Configuration
Commercial facility energy recovery configuration alternatives are shown on the following schematic flow chart
Origin
EER’s thermal treatment technology (PGM Technology) originated in a process for the treatment of Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste (LILRW), designed and developed some twenty years ago at the presrigeous RRC - Kurchatov Institute andimplemented for a number of years in SIA - Radon in Russia
Advantages
PGM Technology offers an economically and environmentally superior alternative to all other waste disposal methods such as landfill, incineration as well as other non-incineration thermal treatments (Gasification and Pyrolysis).
Process Details
MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) or other waste material is fed into a vertical shaft reactor by means of air-tight in-feed system, passing on its way down through four zones
Description
PGM’s ONE-STEP process combines complete waste elimination, energy recovery and formation of non-leaching inert residues. PGM technology is superior to incineration in most environmental aspects as well as in capital and operating costs.
