biomass energyBiomass is solar energy stored in plant material such as wood through photosynthesis Declining oil reserves growing environmental awareness and political issues surrounding fossil fuels have renewed the interest in and demand for our original source of energy
Biomass comes in many forms The type of biomass used globally for electricity generation varies by region and includes forest by-products such as wood residues agricultural waste (sugar cane or rice husks) purpose-grown energy crops and animal husbandry residues such as poultry litter and animal byproducts Biomass energy is also contained in municipal and industrial waste
sustainabilityEnergy particularly renewable energy is a priority for many countries around the world There are continuing dialogues related to peak oil global warming and politics affecting the secure supply of sustainable and environmen-tally responsible energy for future generations
Biomass including municipal solid waste is considered a renewable resource that produces sustainable energy The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified biomass-to-energy as an essential component of climate change mitigation strategies Biomass energy promotes a sustainable future for our planet
ecoPHASER and biomassThe ecoPHASER biomass-to-energy system has the capacity to extract energy from mono-fuels as well as varied waste streams Plant design varies accordingly
Mono-FuelThe ecoPHASER system extracts energy from forestry or agricultural residues (eg sugar cane) as well as purpose-grown king grass and other energy-dense crops
Municipal WasteThe ecoPHASER converts municipal solid waste into clean electricity after recycleables are salvaged for resale The system can also process industrial waste and medical waste

gasification technologyThe 12 MWehour ecoPHASER biomass-to-energy (B2E) combined heat and power (CHP) generation station converts biomass into electric power through gasification This technology is one of the most environmentally-friendly and efficient systems in todayrsquos waste management and electricity generation market The plant generates clean electricity with negligible greenhouse gas emissions with no airborne pollution and no ground contamination
gasificationGasification is a flexible and reliable clean energy technology that can turn various low-value feedstocks (including garbage) into high-value products It helps reduce depend-ence on (imported) oil and natural gas and offers a sustaclean alterna-tive source of baseload electricity fertilizers fuels and chemicals Gasification is a manufacturing process that recovers the energy that is contained in any carbon-based material including coal petcoke or biomass
waste managementIn addition to clean energy genera-tion gasification offers a complete and permanent waste management and disposal solution ecoPHASER sustainably reduces waste volumes by up to 98 yielding the remain-ing 2 in pozzolanic ash which can be used in concrete products
ecoPHASERThe ecoPHASER is a highly efficient biomass gasification technology that uses a phase transition thermal sublimation reactor for the genera-tion of clean synthetic gas from biomass The process involves a front-end separation system that removes unwanted and recyclable materials from the feedstock for gasification rendering the process more efficient than other systems currently on the market
technologyThe ecoPHASER lsquos biomass-to- energy conversion process is a multi-stage system that comprises bio-gasification in a sub-stoichio-metric thermal sublimation primary chamber and second-stage syngas ignition using a high-temperature sonic standing wave pulse burner A closed-circuit heat extraction system of boilers and subsequent 2-phase cascading turbines are used generate clean electricity
plant designFeedstock volume requirements depend on feedstock type (MSW or monofuel) and its composition and specification variances which are used to determine thermal yield throughput volume efficiency and combustion gas quality Each plant requires a custom-designed system that mitigates any potential perfomance detractors

