Thermal Recovery Unit

The Thermal Recovery Unit (TRU) is a patented and proprietary process which continuously converts organic materials into non-hazardous, recoverable resources (hot gases, steam and carbon char) within an oxygen-free environment.

What is Thermal Recovery (Pyrolysis)?

Thermal Recovery is the destructive distillation of organic material through the application of intense indirect heat without oxygen. Waste material is converted to methane gases (for use in power generation) and non-hazardous carbon char (a resalable byproduct). This system is in compliance with US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Clean Air Act guidelines.

Through this process, waste volume may be reduced by as much as 92%. Thermal Recovery can also yield recoverable energy outputs of around 5 BTU for every BTU of input!

Thermal Recovery is NOT Incineration

Unilke traditional incineration systems, the TRU releases no harmful byproducts or emissions. This system has been rated "Best Available Control Technology" (BACT) by regulatory agencies worldwide.

Applications

Marketable applications for the TRU are as diverse as they are beneficial. Such applications include recycling of tires/rubber, municipal solid waste, medical waste, plastics, sewage sludge, industrial wastes and contaminated soils. Recycling of carbon neutral agricultural and biomass wastes, as well as environmentally-sound recovery and development opportunities, are possible through the TRU's valuable yields of energy and char.
