What are the usable forms of energy and other outputs produced from EDCI's W2E conversion process?
Syngas (CO+H) from gasification.
Electricity and pure water resulting from combustion in gas turbines.
Synthetic carbon-based fuels from the slurry reactors (e.g. sulfur-free diesel, petrol and jet fuels).
Inorganic residue, some of which has scrap value, and some of which can be made into a strong, superior building material similar to concrete.

Additional Advantages of EDCI’s W2E Solutions:
No air, ground and water pollution from the process. Using a "closed" system, combined with the cloverleaf engine and efficient turbines, the EDCI process provides a pollution-free system three times more efficient than any competitor's.
Less need for land-filling. Doesn't require land that can be used for other purposes.
Less dependence on fossil fuels.
Facilities will create employment stimulus to support the biofuel industry.
Great potential for green energy tax credits and fiscal incentives.
The ability to gasify multiple waste streams concurrently after automated removal of metals, rocks and glass (allowed by a proprietary formulation process prior to gasification).
A self-cleaning mechanism saves shut-down time for cleaning.
Modular engineering, built-in redundancy of key modules, and common maintenance and replacement parts limit down-time and help to maintain an energy production capacity of nearly 100%.
Electricity and carbon-based fuels (i.e. diesel, petrol, and jet fuel) are produced at a cost below current market value, and can be generated in different proportions at different times, depending on specific energy needs.
The Market for EDCI W2E Solutions:
There is an enormous global market for environmentally sound renewable energy solutions. The existing Phase I technologies...
Have been proven
Are permissible (international, state and local permits are obtainable)
Can be marketed and fabricated NOW!
Emerging Phase II technologies with even greater efficiencies are currently in development, ensuring that EDCI will continue to define the cutting edge in W2E standards.
