Comprehensive processing systems employ sophisticated front-end sorting technology to recover commodities with value for resale or reuse.KOMPOFERM® DRY FERMENTATION ANAEROBIC DIGESTIONZWE holds the exclusive license for the KOMPOFERM dry anaerobic digestion system, developed by our German partner, Eggersmann Anlagenbau. Our patented KOMPOFERM dry anaerobic system contains unique features that make it the most cost-effective and productive anaerobic digestion system available.IVC® PLUS INTENSIVE COMPOSTING AND CONDITIONINGIn-vessel composting is a fully enclosed system that accomplishes the natural aerobicbreak down of biodegradable waste to create a high-quality compost product. The combination of the ZERO WASTE ENERGY KOMPOFERM AD process for green energy production and IVC PLUS system for composting of the digestate yields a complete organics strategy that can be developed in an urban location.This newly introduced SMARTFERM® system uses theproven KOMPOFERM technology in a shopfabricated, field assembled system.SMARTFERM BENEFITS INCLUDE: • Dry fermentation anaerobic digestion with compressed footprint – ideal for commercial and institutional use • Appealing price point which provides immediate value and short payback periods • Rapid construction and implementation cycle • Low operation and maintenance costs • Highly efficient biogas capture ability with power and heat recovery • Effective centerpiece for rural distributed power networks and urban eco-districts SYSTEM CAPACITY (tpy) SIZE (sq. ft.) 4 Digester System (Basic) 4,500 3,000 8 Digester System 9,000 6,000 10 Digester System 11,000 7,250HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MECHANICAL PROCESSING SYSTEM • Integrated system matched to the specific waste characteristics • Highest demonstrated diversion rate with full scale reference facilit ies • Patented Bulk Handling Systems designs and components • Custom designed sorting systems at favorable market prices • Combining mechanical with biological systems to maximize energy recoveryHIGHLIGHTS OF THE KOMPOFERM DRY ANAEROBIC DIGESTION SYSTEM • Pre-processing is not required • Dry solids can be in excess of 50% of the input • Shortest production cycle at 21 days • Digesters are biologically self-heated • No digestate recirculation required • Facilit ies require a smaller footprint than traditional systemsHIGHLIGHTS OF THE ZWE IVC PLUS PROCESS • 28 day batch average cycle time - more than 50% less than traditional composting approaches • Lower infrastructure and operating costs than comparable systems • Expedites pathogen kill and controls all odors • Meets all Process to Further Reduce Pathogens (”PFRP”) requirements • Biologically self-heated composters effectively optimize energy usageSMARTFERM • Small scale modular system provides scalability options • Rapid equipment installation and start-up • Favorable solution for small communities or large institutions • Thermophilic operation yields compost in 21 days and with highest energy yields • Distributed power combined with agricultural benefit of compostG E T T H E R I G H T P E R F O R M A N C Ew i t h Z E R O W A S T E E N E R G YZero Waste Energy is the strategic business partner for waste companies that develops, builds and operates recycling and energy-from-waste facilities utilizing proven technology and experienced professional resources.Our ability to integrate business solutions utilizing proven, state-of-the-art technologies and waste industry business approaches are the critical differences for our customers and the vital resources to transition their waste companies in this high recovery and green energy demands of the marketplace. The following resources and services encompass our integrated solutions system: • Market Strategy Development • Design and Construction Management • Technology Partnerships • Facility Start-up/Transition Services • Project and Site Permitting • Operational Support and Facility Management • Facility and Equipment Engineering • Technical Support • Project Financing • Renewable Energy Credit MarketingEvery Zero Waste Energy facility is capable of generating significant carbon reduction benefits. Our sustainable operating systems represent the future of the industrial sector and the reality that what was once a throw away item can be harnessed to produce renewable energy in an economical manner. However, the concept would stand to lose some of its luster unless the strategy included a method to ensure that all company facilities are engaged in actively managing their resources and are focused on remaining carbon neutral.Each ZWE facility generally has in place a comprehensive sustainablility strategy with the following objectives and features: • Energy Efficiency Plans • Waste Recovery Maximization • Transportation Optimization and Tracking • Integration of Renewable Energy Systems • Recoverable Commodities • Renewable Energy Credits (“RECs”) • Biogas-Power or Renewable Natural Gas • Disposal Cost Avoidance • Soil Amendments • Environmental Value PropositionINTEGRATED SOLUTIONSSUSTAINABLE SYSTEMSKEY BENEFITST H R O U G H O U TT H E A M E R I C A S A N D A S I AOur waste processing systems integrate solutions and innovations in a cost-effective way thatoptimize the highest and best use potential in the form of energy and resource value.for more information visit:3470 Mt.
