosphere technology. Through this innovative technology, the waste would undergo a certain process that would make waste turned into green energy possible.
What is the gasification process?
Gasification process of the biosphere may be viewed in a less complicated standpoint. The waste is fed into a chamber where controlled amounts of oxygen in thermal decomposition will takes place upon converting waste into a gaseous state that would then be directed through a series of outputs that would drive a steam turbine from the gas that has been generated by the first chamber. This process is considered as a carbon neutral approached because there are no harmful green house gases emitted throughout the process. Waste to energy through the gasification process by the biosphere technology is not considered as an incineration technique. The biosphere technology initially introduced a sterile process that creates a carbon neutral impact to our environment.
A biosphere plant may consist of various sections such as waste combustion chamber, recovery boiler, fuel to gas treatment and steam cycle turbines that would drive green energy that would generate electricity for urban and rural areas. The hot gas that is produced by the combustion chamber would carry the gaseous matter into the boiler in order to be converted into steam that is directly used as heat in order for a steam turbine to produce power. A single biosphere plant could treat half a million tons of waste per year therefore; generating more than 400 million kWh the whole year round.
This innovative approach towards finding new solutions to alleviate the world's problem in a much larger and faster scale provides better alternative without diminishing our natural resources. Waste to energy generation may be the answer to this depressing issue of waste augmentation and high energy cost. This modern biosphere technology plant are quite sophisticated when it comes to air pollution control and is far cleaner than coal fired plants. These plants burn materials that associate carbon dioxide uptakes therefore diminishing global warming gas emission contrast to fossil fuel combustion that emits large amounts of green house gases into the atmosphere.
