Introduction
ENER·G deliver clean, sustainable and energy efficient technologies, and have a proven history in dealing with waste at landfill gas sites and converting it into renewable energy. This approach to energy from waste was further advanced with the acquisition of Waste Gas Technology (UK) Ltd in 2002.
It is common knowledge that landfilling waste is no longer the long-term solution it was once considered. With this in mind ENER·G set about researching a way in which waste could be dealt with in a more clean and efficient manner whilst retaining the ability to extract the energy value.
Waste Gas Technology (UK) Ltd was working on a groundbreaking technology that enabled the use of the well proven pyrolysis process in conjunction with a high efficiency reciprocating engine. Such a package would have a great number of applications in the energy from waste industry in UK, Europe, and other developed countries
The Pyrolysis Process
The Pyrolysis process is an Advanced Conversion Technology that has the ability to produce a clean, high calorific value gas from a wide variety of waste and biomass streams. The hydrocarbon content of the waste is converted into a gas, which is suitable for utilisation in either gas engines, with associated electricity generation, or in boiler applications without the need for flue gas treatment
Waste Gas Technology had already proven that the technology and its application was feasible however further development was required, which is where the ENER·G Group stepped in. ENER·G's commitment to innovation and research and development into clean energy sources meant that the progression of this technology to the market place ideally complemented the ENER·G Group's own long-term goals.
