Compaction of Containers and Bulky WasteStreams for Liquids Removal and Energy Applications

The revolution compactor dramatically reduces the liquid content of waste streams and achieves incredible compaction ratios that highly reduses transportation costs. It offers:

• 98% reduction in liquid content
• compaction ratios up to 60 to 1!
• secure product destruction

The revolution compactor is a waste processing solution that can be used in the following ways shown in the diagram below:

The Revolution Compactors are available in a range of sizes and throughputs designed for specific applications. The technology utilizes a unique advanced screw-auger technology, developed in the early 1990’s. It has achieved compaction ratios of up to 60:1 and over 99 per cent liquid removal with lighter waste streams. The processing of dense materials such as wet brewer’s grain has achieved up to 80 per cent removal of all liquids (i.e. except intracellular water) without thermal drying.

The diagram below shows the four models available and includes their specifications and options:

The compaction technology specializes in removing liquids from containers and densifying the residual packaging into volumes that can maximize shipping loads. This greatly reduces liquids going to landfill; maximizes the amount of dry material on each truck; and, because of the reduced need for trucking, dramatically reduces carbon emissions and highway congestion.

       

       

The next phase of growth for this technology is to co-develop a large machine that will compact municipal waste in a containable manner, so that it can be transported more cost-effectively and stored for subsequent processing into engineered fuels. The development of large-scale equipment will also provide a cost-effective means of dewatering wet residues from the brewing and distilling industries. This process can be coupled with the EEC anaerobic digestion technology that turns protein in wet waste grain into usable biogas. The biogas is used as a fuel to produce heat and electricity.
