Energoni group is actively pursuing projects for its products in East and West Europe, United States, Canada, Middle-East, Asia and Australia. Energoni group is in constant search for partners, concerning the promotion of the revolutionary plant, based on a technology up to now unequalled by competitors. Energoni`s mission is to improve our planet, eliminating the Waste without polluting the environment, ensuring an incredible amount of Hydrogen and therefore of green energy.
The installation is essentially a complete plant for the ecological transformation of the organically composed refuse (chemical carbon compounds) 1 into electrical energy. What goes into the process: refuse which has been appropriately treated and crushed (and where necessary exsiccated), pure oxygen produced by the air fractioning plant, pure distilled or dematerialized water. What goes out of the plant: pyrolysis gas which are divided in carbon dioxide for industrial use and hydrogen for the production of electrical energy either with simple or combined systems (boiler, gas turbine , steam turbine or fired cells); vitrified dummies and pure water. During the cycle the refuse acts as fuel supplier, the oxygen is the supported of combustion and the water is the oxidizing agent.
Any other industrial waste known for which an analysis must be done to check for the presence of carbon and hydrogen in the molecules.
The material to be treated arrives at section 1 in its crude state; her it is unloaded and stored in a big warehouse of prefabricated cement from where it will be conveniently forwarded for fragmenting and crushing treatment. The "refuse" is transported on special conveyor belts to the treatment area which can be so divided: A first crushing process whose purpose is to reduce the raw material to a maximum 1 cm wide, and during this process it will also be deprived of iron, metals and all other eventual dummies present. During this first stage of crushing the raw material will be crushed by crushing machine with blades placed in such a way as to obtain fragments no bigger than one centimeter (this is required for the next machinery that follows). This machinery is already available in commerce and doesn’t pose any problem of sort, the only issue to keep in consideration is the energy consumption and so we have chosen “energy-wise” machinery. A section below the crusher removes the iron by means of magnetic systems and all other eventual metals and dummies present are removed by gravimetrical systems. All the machinery has a redundancy in order to provide maintenance about once every two weeks as the plant must function 24/24 through the whole year.
The second crushing reduces the material to the state of dust powder or to particles of a diameter of less than one millimeter with the help of cryogenic cooling in liquid nitrogen (produced in the plant which will also produce oxygen). In the second phase of crushing the material which has now been reduced in pieces of 1 cm, will be cooled to crystallizing temperature by means liquid nitrogen. At this point the material is introduced into special mills which with a very low energy consumption (thanks to the fragility of the product which has been crystallized At -100 ° temperatures) crumbles and crushes the product, reducing it to powder. This powder is stored in tanks, and it’s from this that the feeding system of will draw. The feeding systems of group 1) and group 2) will be expressly developed in order to guarantee by means of variable speed delivery chutes and conveyor belts product loads controlled according to necessity, and very important for the quality of pyrolysis, free of air (seeing as nitrogen present in it is not desired); here, there exists before the emission in a system (vacuum pumps). The introduction of the material into takes place by an immediate weighing and calculation system, of the load introduced; it is an original apparatus and well-aided by original control and calculation software studied by the technicians.
It is the CORE OF THE PLANT; the place where the principal procedure take place (pyrolysis at high temperature, ). The pulverized, air-free product, at a temperature of about 0° C, is introduced into a special exchanger (first group). This apparatus thanks to the high-pressure vapor and the very high temperature is able to immediately heat the material to an extremely elevated temperature, producing an instantaneous pre-gasification of the pulverized solid product. In this part we introduce the product treated in section 2) with the addition of steam (which has formed a very dense gaseous mixture), in a first burner fed by hydrogen and oxygen. This brings the gas to a very high temperature and maintains it there for the time required to initiate the pyrolysis procedure. Subsequently ° it passes into a second burner, still fed by oxygen and hydrogen, where the temperature is brought to 2000° C. This brusque and violent raising of the temperature is necessary to energize the mixture to the point of provoking the instantaneous rupture of the complex molecular chains of the which will at this point be H 2 , CO, CO 2 ,H 2 O and eventually (depending on the type of product) simple acid such as HCl (hydrochloric) or H 2 SO 4 (sulphuric). At this stage (depending on the necessity) stoichiometrical quantities of dummies will be injected, which by verification, will capture any eventual heavy metals which could still be contained in the refuse. It is important to understand at this point that NOx can never develop in the reactor as the feeding of the supported of combustion is not done by air (which contains N 2) but by pure oxygen extracted from the section which produces oxygen. The dioxins, which are chains generated by chlorine, are transformed, thanks to the calculated times of permanence of the high temperature gas in the reactor and, above all thanks to the fact that the same atmosphere is composed of high percentage of hydrogen, into chlorine acid which will be subsequently be easily removable. Seeing as the reactor is entirely constructed in special steels and in super alloys based of nickel and chrome, it is constantly monitored in every detail by means of appropriate instruments, and the internal walls are kept at a temperature inferior to critical point for steel and/or alloy by means of an original system of internal cooling.
