Looks like Covanta is going to be burning wood fibers to produce energy... Definitely a leading edge application of technology. "has signed on to convert waste paper fibers into clean energy ..." If they get approval to dig up 50 year old paper plant waste. "Pending regulatory approval by the state's Department of Environmental Protection,..." "....will process five million gallons of waste a year from Crane's 50-year old waste pits"

Plastic to Fuel - A star studded project Polymer Energy™, LLC. is a joint venture between Northern Technologies, a leading materials science company, and Zbigniew Tokarz, the inventor of this innovative technology. This proprietary and patent-protected technology is marketed under the T-Technology brand in Europe and under the Polymer Energy™ brand elsewhere in the world. This technology has won several international environmental awards, including being selected as one of the top 10 technologies for environmental protection by the European Environmental Press.Polymer Energy™ offers a viable, economical and environmentally responsible alternative to current methods of recycling and disposal of plastic waste. The Polymer Energy™ system uses catalytic pyrolysis to efficiently convert plastics (primarily polyolefins) into crude oil. The Polymer Energy™ system is modular in design. A single module can produce up to 775 litres of crude oil for every ton of typical plastic waste processed. System capacity can range from 200 tons to 400 tons of plastic wastes processed per month. Overall plant capacity can be easily scaled up by adding additional modules. xybernetizen.com FAQ 3. Does the plastic waste need to be pre-sorted or cleaned prior to processing? No! The plastic waste does not need to pre-sorted or cleaned prior to processing with the Polymer Energy™ system. In fact, one of the key advantages of our system is that the process can tolerate high amounts (up to 30% of the mix) of other contaminants in the input plastics waste stream. As a result, the operator can save on the cost of pre-sorting and cleaning, thus reducing the total cost of operation. Typically the Polymer Energy™ system can process plastics waste with up to 30% of the following contaminants: - mineral impurities such as sand, dirt, etc. - impurities such as glass, small metal parts, etc. - impurities such as cellulose, clothing, etc. - water, oil residue The Polymer Energy™ system is very robust by design and can easily process typical plastic waste such as used agricultural/mulch film, silage wrap and other soiled agricultural plastics, metallized plastics, plastic laminates, printed plastics, wet plastic byproducts and even heavily recycled plastics. The non-plastic contaminants are converted into ash which is automatically removed from the system during the normal cleaning cycle of the system. xybernetizen.com Fact Sheet: Economics: System Data Pre melting feeder The reactor melts and vaporizes plastic in one step between 450° C and 550° C.
