W2E Mechanical Waste To Energy Plant (W2EP)
Trenton Green is a renewable energy company that is committed to sustainable, cleaner energy products.
Garbage is available in abundance everywhere in Nigeria. Nigeria produces about ……. tons of trash every year, of which more than 90% is being used as landfill at non-sanitary dump sites. If we use this locally available waste to produce electricity, it will reduce the economic impact of these hard times on our citizenry and it will also help to mitigate the environmental impact that refuse disposal causes. Once upon a time garbage and its disposal were perceived as a nuisance but now, that “nuisance” has become a fuel for electric power generation.
W2E Mechanical Power Plant:
The Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plant is a simple pre-engineered plant with factory-fabricated, 10-foot by 40-foot container-size modules. It was designed for the peculiarities of Nigeria and the need to solve the problems of waste disposal and power generation right now.
Our engineering team consisting of Nigerians in the diaspora, as well as a few UK and USA collaborators have worked together to manufacture a small-scale model of the Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plant that operates with a stream engine and a smoke filtration and purification system. This demonstration model prototype is available in Lagos for your inspection and assessment at your leisure.
The mechanical structure of the W2E plant is based on a steam engine design where waste is burned in a large incinerator with a boiler to produce steam, the steam is used to power an electric generator turbine and the generator turbine produces electricity. The Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plants is easy to run because of the locally made spares and a 97% Nigerian workforce and, it will be easy to maintain. The only sophisticated components in the set-up would be the prepaid meters, to enable electricity subscribers to pay for access to a steady and affordable power supply.
The Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plant shall burn the waste and the saturated and superheated steam will feed the steam turbine-generator set, which in turn sends the heat and pressure of the steam through a rotating turbine, and out comes the electricity. And the ash that remains from the burnt refuse combustion process, will be dispatched to the landfill site, its mass having been reduced to …% of its former size.
Thus, this solution being offered by Trenton Green improves people’s health, general living conditions and our nation’s universal well-being by keeping it clean, safe, healthy and energy efficient.
Benefits of the Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plant:
-
It constitutes a cheaper alternative to expensive garbage removal and disposal, as it decreases the volume of solid waste destined for landfills and at the same time recovers energy from the waste burning process.
-
It can facilitate the recycling and reuse of some discarded items.
-
It will create renewable electricity production constantly, making it a more reliable source of energy than that gained from wind, solar power or the national grid.
Other Business Opportuniities:
-
Will receive income from customers after the electricity generated from the waste is sold to them.
-
In some instances, waste-to-energy plants may typically collect a tipping fee from the independent contractors that drop the waste off daily to recover costs.
-
Will earn additional revenue from the sale of both ferrous (iron) and non-ferrous scrap metal collected from the post-combusted ash stream.
-
Will sell the ash residue from the furnace which can be processed for use in road construction or cement manufacturing.
Our Projections:
We at Trenton Green REC believe that we shall be capable of converting burning waste to clean electrical energy for over 100,000 homes within an area of …… square kilometer area.
The Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plant solution is projected to be able to sell electricity at a price 40% – 50% more cost-effective than the current power public provider and at a far more dependable rate.
Depending on the composition, and so the calorific value of the waste, the incineration capacity of the Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plant will vary between five and seven tons an hour.
Nigerian garbage is usually a mixture of energy-rich materials such as paper, plastics, food waste, and disposed of wood. For every 50 kg of waste in Nigeria, about 40 kg can be burned as fuel to generate electricity. the Trenton Green W2E Mechanical Power Plant will reduce approximately 100 kg of garbage to ash that weighs between 150 kilograms and pounds and 300 kilograms, and they reduce the volume of waste by about 87%.
A typical waste-to-energy plant generates about 550 kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy per ton of waste.