why gasifyGasification is a very different process from burn-ing or incineration which renders material to ash Incineration uses biomass as a fuel burning it with high volumes of air to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and heat In an incineration biomass-to-energy plant these hot gases are used to make steam that is used to generate electricity In the gasification process biomass is not a fuel but a feedstock for a chemical conversion process
Gasification is the high-temperature conversion of biomass into a synthesis gas which is ignited to generate heat and electricity This is a more environmentally-friendly process than incineration with negligeable greenhouse gas and particulate emissions and no toxin formation The gasification process reduces biomass volume by 98 leaving only 2 ash which - unlike incineration ash - can safely be used in commercial products
Pulse burner in Langley test facility
ecoPHASER processThe ecoPHASERrsquos biomass to energy conversion process is a multi-stage system comprising a bio-gasification generator and high-temperature sonic standing wave pulse burner This modular system with continuous 24-hour operational capacity can easily be scaled up to meet increased biomass influx or changes in local energy demand
Step 1 Biomass preparationBiomass is delivered to ecoPHASER cogeneration plant for energy extraction In the case of municipal solid waste biomass an effective front-end separation system initially removes recyclables and unwanted items including brick and stone
Operators manually discard large and unwanted items for custom stripping and salvage Any toxic
explosive or suspicious items are removed and dealt with appropri-ately
Two flail mills then blend the municipal solid waste The first mill reduces it to shards from which re-maining ferrous items are extracted for recycling A second mill further reduces the shards from which aluminum glass cement pottery
and brick are then removed
After all non-hydrocarbon content has been withdrawn the remaining combustible plastics and biomass are blended into a homogenous fuel using augur mixers before entering the energy conversion system In the case of mono-fuels the biomass is fed directly into the ecoPHASER system

Recycling by GleanersMany landfills in the Global South are home to families that scavenge for food and live off salvageable and recycleable items that are dumped on the sites each day
These families live in abject poverty and are exposed to harmful pollut-ants and excessive dust and noise ecoTECH projects safely employ these adults as gleaners offering a day care preschool and fair wages to help break the cycle of poverty
ecoPHASER process
1 Bio-gasificationIn the bio-gasification stage the biomass waste is fed into a thermal sublimation reactor which burns the solid fuel under starved air (sub-stoichiometric) conditions so that it releases a combustible gas mixture a syngas or producer gas This process reduces the volume of the biomass by 98 percent and produces a minimal 2 percent ash residue which can be used in con-crete products
2 Syngas ignitionNext a sonic standing wave-pulse burner adds a swirled vortex of pressurized air to burn the producer gas with a radiant flame This proc-ess ensures the complete burn-out of particulate matter and reaches temperatures that are sufficiently high to break down hydrocarbons and gases into elemental gases However it uniquely disrupts their recombination resulting in near zero nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide emissions
3 Heat extractionThe heat generated in the igni-tion process is extracted into the firebox a temperature-controlled thermal reservoir from where the heat (now without hot spots) is radiated evenly into the heat transfer chambers This heat extrac-tion system ndash through a corrosion resistant closed-circuit water boiler system with a superheater reheater and economizer ndash generates steam for the subsequent 2-phase power turbine generators
Step 2 Energy conversionThe ecoPHASER energy conversion process comprises solid-to-liquid-suspension (superheated steam) and solid-to-gas-phase reactors which are placed in arrays each fitted to a sonic pulse burner (ldquothe ecoPHASER systemrdquo)
Step 3 Power generationThe pressurized steam from the heat extraction system drives cascading turbines which in turn drive electricity generators converting steam into electrical energy for the power grid or other users Any residual steam is con-densed to water The water is filtered and treated for re-use

exceeds most stringent emissions standards
biomass energyBiomass is solar energy stored in plant material such as wood through photosynthesis Declining oil reserves growing environmental awareness and political issues surrounding fossil fuels have renewed the interest in and demand for our original source of energy
Biomass comes in many forms The type of biomass used globally for electricity generation varies by region and includes forest by-products such as wood residues agricultural waste (sugar cane or rice husks) purpose-grown energy crops and animal husbandry residues such as poultry litter and animal byproducts Biomass energy is also contained in municipal and industrial waste
sustainabilityEnergy particularly renewable energy is a priority for many countries around the world There are continuing dialogues related to peak oil global warming and politics affecting the secure supply of sustainable and environmen-tally responsible energy for future generations
Biomass including municipal solid waste is considered a renewable resource that produces sustainable energy The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has identified biomass-to-energy as an essential component of climate change mitigation strategies Biomass energy promotes a sustainable future for our planet
ecoPHASER and biomassThe ecoPHASER biomass-to-energy system has the capacity to extract energy from mono-fuels as well as varied waste streams Plant design varies accordingly
Mono-FuelThe ecoPHASER system extracts energy from forestry or agricultural residues (eg sugar cane) as well as purpose-grown king grass and other energy-dense crops
Municipal WasteThe ecoPHASER converts municipal solid waste into clean electricity after recycleables are salvaged for resale The system can also process industrial waste and medical waste

