Abstract

A system and method for recovering high-quality biomethane (RNG) from biogas sources is provided. The gas stream is compressed and liquids are separated from the gas stream at elevated pressure and reduced temperature. The compressing is performed using a plurality of compressors operating in parallel with common control set points. The system and method improve upon conventional practices and yield a biomethane product which meets strict gas pipeline quality specifications. Additionally, the system and method are an improvement to the overall methane recovery' efficiency for biogas processing facilities.

Abstract

A system and method for recovering high-quality biomethane (RNG) from biogas sources are provided. The system and method improve upon conventional practices and yield a biomethane product which meets strict gas pipeline quality specifications. An online sample is captured of a gas stream in near real-time at a pressure swing adsorption vessel, and the online sample is analyzed to detect the presence of one or more targeted products such as CH4, CO2 or N2. The system and method are an improvement to the overall methane recovery efficiency for biogas processing facilities, specifically with regard to PSA control to prevent over or under saturation of the PSA media.

Abstract

A system and process for sorting and recovery of recyclable materials, and in particular, sorting and recovery of recyclable materials from mixed waste comprising municipal solid waste in a materials recovery facility or “MRF” are provided. Advanced technology and machinery are integrated into a multi-step system and process that are designed to treat contaminated MSW streams to meet or exceed minimum material quality specifications while also reducing and minimizing headcount of sorter personnel. Because the mix of materials in MSW can be so varied and unpredictable, the system and process are designed to effectively sort and recover desired materials from MSW streams having a variety of material compositions.

Abstract

Various illustrative embodiments of a system and process for recovering high-quality biomethane and carbon dioxide product streams from biogas sources and utilizing or sequestering the product streams are provided. The system and process synergistically yield a biomethane product which meets gas pipeline quality specifications and a carbon dioxide product of a quality and form that allows for its transport and sequestration or utilization and reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The system and process result in improved access to gas pipelines for products, an improvement in the carbon intensity rating of the methane fuel, and improvements in generation of credits related to reductions in emissions of greenhouse gases.

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments of a system for managing waste materials and tracking the portion of received recyclable materials that are recycled and/or monetized. The disclosed system may include smart balers; imaging devices, such as cameras or video cameras; barcode, QR, RFID or other near field scanners; and one or more processors operably connected to these devices. A processor is typically configured to determine what portion of incoming materials may be recyclable and/or what portion of those incoming recyclable materials are recycled and/or monetized. The processor may also be configured to generate and visualize reports relating to the waste management process including generating a single index number of the capture percentage rate.

Abstract

A smart baling apparatus for baling materials. The apparatus allows for automatic data gathering from the baling devices or scales via integrated computer processors and sensors, such sensors including at least one digital camera. Additionally, the baling apparatus comprises an input device and at least one label printer capable of communicating with the integrated computer processors. During the baling process, the weight of the completed bale is recorded and sent to a remote database in communication with the processor. By centralizing all of the data in a single point or database, such as a cloud database, a coordinated and detailed analysis of all recyclable materials for a given enterprise can be created and maintained with relatively little human input.

Abstract

Disclosed are embodiments that relate to apparatus for compacting materials. The apparatus comprising a mechanical linkage designed to be mounted within the interior of an existing waste receptacle, a compression surface operably connected to the mechanical linkage, and a motor operably connected to the mechanical linkage, wherein the motor is capable of extending and retracting the mechanical linkage, thereby lowering and raising the compression plate. Some embodiments will take advantage of integrated sensors and processors in order to capture and analyze large amounts of data related to the compactor operations. This data may lead to refinements and greater efficiency in the waste disposal processes.
