Technology
Our patented technology processes, recycles, and transforms virtually any waste
InEnTec's PEM system
Transforming biomass, hazardous waste, industrial non-hazardous waste, medical waste, and municipal solid waste by breaking down its molecules into elemental building blocks.
Unlike other gasifiers, PEM technology economically recovers the value from waste without combustion or incineration. We achieve this by passing materials through a system that consists of a plasma arc generated over a molten glass bath to rearrange the atoms of virtually any organic waste into syngas.
Creating green building materials and other industrial products
Produces syngas and recycled products
We have built a highly-commercial system with the flexibility to produce a wide range of products derived from syngas.
Syngas is used to produce chemical and fuel products such as ethanol, methanol, or hydrogen; the building blocks for environmentally responsible, renewable fuels and energy.
The solids left behind are metals and environmentally-friendly vitrified glass (Synglass™), which may be
used to create green building materials and other
industrial products.
Vitrified glass or Synglass™ is a non-leachable glass that can safely contain any inorganic waste not processed through the system, so it can be disposed safely or can
be transformed into other products such as sandblast
and/or aggregates.
PFAS
InEnTec’s technology is suitable to process PFAS and residues from legacy technologies that process and capture PFAS
-
Higher temperatures than any competitive technology, up to10,000 °C
-
PFAS concentrations from Ion Exchange Resins, Granular Activated Carbon and/or Reverse Osmosis can be broken into their basic elements and, in some cases, chemicals may be recycled
-
Any byproducts would be recycled or disposed without leaching into the environment
-
No ash generation
InEnTec has conducted test processing PFAS at its pilot plant with favorable results.
Additional tests are scheduled in the weeks to come
InEnTec Facilities - Case studies
InEnTec Columbia Ridge Facility
Case study: Waste-to-hydrogen facility
InEnTec Columbia Ridge's Model G100P PEM system, located at Waste Management landfill in Arlington Oregon, converts MSW, hazardous and medical waste streams into ultra-clean syngas, for further production of renewable hydrogen.
The facility is a first-of-its-kind waste-to-hydrogen facility that:
-
Produces 1500 kg per day of
renewable hydrogen.
-
Processes 25 tons per day of various solid and liquid feedstock.
-
Provides merchant hydrogen gas for sale in
to the US Pacific Northwest.
Fuji Kaihatsu Limited
Case study: Adaptable feedstocks
InEnTec sold a Model G300 PEM to our
clients Fuji Kaihatsu Ltd for processing wood
and plastic waste, using the syngas to produce clean electricity.
The facility began operation in 2002, however when Fuji’s business needs changed, they were able to easily adapt their PEM system to process electronic waste in order to extract precious metals such as gold and copper.