gasification technologyThe 12 MWehour ecoPHASER biomass-to-energy (B2E) combined heat and power (CHP) generation station converts biomass into electric power through gasification This technology is one of the most environmentally-friendly and efficient systems in todayrsquos waste management and electricity generation market The plant generates clean electricity with negligible greenhouse gas emissions with no airborne pollution and no ground contamination
gasificationGasification is a flexible and reliable clean energy technology that can turn various low-value feedstocks (including garbage) into high-value products It helps reduce depend-ence on (imported) oil and natural gas and offers a sustaclean alterna-tive source of baseload electricity fertilizers fuels and chemicals Gasification is a manufacturing process that recovers the energy that is contained in any carbon-based material including coal petcoke or biomass
waste managementIn addition to clean energy genera-tion gasification offers a complete and permanent waste management and disposal solution ecoPHASER sustainably reduces waste volumes by up to 98 yielding the remain-ing 2 in pozzolanic ash which can be used in concrete products
ecoPHASERThe ecoPHASER is a highly efficient biomass gasification technology that uses a phase transition thermal sublimation reactor for the genera-tion of clean synthetic gas from biomass The process involves a front-end separation system that removes unwanted and recyclable materials from the feedstock for gasification rendering the process more efficient than other systems currently on the market
technologyThe ecoPHASER lsquos biomass-to- energy conversion process is a multi-stage system that comprises bio-gasification in a sub-stoichio-metric thermal sublimation primary chamber and second-stage syngas ignition using a high-temperature sonic standing wave pulse burner A closed-circuit heat extraction system of boilers and subsequent 2-phase cascading turbines are used generate clean electricity
plant designFeedstock volume requirements depend on feedstock type (MSW or monofuel) and its composition and specification variances which are used to determine thermal yield throughput volume efficiency and combustion gas quality Each plant requires a custom-designed system that mitigates any potential perfomance detractors

why gasifyGasification is a very different process from burn-ing or incineration which renders material to ash Incineration uses biomass as a fuel burning it with high volumes of air to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and heat In an incineration biomass-to-energy plant these hot gases are used to make steam that is used to generate electricity In the gasification process biomass is not a fuel but a feedstock for a chemical conversion process
Gasification is the high-temperature conversion of biomass into a synthesis gas which is ignited to generate heat and electricity This is a more environmentally-friendly process than incineration with negligeable greenhouse gas and particulate emissions and no toxin formation The gasification process reduces biomass volume by 98 leaving only 2 ash which - unlike incineration ash - can safely be used in commercial products
Pulse burner in Langley test facility
ecoPHASER processThe ecoPHASERrsquos biomass to energy conversion process is a multi-stage system comprising a bio-gasification generator and high-temperature sonic standing wave pulse burner This modular system with continuous 24-hour operational capacity can easily be scaled up to meet increased biomass influx or changes in local energy demand
Step 1 Biomass preparationBiomass is delivered to ecoPHASER cogeneration plant for energy extraction In the case of municipal solid waste biomass an effective front-end separation system initially removes recyclables and unwanted items including brick and stone
Operators manually discard large and unwanted items for custom stripping and salvage Any toxic
explosive or suspicious items are removed and dealt with appropri-ately
Two flail mills then blend the municipal solid waste The first mill reduces it to shards from which re-maining ferrous items are extracted for recycling A second mill further reduces the shards from which aluminum glass cement pottery
and brick are then removed
After all non-hydrocarbon content has been withdrawn the remaining combustible plastics and biomass are blended into a homogenous fuel using augur mixers before entering the energy conversion system In the case of mono-fuels the biomass is fed directly into the ecoPHASER system

