The main technology – ECOCYCLING
What is ECOCYCLING?
Ecocycling is a Patented chemical-physical process during which, through the introduction of certain minerals and chemical additives, organic and inorganic waste materials are irreversibly transformed into an environmentally friendly raw material. This raw material, in turn, can be used in a variety of new materials or introduced into existing processes such as, fabrication of ecological concrete products
Types of Waste
The ECOCYCLING process can be used to convert various waste mixtures – the feedstock composition does not make too much difference. Everything from household and commercial waste, municipal sewage, sludge, certain ashes, contaminated soils, waste containing heavy metal or oil-contaminates, slurry, cesspits and other wastes can be used in one of various predefined recipes. The ECOCYCLING process can even be used on excavated landfill waste. Tires and reinforced concrete are excluded from the processing whilst scrap metal, like cans and small ferrous/non-ferrous objects, is extracted.
The ECOCYCLING – process works without external heating, a.k.a combustion, and thus does not produce any exhaust gas. It also doesn’t produce any other by-products. It uses, other than the waste-mixture as a raw feedstock material, several specific additives (e. g. minerals or chemical substances).
· The process produces a specified target product, some heat, resulting from an exothermic reaction, and steam, resulting from the friction while grinding.
· The process is fully automated! During the process, all the waste materials are “attacked”, utilizing appropriate chemical reaction chains and are transformed into the target material.
· Gaseous and/or liquid materials mut be solidified and then treated.
· Heavy metal molecules are stored in the crystallized structure of the newly created minerals and/or chemically bound to the adequate molecules and thus immobilized.
When the process is completed, what remains is an environmentally-friendly product that can be stored or transported without having any second thoughts. The product can be used for the specified industrial target process, e.g. as a raw material for applications in a wood fibre board, agriculture, or construction industry. Even conservative estimates calculate the medium-term implementation at several million tons. And what is particularly important, is that the result of the irreversible transformation process is a new product and not just another waste form.
