WTEC's
waste gasification system will be housed in two customised 40 foot
shipping containers and transported to the remote Yukon town by C130
transport plane30 January 2012
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.