Recycling by GleanersMany landfills in the Global South are home to families that scavenge for food and live off salvageable and recycleable items that are dumped on the sites each day
These families live in abject poverty and are exposed to harmful pollut-ants and excessive dust and noise ecoTECH projects safely employ these adults as gleaners offering a day care preschool and fair wages to help break the cycle of poverty
ecoPHASER process
1 Bio-gasificationIn the bio-gasification stage the biomass waste is fed into a thermal sublimation reactor which burns the solid fuel under starved air (sub-stoichiometric) conditions so that it releases a combustible gas mixture a syngas or producer gas This process reduces the volume of the biomass by 98 percent and produces a minimal 2 percent ash residue which can be used in con-crete products
2 Syngas ignitionNext a sonic standing wave-pulse burner adds a swirled vortex of pressurized air to burn the producer gas with a radiant flame This proc-ess ensures the complete burn-out of particulate matter and reaches temperatures that are sufficiently high to break down hydrocarbons and gases into elemental gases However it uniquely disrupts their recombination resulting in near zero nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide emissions
3 Heat extractionThe heat generated in the igni-tion process is extracted into the firebox a temperature-controlled thermal reservoir from where the heat (now without hot spots) is radiated evenly into the heat transfer chambers This heat extrac-tion system ndash through a corrosion resistant closed-circuit water boiler system with a superheater reheater and economizer ndash generates steam for the subsequent 2-phase power turbine generators
Step 2 Energy conversionThe ecoPHASER energy conversion process comprises solid-to-liquid-suspension (superheated steam) and solid-to-gas-phase reactors which are placed in arrays each fitted to a sonic pulse burner (ldquothe ecoPHASER systemrdquo)
Step 3 Power generationThe pressurized steam from the heat extraction system drives cascading turbines which in turn drive electricity generators converting steam into electrical energy for the power grid or other users Any residual steam is con-densed to water The water is filtered and treated for re-use

ecoPHASER processThe ecoPHASERrsquos biomass to energy conversion process is a multi-stage system comprising a bio-gasification generator and high-temperature sonic standing wave pulse burner This modular system with continuous 24-hour operational capacity can easily be scaled up to meet increased biomass influx or changes in local energy demand
Step 1 Biomass preparationBiomass is delivered to ecoPHASER cogeneration plant for energy extraction In the case of municipal solid waste biomass an effective front-end separation system initially removes recyclables and unwanted items including brick and stone
Operators manually discard large and unwanted items for custom stripping and salvage Any toxic
explosive or suspicious items are removed and dealt with appropri-ately
Two flail mills then blend the municipal solid waste The first mill reduces it to shards from which re-maining ferrous items are extracted for recycling A second mill further reduces the shards from which aluminum glass cement pottery
and brick are then removed
After all non-hydrocarbon content has been withdrawn the remaining combustible plastics and biomass are blended into a homogenous fuel using augur mixers before entering the energy conversion system In the case of mono-fuels the biomass is fed directly into the ecoPHASER system

