South African companies are operating in an economically strained environment and are therefore continuously trying to reduce operational cost through projects such as waste disposal and energy savings. Much focus is being placed on the role that renewable energy sources can and should play in these efforts
The Waste-to-Energy Project involves the development of a plasma gasification system through which waste materials, including municipal, tyre, medical, organic and nuclear waste, is converted into useable and versatile syngas.
The syngas is then converted into various renewable energy sources, including electricity, steam, heat and hydrocarbon fuels and associated products. This is a renewable energy system that reduces energy cost, increase sustainable and clean energy production, and also targets waste disposal challenges effectively.
WASTE-TO-ENERGY PROJECT
THE VALUE PROPOSITION
01
South African patented
A unique tested and proven South African patented technology that uses commonly available feedstock (i.e. various types of waste) to generate energy. In utilising this feedstock, the waste problem is addressed, as well as energy shortages. Over and above these benefits, the cost of energy produced is much more affordable than traditional energy sources.
02
efficient & affordable
This technology is much more efficient and affordable than other forms of renewable energy, and also requires significantly less space (in terms of land and equipment) than solar and wind energy production units and farms.
03
Scalable
The system is scalable in that it is a modular system that can be upscaled as needed when demands increase,
04
24hr Operation
The plant can operate without interruption for a full 24 hours per day, which ensures a constant and reliable supply of energy.
05
agricultural
Each plant includes an agricultural unit for covered hydroponic farming powered by supplemental energy and water from the plant.
06
Self-sustaining
Once in operation, the system is self-sustaining with regard to electricity supply.

Converting waste to energy
TECHNOLOGY PROCESS
A unique tested and proven South African patented technology that uses commonly available feedstock (i.e. various types of waste) to generate energy.
Step
01...
Waste
After waste preparation, the waste is fed into the gasification reactor.
Step
02...
Conversion
The waste is then converted into syngas in the high temperature (thermal) plasma reactor, using air as plasma gas. Depending on the waste, some reagents might be needed to optimise the efficiency of the conversion.
Step
03...
Water Scrubber
After gasification, the syngas is quickly cooled to room temperature before it is stripped of any particulate matter and some inorganic components in a water scrubber.
Step
04...
Energy
The syngas is then converted into energy products such as electricity.

Invest opportunities
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Funding opportunities exist for several 2,5 MW PlasWEn plants. Investors can take up the funding of one plant or several plants, according to their preference. Choose between plants developed for public purposes (municipalities) or private purposes (residential and business use). Get involved in current projects in the Western Cape (fully negotiated) or new projects in other regions.
