SENREQ Gasification and Emissions Standards
What
everyone really wants to know...
What are the environmental benefits of the SENREQ system?
-
Conserves valuable fossil fuel.
-
Saves land lost to landfills
-
Meets or exceeds every EPA & Canadian emission
standard
-
Produces no toxic ash or residue
-
Recovers 100% of usable recyclables.
-
No water or leachate problems. No odor issues
-
No insect or vermin problems. No bird predation.
-
No animal transmitted diseases.
SENREQ Gasification and the EPA
What
about SENREQ and environmental concerns?
Converting waste into energy requires a significant amount of
interaction with environmental protection agencies at the Federal, State
and Local levels. SENREQ has been successful in establishing credible
relationships with several of these regulatory bodies.
Approval for a SENREQ Gasification system
usually involves the following:
-
Industrial zoning
-
Local industrial and building code requirements
-
Land management approval
-
MSW management plan compliance
-
Air Emission permits
What
about the SENREQ system and CO2?
The CO2
emitted by the SENREQ unit approaches industrial grade purity. It can be
immediately captured and used. For example, CO2 from a SENREQ unit can be directly pumped into lagoons to
promote blue-green algae growth. The algae can then be harvested, and
potentially used as feed stock for ethanol plants.
Performance and Operating Experience
The technical developers of the SENREQ System have more than 50 years of
combined experience in gasification system design, thermal process
operations, waste-to-power plant operations and other supporting
disciplines. The current SENREQ Gasification system and its predecessors
have been successfully tested by over a dozen different accredited
laboratories on three continents. These testing protocols and the
reports which come from them are voluminous. SENREQ supplies these
testing histories upon written request to qualified respondents.
