Transforming Waste into Sustainable Solutions
Efficient management of Urban Solid Waste (MSW) and Industrial Solid Waste (ISW) is essential to protect the environment, preserve natural resources, and improve quality of life. With innovative technology and processes, it’s possible to transform challenges into opportunities, promoting sustainability, a circular economy, and a cleaner future for all.
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) & Industrial Solid Waste (ISW)
-
Brazil generates approximately 75 million tons of MSW per year.
-
Improper management of this waste can generate significant environmental, social, and economic impacts.
-
Efficient management involves selective collection, recycling, composting, and proper final disposal.
Wastewater is generated by production and industrial activities and can be hazardous or non-hazardous, depending on its composition.
Efficient management of this waste is essential to minimize environmental impacts, reduce costs, and comply with current legal regulations.
Global MSW Panorama
Global MSW production is estimated to increase dramatically, with total generation estimated at up to 140 million annually by 2050.
Management Challenges:
Inadequate MSW management has negative impacts on public health, the environment, and the economy.
Panorama in Brazil
In Brazil, MSW management is the responsibility of municipalities that hire companies to collect, transport and dispose of the waste.
Destination:
Most of the MSW collected in Brazil is still sent to landfills, with a significant percentage going to inadequate disposal areas.
Challenges:
Brazil faces challenges such as the lack of adequate infrastructure, informality in the recycling sector, and the need for investment in MSW treatment technologies.
National Solid Waste Policy (LAW 12,305/2010-ART9 °51°)
The PNRS seeks to transform the way solid waste is managed in Brazil, prioritizing prevention, reduction, reuse and recycling and seeking environmentally appropriate final disposal, with a focus on sustainability.
Technical Requirements and Investment
Technology
Through molecular fusion in a mechanical attrition process, we transform MSW/RSI into an industrial biosynthetic compound (IBSC).
IBSC is characterized by a thermodynamic process of molecular fusion, transforming the entire universe of waste—synthetic and non-synthetic (organic, inorganic, and recyclable)—especially dirty and contaminated waste. This product is considered an excellent solid fuel. Compared to MSW, IBSC undergoes a 50% reduction in volume and an increase in calorific value, which can reach a PCI of 5,400.
Process Steps
Phase 1: MSW Reception;
Phase 2: Shredder;
Phase 3: Separation;
Phase 4: Metal capture by magnetic conveyor belt;
Phase 5: Grinding;
Phase 6: Dryer/Decontaminator – dries, removes ammonia, and converts mercury to liquid.
Phase 7: A reactor uses a mechanical friction process to transform the already dried material into a dry, granular, inert powder, known as CBSI.
Phase 8: After this transformation, the CBSI undergoes a cooling process and is then transferred to the storage silo.
