It being understood that could be possible opt for a mix of productions, in BIOZIMMI electricity is the simplest production to obtain; the system will be schematically composed as follows:
Waste reception -> Gasification-> plasma inertization-> electricity generation
Even thermal energy can be transformed into electricity through the From Heat to Energy system:
Waste reception -> Gasification-> plasma inertization-> thermal energy production -> from heat to energy
From organic matrices it is possible to obtain methane gas; the system will be schematically composed as follows:
Waste reception -> Gasification-> Plasma inertization-> ZEB -> Liquefaction System -> Gas packing
The syngas produced is purified by the ZEB which eliminates any other gas bringing the percentage of carbon dioxide present below 50 parts per million. It can be wrapped up or placed on the network. By way of example, one ton of matrix can produce up to 1,200 kg of syngas; once purified, about 650kg of syngas remain that can be packed and used commercially. From the organic matrices a syngas is also obtained which, washed and treated, can lead to the synthesis of methanol using the ZEB; the system will be schematically composed as follows:
Waste reception -> Gasification-> plasma inertization-> ZEB -> methanol
Starting from methanol, shall be possible to produce biodiesel; the system will be schematically composed as follows:
Waste reception -> Gasification-> Plasma inertization-> ZEB -> Biodiesel
Therefore, syngas is obtained from waste (gasifiers and plasma torches), methanol is obtained from syngas using the ZEB, transesterification starts from a module of this subsystem, leading to the production of biodiesel by adding exhausted vegetable oils to methanol.
Biodiesel can be used 100% pure (B100) or mixed with diesel in varying percentages.
Avio fuel or DME production can also be obtained from methanol; the system will be schematically composed as follows:
Waste reception -> Gasifier -> plasma inertization-> ZEB -> DME/Avio fuel
The syngas produced is polymerized taking the form of fuels with characteristics of avio fuel. The yield in this case will be lower (from 1/7 to 1/10 of the hypothesized production for methanol) but aviation gasoline can be sold at an extremely attractive price.
