Waste gasification developer, Waste to Energy Canada (WTEC)
has been chosen as the successful proponents in a tender to supply
a solid waste management system to the remote fly in community of
Old Crow, Yukon, Canada.
According to the company, its waste to
energy gasification systems are built to withstand harsh
environments, such as that found in Old Crow, where temperatures
range from -31.1 degrees Celsius and 25.0 degrees Celsius and the
only consistent means of access is by aircraft.
WTEC said that the tender required the provision of proven
oxidation gasifier technology that could handle a large spectrum of
waste streams, with its latest technology, the Mobile Gasification
System (MGS) deemed to be the "the right fit".
The pre-configured and pre-tested MGS is to be permanently housed
in two customised 40 foot shipping containers. The company added
that the "plug and play" design is completely stand alone
with minimal assembly required, allowing the system to be set up
and operational within hours.
"WTEC builds a variety of gasification systems capable of
processing .05 to 500 tonnes of waste per day. These plants comply
with the most stringent emission standards in the world, reduce
green house gases, substantially reduce landfill while helping to increase the recycling of glass and metals as they are not destroyed during our
gasification process," commented WTEC CEO, Rod Taylor.
The company said that it expects the MGS to arrive in Old Crow by
April 2012 and be operational almost immediately.
It will be transported to the community via C130 Hercules
aircraft.
