The RODECS ® System
The RODECS® system is the world's only Industrial universal gasification system. The system could process universally any type of waste material without the need for any type of pre-processing. The RODECS® system is protected by multiple patents granted worldwide.
The RODECS® System has been in operation since year 2000 in industrial plants processing a wide range of material and operating continuously. The system design, features, capability, and capacity have evolved over the years from its Generation One limited design with a small production capability (2 cubic meter processing bin) to the much more advanced Generation Seven with expanded production capacity (22 Cubic meter processing bin) installed and being installed in four different sites through the US and Europe. Chinook is in the process of unveiling the most up to date Generation Eight, which will hold a 50 cubic meter processing bin - capable of processing 50,000 tons of waste material per year. The RODECS® System is currently being used in nine countries in four continents.
The RODECS® Line, composed of two RODECS® systems is scalable in design, stackable and expandable; yielding tremendous flexibility to users demands and needs. The minimum annual production is currently designed to process 100,000 tons of organic-based waste per year.
The RODECS Process
A combination of simplicity in operation, and sturdy industrial design is the hallmark of the RODECS® system. The system is designed to operate in the very harsh foundry environment. The single unique design and inventive step in the RODECS® system is the ability to incorporate the ACTIVE PYROLYSIS® concept within its patented design, instrumentation, program, and operation. The combined Active Pyrolysis concept and RODECS® design enabled the RODECS® to accept any type or shape of organic-waste and process it with unsurpassed efficiency in operation and in compliance with emissions without any pre-processing step.
Standard loading and unloading foundry equipment are used to interface with the RODECS® system, the system operates under a very strict atmosphere.
The RODECS® processing chamber operates in a fully controlled atmosphere. All aspects of the processing chamber atmosphere is monitored very closely and controlled very strictly at all times. The processing chamber operating temperature range is [450° C - 600° C] depending on the waste material being processed. This temperature ensures that the non-ferrous metal is fully preserved and not being oxidized. Furthermore, this temperature ensures that no molten metal, molten glass, or any type of slag is formed or produced inside the process chamber. The synthetic gas generated from the gasification process is further heated and conditioned in the reformer at a specially controlled atmosphere and with a temperature range of [1200° C - 1400° C]. Hence all harmful substances that could be destroyed thermally are treated thoroughly and appropriately.
The produced ultra-clean synthetic gas is treated according to the off take requirements, if the steam is required, then the synthetic gas is fully combusted, and the heat is used to generate the steam in the boiler. If the liquid alcohol is the target product, then the synthetic gas is further scrubbed, cleaned, conditioned, and stored prior to entering the Alcohol synthesis loop.
