PTDR-1000 Waste To Energy System

PEAT's PTDR-1000 waste-to-energy system is an ideal, turn-key solution for industrial facilities. The PTDR-1000 system provides a permanent, fully self-contained platform for facilities seeking an efficient, environmental and economical terminal chemical waste and hazardous waste treatment and disposal solution.

System components

PTDR-1000 Overview

• Cart Lifter/Dumper with gravity-based waste feed system (solid & liquid) and hydraulic screw (and drum) crusher and enclosed screw feeder/conveyor
• Plasma Reactor with Secondary Reaction Chamber
• Gas Cleaning and Conditioning System (depending on feedstock composition): Semi-Dry system with a Spray Dryer/Gas Quencher, Activated Carbon Injection, Baghouse Filter, Packed Bed Tower/Polishing Scrubber, indirect heat exchanger, Cooling Tower, Cooling water system; If high sulfur: Spray Dryer/Gas Quencher, Activated Carbon injection, Baghouse Filter, hydrogen chloride scrubber, alkali scrubber (Sodium Sulfide recovery), indirect heat exchangers; If high Chlorine: high pressure venturi/packed tower, Hydrogen Chloride scrubber (HCl recovery), Alkali Scrubber (Sodium Sulfide recovery), passive particulate filters or baghouse filter; If medical waste: a wet system with a High Pressure Venturi, Packed Bed Tower/Polishing Scrubber, indirect heat exchanger, cooling tower and cooling water systems.
• ID fan with breaking resistance and VFD
• 3, 400 kWe Plasma-Arc Systems with an insulated gate bipolar transistor power supply
• Two 15 kWe, water-cooled, non-transferred arc tap port torches (with single power supply)
• Air Compressor
• Oxygen (90-93% purity) & Nitrogen (98% purity) Pressure Swing Absorption Systems
• Syngas storage/accumulation system
• Syngas Energy Recovery System (Optional):
• 1,300 kWe via a steam cycle power generation system
• 2,000 kWe via gas engines (with HRSG and steam turbine)
• Power Panel (s)
• Process Control System with a PLC and SCADA

Solid wastes are continuously charged (up to 22 hours per day). The feeding system is designed to accommodate 30-gallon (113 liters) waste bags, 400mm x 400mm x 400mm (15.75-inch x 15.75-inch x 15.75-inch) boxes or waste in packed loose solid form. The maximum size of any waste material which can not be twisted/bent can not be more than 400 mm; this means that any part cannot be longer than 400 mm. The feed opening to the system will have clear opening of 600 mm (~ 2 ft) on both sides.

• Electric supply available: maximum connected load of 2,000 to 2,500 KWe (depending on the auxiliaries utilized), voltage/Hz as per local standards), 3Phase, (actual consumption significantly lower)
• Process water capacity of approximately 10 cubic meters/hr (~350 ft3)
• Natural Gas or LPG capacity of approximately 30kg/hr (1.3 MMBTU) during pre-heating of Syngas utilization system
• The automated process control system allows the PTDR-1000 to be operated by a single trained operator. Another 2-4 employees would be utilized to assist with materials handling (waste receiving/feeding and end product collection) and in-field operations.

Approximately 2,850 m² (~31,000 square feet);this includes the on-site power generating equipment.

Warranty data
