The Biosphere Process™ System: 5 Stages
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
 Stage One: Material is collected and brought to a centralized Biosphere Process™ facility, where recycling of the material collected occurs. |
 Stage Two: The System typically operates at a rate of 30Tons/hour during peak operating hours (9am through 4:30pm) avoiding truck movements and MSW delivery at night or after hours. Each receiving line operates at 30T/hr; one receiving line operating at 80% capacity will process sufficient MSW to power a system for a 24-hour period |
 Stage Three: In stage three of the process, all other residual material, as per agreed specifications with the client, in the waste stream is forced through a Biosphere Densifier™, which compacts the MSW into 20g flakes with 15-20% moisture termed Biosphere Flakes at the rate of 30Tons/hour, these flakes drive the Biosphere Process™ |
 Stage Four: In stage four the Biosphere Flakes are converted into a 1000°C – 1800°C flux using a Biosphere Venturi™. The process is designed to produce a high value inert pozzolanic ash, which is then recycled into concrete products for the building industry, thus ensuring 100% recycling of all MSW handled through the Biosphere Process™ completely replacing traditional land filling as a method of waste disposal |
 Stage Five: In stage five of the process the 2100°C / 3812°F flux produced in stage four is used to produce steam, powering a steam turbine for Micro Power Generation, a by-product of electricity production is desalination, water purification |
