The Research Institute of Problems of Mechanics and Advanced Technologies has dedicated many years to the development of technological schemes and equipment for the deep processing of organic raw materials. This includes waste from various industries, household waste, medical waste, biologically hazardous drugs, as well as the processing of associated petroleum gas, brown coal, peat, and more.

Our proposed technologies, methods, and solutions are a result of further development of research conducted within the defense complex of the former USSR. This includes projects such as the disposal of organic waste from manned orbital flights, the disposal of rocket fuel, ammunition, and more.

At present, we are pleased to offer a range of integrated solutions for the deep processing of the following types of waste:

1. Solid household and municipal waste (MSW)

2. Worn-out car tires

3. Plastics (recovered from MSW and industrial waste)

4. RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) - an alternative fuel derived from waste. Currently, its intended use is prohibited throughout the European Union.

5. Wood processing waste of all types - from sawdust to substandard timber.

6. Used oils and oil washings

7. Agricultural waste, including straw, stems, leaves, livestock and poultry waste (manure, droppings, deceased animals, etc.).

The above-mentioned waste can be effectively recycled into the following:

1. Synthesis gas - a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can serve as a replacement for natural gas in various technological processes or as a fuel for energy and industrial applications.

2. Electricity - through the processing of the obtained synthesis gas in gas piston power plants.

3. High-quality synthetic hydrocarbons - such as motor fuels (Euro 5 diesel fuel, straight-run gasoline, marine fuel oil), paraffins, olefins, and more. These hydrocarbons are synthesized from the previously obtained synthesis gas.

4. Methanol - either in raw or rectified form, synthesized from the previously obtained synthesis gas.

The basic processing technology relies on the following steps:

1. Gasification of prepared raw materials using a transitional heat carrier (melts of alkali metal salts at temperatures ranging from 850-950°C) to produce synthesis gas (CO + H2).

2. Synthesis of liquid and solid hydrocarbons (SLH/STU) from the obtained synthesis gas through Fischer-Tropsch reactions using a liquid slurry catalyst. The composition of the synthesized products, such as synthetic motor fractions, paraffins, olefins, etc., can be customized based on customer requirements by adjusting catalysts and operating modes. The associated byproduct is pure carbon dioxide (CO2), which can be liquefied and sold or further processed.

3. Separation and processing of synthetic hydrocarbons into high-quality motor fuels, paraffins, benzenes, olefins, etc., as per customer discretion.

4. Synthesis of high-quality rectified methanol from the obtained synthesis gas (or raw methanol, based on customer preferences). The methanol synthesis process is practically waste-free and does not produce by-products like carbon dioxide and water, unlike Fischer-Tropsch LCL/STU synthesis where a significant portion of the substance in the synthesis gas is converted into carbon dioxide and water.

5. Optionally, syngas can be used as fuel for gas piston or gas turbine power plants to generate electricity.

The main advantages of our proposed technologies include:

1. 100% utilization of input raw materials.

2. Environmentally friendly processes with harmful emissions within permissible limits or completely absent, such as dioxins, furans, and mercaptans.

3. Rapid project recoupment with payback periods ranging from 0.5 to 2.5 years, depending on

 capacity and configuration.

4. Average complex lifespan until full depreciation is 15 years.

5. Modular design of the complex with equipment based on support frames, facilitating easy dismantling for repairs and adjustments.

6. Continuous round-the-clock operation.

7. Mobile versions of the complexes can be produced, eliminating the need for capital construction. The equipment is mounted in specially modified 40-foot shipping containers.

To support the technological process, electricity and process water are required.

A group of developers is looking for an interested investor in the production of equipment based on the above technology. There are interested organizations in Europe who are concerned about air emissions from incinerator activities. Therefore, negotiations are now underway with interested organizations for the production of a small line for processing waste into methanol.