The gas now composed of high level purity oxygen (it is a sufficiently pure for future use of fuel cell) is sent to the electrical energy generation section. This part of the plant will be composed of a gas turbine with boiler recuperator. The hydrogen will be mixed with 20% methane (this is necessary as to present turbines that can operate with hydrogen alone don’t exist because of construction problems with the combustion chamber of the gas turbine General Electric). Electric energy will be obtained from the alternator compiled with the gas turbine. The discharges from the gas turbine after the completed work will still have a temperature over 550 °. Their energy is recuperated by boiler recuperator, with the purpose of the producing steam at 450-500 ° and pressure 140-150 bar which will go toward the steam turbine where it will be mixed with recuperated steam from the section so as to produce by means of the alternator compiled with the turbine other electrical energy. The total energy produced will be more than 40 MW/h. Part of the electrical energy produced will be used in the various sections of the plant and a remaining part of over 50-53 MW/h will be introduced into the National Energy Network.
The functioning of the plant is linked to the oxygen and liquid nitrogen production plant, which will be constructed entirely by specialized companies with many years experience in this sector
The entire group set-up is governed by intelligent systems which manage every particular detail relating to the group of which it is part, and all groups are managed and guided by a single software logic which permits the normal regular flow of the process and to deal with eventual emergencies, either inside or outside the system (National Energy Network, lack of feed product for the system due to strikes beyond 15 days of autonomy, unforeseen breakdown or malicious damage). The software and all the hardware connected are the brains which permit the fluidity of the procedure, the transformation of waste refuse into hydrogen and from this into clean electrical energy.
The proposed process is a patented system (European patent) to transform waste made of organic matter (carbon chemistry) in pure hydrogen and obtaining electric and thermal power with no dangerous emissions; our goal is to achieve zero emissions. We are a well organized team, in technical projects, in quality production, in marketing, in product research and negotiation of financial loans and grants from both private and public institutions. Our philosophy is based on achieving the most flexibility, the best quality and the most intelligent competition. The pyrolysis system and gasification at high temperature were created to dispose of organic waste matter having regard for the environment and to obtain the maximum power that is technologically possible. The process has been adjusted mainly to extract Hydrogen fuel (these applications will expand in a ground-breaking way in the immediate future), inert vitrified usable waste that will not harm the atmosphere, and CO 2 for industrial use. Different types of waste have different treatments for the pyrolytic gas escaping from the reactor, but the formation basis for pyrolysis gas and gasification to high temperature is almost always the same: (H 2 +CO 2 ).
Advanced technology plant for the production of clean electric and thermal energy from liquid and/or solid wastes with an organic (carbon chemistry) component base The process that we are presenting here is based on the principle of very high temperature pyrolysis of organic substances (substances containing primarily carbon and hydrogen) in order to produce pure H 2 gas to use as fuel in equipment such as steam boilers combined with a turbine , in gas turbines or in fuel cells. The purpose of the system is to produce electric energy that, in addition to feeding the cycle’s power consumption, produces a surplus that can be used for external power consumption. The basic concepts on which this technology is based are those of clean and appropriate pyrolysis that is developed at high temperature, controlled with the help of electronic control and adjustment systems, with gas, almost entirely composed of molecular hydrogen (H 2), as an end product. Its use in fuel cells will be possible as soon as production is industrialized in a competitive manner, not so much from the perspective of the thermodynamic process that reaches an efficiency of 60%, as from the perspective of the market price. In the initial stage fuel obtained from the process will be used in pressurized boilers to produce steam from which, with an jump of enthalpy in the turbine, electric energy is obtained; or in gas turbines combined with condensation type heat exchangers to produce electric energy and, where necessary and usable, hot water for medical/health-care use and/or heating. The end result is the production of electric energy, thermal energy and the possibility to recover condensed water coming from the H 2 combustion of pyrolysis and atmospheric O 2 . Part of the pure water will be used in the cycle itself, while the remainder can be used either as pure water (distilled) or as a mixture in drinking water derived from desalination plants. The inert part present in wastes both liquid and solid is vitrified in the reactor furnace at temperature of pyrolysis and extracted as material rendered totally inert and usable in mixtures for road surfacing, in cement factories or to improve inert products. This is a closed cycle in which no pollutants are released on the ground or in the atmosphere. It is possible to produce electric and thermal energy and pure water from waste materials, which up to now have always had a significant effect on the environment both through disposal in controlled landfills and through incineration in incinerating furnaces rich in emissions into the atmosphere and producers of C category landfill ash.
