Because we have temperatures of under 280°C centigrade, we don´t produce any of the Most toxic products like dioxins and furans. The main product we can produce with the BML--‐Plants is high quality Diesel fuel, which conforms to the European Diesel Norm EN 590 and can be used directly in all diesel engines. Also when we use biomass as input material we get synthetic diesel fuel, which conforms to EN 590 (no biodiesel!) Byproducts are distilled water, Co2, salt (mineral salt when you use biological residues) and ash (from the inorganic of the input material). + www.greenalliance.eu The process The process consists of the following steps: 1.Mixing, crushing, dehydrating (squeezing) the biomass 2.High-pressure compression and grinding of the biomass in an oxygen-free atmosphere 3.Mixing with a cheap and reusable catalyst, mainly a special prepared aluminumoxide, Al2O3 4.Introduction of the material in the kiln by an off-center screw. 5.Chemical-catalytical conversion (depolymerisation) in the kiln at temperatures of about 320 to 380 °C in an oxygen-free atmosphere to Diesel oil 6.Distillation of the produced oils in a distillation column and separation from water, char and some dust of the catalyst powder. 7.Use of produced gas and up to 10 % of oil in a CHP-facility for the production of heat and electricity for the supply of the whole plant 8.Storage of the oil in a tank for sale 9.Option: cogeneration of electricity and heat. + Plant in Spain This commercial plant was built in 2013/14 in Albacete, Spain. • Input material: Old tires, approx. 800 kg/h • Capacity: approx. 20 tons per day (about 7000 tons/a • Output: 50-55 % Diesel, 20 to 22 % Gas (used for CHP), 3-8 % Char, 6-10 % steel wire braiding from tires, 8-10 % aromatics • Efficiency: > 80 % • CHP: 450 kW • Licenses cost • Buildings for storage material etc, • Installation cost • Travel expenses for 3 supervising engineers and technicians • Hotel and lounge expenses • Supervising cost + Spain BML process – 2x6500 t/y Synthetic diesel production based on plastic & used car tires. + www.greenalliance.eu BML Synthetic Diesel production from MSW Case: MSW recycling Tarragona center Alliance Ventures Ltd.
