CCean Earth Energy ~fawaii - ~fiCo, ~L~ <br /> Sustaina6Ce Inteerate~f `Waste to Energy ~Fa~ties <br /> <br /> SIWEF Description <br /> General Description <br /> Clean Earth Energy Hawaii-Hilo LLC has developed a patented and advanced biochemical system for <br /> converting waste to energy called a Sustainable Integrated Waste Energy Facility (SIWEF). The state-of--art <br /> processes inherent in this facility are uniquely integrated to synergrze energy production and eliminate <br /> pollution. At the core of the system are an advanced design landfill and a unique Advanced Chemical <br /> Reforming Reactor utilized to produce low cost clean synthetic gas, which is easily converted to electrical <br /> power or high grade transportation fuel. The system revolutionizes current waste management practices. The <br /> development of a SIWEF, as described, provides substantial benefit to the island of Hawaii and its residents <br /> and is anon-incineration environmentally acceptable technology. <br /> The SIWEF facility is aone-stop-shop for processing waste in a clean and zero emission environment. <br /> Municipal and industrial solid waste, contaminated soil and a variety of biomass sources are received at the <br /> facility. Recyclable materials of value and detrimental hazardous materials are fast removed from the waste <br /> stream. The remaining waste is then compacted, bailed and packaged into large sealed plastic boxes <br /> retrofitted with input and output ports. These boxes are stacked in arrays and "fanned" under anaerobic <br /> conditions to produce landfill gas. Gas production is enhanced in the sealed blocks by the introduction of <br /> microbes and nutrient broth through the input port. Landfill gas is then extracted through the output port of <br /> the block. This method of landfill gas production is three times as effective as current measures. Collected <br /> landfill gas is cleaned and separated by a unique process. Gas impurities and wastewater are pumped back to <br /> the landfill block to facilitate anaerobic growth. Methane is directly combusted to produce electrical power or <br /> is reformed in the Advanced Chemical Reformer reactor to produce other high energy gases such as <br /> hydrogen Carbon dioxide is also reformed in the advanced chemical reforming reactor with methane and/or <br /> biologically converted in a separate high pressure and temperature bioreactor to methane. <br /> An advanced chemical reforming reactor utilizing the free energy produced from the reaction of alkaline <br /> metals and hydroxides is constructed to convert methane (produced as described above) and other <br /> carbonatious biomass fom~rs into hydrogen and carbon monoxide. This conversion increases the production <br /> capability of the landfill gas by a factor of five. Outputs from the reactor include hydrogen, carbon monoxide <br /> and impurities. Output gas products are cleaned and separated as required. Trace gas impurities are returned <br /> to the landfill blocks for anaerobic conditions enhancement. Hydrogen and carbon monoxide represent <br /> synthetic gas. This synthetic gas can also be combusted to produce electrical power (with five times the <br /> capability as methane). Alternatively, in a ration of 2:1 (hydrogen to carbon monoxide), the synthetic gas can <br /> be converted to a high grade, clean transportation grade fuel (dodecane -diesel, or heptane -gasoline). This <br /> fuel has higher octane and is cleaner than the fuel currently in use. <br /> S/WEF Technka/ Proposd <br /> Canjidertfa/ 4 <br /> <br />
