Case Study
Commercial Waste-To-Energy Plant
Problem: The city of Lebanon, Tennessee, wanted to nd a new way of waste disposal that would eliminate land ll trips and expenses and improve its sustainability footprint. Approach: Aries Clean Energy developed the ACE DDLF-2000 (64T/day) downdraft gasi cation system on one acre in Lebanon, Tennessee, that operates on the following speci cations: Input Materials: Waste wood is cut to 1- to 3-inch size; sludge is blended with wood before gasi cation. Process: Syngas produced (85% by volume input) is combusted in an industrial thermal oxidizer (an emissions control device). Thermal energy is transferred to heat water, which drives three Organic Rankine Cylinder generators with a total output capacity of 420 Kw per day that o sets the electrical usage at the wastewater treatment plant next d
