The management of Municipal Solid Waste and the desperate |
Through this proprietary process, The WET System cap-tures
the most plentiful and valuable component of MSW – the
cellulose-based material. Once captured, the cellulose-based
material is converted into two distinct forms of clean and re
newable energy - high calorific fuel cubes and cellulose feed-
stock to be used in cellulosic ethanol production. A portion of the fuel cubes produced are utilized to produce steam and electricity, which allows The WET System facility to be self-sustaining, with little dependence on outside energy sources. The remaining fuel cubes are processed and used for external power generation through gasi-fication. The electricity that is produced is then distributed through the existing power grid. With the ever-increasing demand for ethanol, the market for cellulose feedstock for the production of ethanol is already well established. Cellulose feedstock produced by The WET System process is significantly less expensive than the cost of farm based cellulose feedstocks, allowing ethanol producers to be more competitive. |