Recycling by GleanersMany landfills in the Global South are home to families that scavenge for food and live off salvageable and recycleable items that are dumped on the sites each day
These families live in abject poverty and are exposed to harmful pollut-ants and excessive dust and noise ecoTECH projects safely employ these adults as gleaners offering a day care preschool and fair wages to help break the cycle of poverty
ecoPHASER process
1 Bio-gasificationIn the bio-gasification stage the biomass waste is fed into a thermal sublimation reactor which burns the solid fuel under starved air (sub-stoichiometric) conditions so that it releases a combustible gas mixture a syngas or producer gas This process reduces the volume of the biomass by 98 percent and produces a minimal 2 percent ash residue which can be used in con-crete products
2 Syngas ignitionNext a sonic standing wave-pulse burner adds a swirled vortex of pressurized air to burn the producer gas with a radiant flame This proc-ess ensures the complete burn-out of particulate matter and reaches temperatures that are sufficiently high to break down hydrocarbons and gases into elemental gases However it uniquely disrupts their recombination resulting in near zero nitrous oxide and sulfur oxide emissions
3 Heat extractionThe heat generated in the igni-tion process is extracted into the firebox a temperature-controlled thermal reservoir from where the heat (now without hot spots) is radiated evenly into the heat transfer chambers This heat extrac-tion system ndash through a corrosion resistant closed-circuit water boiler system with a superheater reheater and economizer ndash generates steam for the subsequent 2-phase power turbine generators
Step 2 Energy conversionThe ecoPHASER energy conversion process comprises solid-to-liquid-suspension (superheated steam) and solid-to-gas-phase reactors which are placed in arrays each fitted to a sonic pulse burner (ldquothe ecoPHASER systemrdquo)
Step 3 Power generationThe pressurized steam from the heat extraction system drives cascading turbines which in turn drive electricity generators converting steam into electrical energy for the power grid or other users Any residual steam is con-densed to water The water is filtered and treated for re-use

Waste ManagementThe ecoPHASER process reduces biomass or garbage volumes by 98 Only 2 of waste introduced into the system emerges at the end of the process rendered to ash This ash can safely be used in concrete products
ecoPHASER lsquos conversion system can process biomass for 24 hours per day 7 days a week during a 30 to 40-year lifespan The recom-mended annual downtime for maintenance purposes is 24 days
Emissions PerformanceWith a hot clean gasification proc-ess that requires minimal secondary scrubbing ecoPHASER exceeds en-vironmental standards It is one of the cleanest systems on the market
Even fuel oxidation avoids silicon and clinker formation and dioxin and furans emissions The sonic burnerrsquos efficient particle burn-out results in negligeable particulate emissions ecoPHASERrsquos pulse burner eliminates nitrous oxide and noxious greenhouse gas emissions
Energy GenerationThe ecoPHASER system efficiently generates energy with low internal consumption needs Unlike most biomass fuel systems ecoPHASER was designed for economical energy production not simply waste volume reduction The pro-prietary conversion process ensures maximum extraction up to 85 of energy contained in biomass
Competing TechnologiesThe ecoPHASER system is uniquely effective and efficient in biomass-to-electricity One other gasification technology is comparably suitable for the purpose of generating bio-mass energy plasma gasification The ecoPHASER gasification system easily outperforms the best-in-class plasma gasification system in many regards including emissions levels and energy extraction
The ecoPHASER is one of the most environmentally-friendly and efficient systems in todayrsquos waste management and electricity generation market The proprietary technology and processes of the ecoPHASER Biomass-to-Energy system yield results and benefits that establish the ecoPHASER as a top performer in its class of biomass-to-energy through gasification Gasification technology is the most effective and suitable biomass-to-electricity technology currently available

carbon creditsA carbon credit is the tradable right to emit one tonne of CO2 or CO2 equivalent based on a carbon offset
To produce a credit 1 metric tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) or CO2 equivalent must be either removed avoided or sequestered
The ecoPHASER Biomass-to-Energy cogeneration plant qualifies forcarbon offsets as it avoids CO2 and other greenhouse gasses entering into the atmosphere as follows
bull avoids CO2 emissions com- pared to traditional fossil fuel- derived electricity
bull emits only egligible levels of of nitrous oxide (NOx) sulfur oxide (SOx) and particulate matter
bull avoids CO2 emissions of new production by salvaging useful materials for recycling
bull avoids methane emissions from anaerobic decomposi- tion of landfill (in the case of a municipal solid waste fuel source)
