Pyrolosis Waste Disposal System (PWDS)
Abstract
The PWDS is a containerized solid waste disposal system with energy reclamation that utilizes pyrolysis technology (low oxygen thermal destruction) to process several waste streams that include plastic, cardboard, paper, metal cans, medical and sanitary, liquid oil, sewage sludge and food waste in a single waste management machine. Key benefits of pyrolysis over competing technologies include that it requires very little input to operate, has the ability to export energy, and requires minimal water to cool the system. This program will transition the system into production to procure the PWDS for the Army's Force Provider base camp systems.
