W2 Energy's 4 Ton per Day Plant Eliminates Tires and Creates Energy |
TORONTO, March 25, 2009. W2 Energy Inc., a developer of green energy, is pleased to announce that it has a technological solution to one of the world’s more troubling environmental problems – old tires.
W2 Energy, in collaboration with R&J Howell, will be deploying one 4 ton per day tire-to-energy plant in three separate countries. Each of these three plants will be tasked to turn old tires into diesel fuel and electricity.
“Each one of our 4 ton per day mass-to-energy plants can get rid of 4 million tires a year,” says Mike McLaren, CEO of W2 Energy. “Then we turn the tires into diesel fuel and electricity – all without any carbon dioxide emissions.”
Inside W2 Energy’s 4 ton per day mass-to-energy plant, W2 Energy’s proprietary, low-temperature gasifier converts the tires into syngas – a mixture of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and other byproducts. The filtration section of the plant removes sulfur, hydrogen chloride, and other non-fuel components of the syngas. The syngas travels to the proprietary gas-to-liquid reactor, which converts the syngas directly into 72 cetane ultra low sulfur diesel. The heat in the syngas is converted into electricity using the W2 Energy’s Steam Ray steam engine.
“The diesel that our plant generates is so pure and clean-burning, it can be used as a fuel additive,” says McLaren. “We are disposing of waste, and creating the electricity and the highest quality liquid fuel. These tire-to-energy plants continue W2 Energy’s mission of doing good business while doing good things for the planet.”
