Q1 What is gasification and melting?

Gasification and melting is a solid waste treatment system that involves the pyrolysis of waste, which generates combustible gas and incombustible materials. High-temperature combustion then melts the ash contained in the waste. Thus, combustion and melting takes place using the energy of the waste itself.

Pyrolysis is heating in a low-oxygen ambient atmosphere to chemically decompose the waste into incombustible materials and combustible materials, which are further decomposed into combustible gases such as hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen.

Features

• High-temperature combustion controls emissions of dioxins and other harmful substances
• Low air ratio produces low volume of exhaust gas
• Recycling of the molten slag and metals reduces final landfill volume
• High energy recovery efficiency is achieved.
