BIOZIMMI combines the gasifiers’ cost-effectiveness with the disposal total efficiency of plasma technology.
Our gasifiers have been developed in collaboration with the RINA Consulting - Centro Sviluppo Materiali spa, a subsidiary of RINA Group. Within the plasma torch we apply the American-made hybrid electrodes that have been used for over 50 years everywhere in the world. Or we can use an Italian-made electrode at the end of the gasifiers to complete the inertization of the ash.
Sustainable and successful treatment of MSW must be safe, effective, and environmentally friendly. BIOZIMMI was thought to solve the two main drawbacks of traditional landfills: surrounding areas of are often heavily polluted since it is difficult to keep dangerous chemicals from leaching out into the surrounding land and that any landfill can increase chances of global warming by releasing CH4, which is 20 times more dangerous as a greenhouse gas than CO2. Therefore, we find a more environmentally friendly alternative to treat MSW.
The gasifiers take advantage of the molecular dissociation, called pyrolysis, used to directly convert the organic materials present in the waste into gas, by heating, in the presence of small quantities of oxygen.
The processed materials are completely destroyed because their molecules are dissociated. The synthesis gas, even when of a low calorific value, once filtered and purified, can be used for the feeding of a cogenerator, thus enhancing the calorific value of the organic matrix used and can be contain costs simultaneously producing electrical and thermal energy, or it can be used for the production of reusable chemicals.
Moreover, it is possible to get practically pure water, thermal energy, methanol and DME.
