Waste-to-Energy

At 786, our Waste-to-Energy (WtE) solutions transform organic and industrial waste streams into clean, reliable energy. In a world facing increasing environmental challenges and rising energy demands, Waste-to-Energy offers a sustainable, efficient, and economically viable solution. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology, operational expertise, and ecological responsibility to deliver energy generation projects that benefit both clients and communities.

What is Waste-to-Energy?

Waste-to-Energy refers to the process of converting waste materials into usable forms of energy, such as electricity, heat, or fuel. It provides a sustainable alternative to landfill disposal and supports the transition toward a circular economy. By capturing energy from waste, WtE projects reduce greenhouse gas emissions, mitigate environmental impact, and contribute to energy security.

Common WtE methods include:

Incineration with Energy Recovery: Controlled burning of waste to generate electricity or heat.
Anaerobic Digestion: Microbial decomposition of organic waste in oxygen-free conditions to produce biogas.
Gasification and Pyrolysis: High-temperature processes that convert waste into synthetic gas or bio-oil for energy use.

Why Waste-to-Energy Matters

WtE projects address multiple critical objectives:

Environmental Sustainability: Reduces reliance on landfills, minimises methane emissions, and contributes to cleaner air and water.
Renewable Energy Generation: Converts waste streams into electricity or heat, supporting energy diversification and security.
Economic Benefits: Generates revenue through energy production, reduces waste disposal costs, and creates local jobs.
Circular Economy Integration: Encourages resource efficiency and waste valorisation, turning what was once discarded into a valuable asset.

By integrating WtE solutions into your operations or community infrastructure, you can achieve measurable environmental and financial outcomes.

Turn your waste into energy

Waste products are all around us as whether from industrial waste or MSW (municipal household waste) probably the biggest waste problem facing our world today.

Far too often unsorted waste is taken to a tip and stacked as high as can be achieved. Once the birds have their fill of any food that may be left behind, the waste rots and is eventually buried by covering with soil. Sorted waste or recycled waste has had all the re-usable materials such as metals and plastics removed and separated into sections, with most biodegradable waste being sent to landfill. That is the theory but often not the case.

What can be achieved from waste?

All Waste has energy potential, known as a Calorific Value, attached to it. Below is a simple example of the levels of energy that exist within.

Type of Material	Calorific Value Mj/Kg	CV (Kcal/Kg)
Medical Waste	19-24	4500-5735
Industrial Hazardous	22-40	5257-9558
Domestic Waste (MSW)	10-14	2389-3345
PVC Plastics	41	9797
Dry Wood	14.5	3441
Paper / Cardboard	13.5	3226
Coal	15-27	3584-6452
Ethanol	30	7168
Diesel	46	10992
Petrol	45-46	10573-11231

We take the volumes of waste seen in certain areas and start by assessing the quantities and condition of that waste. With our partners we select the best technology to clear up the waste and turn it into a commodity of value for the immediate need, electricity or gas.

Mostly, that need is electrical energy (power)

We develop a bespoke technology for your needs. 786 use only proven technologies ensuring we are able to guarantee the best results.

The technologies currently available that work best on such waste materials are as follow.

Principal Technology
Gasification
Pyrolysis
Combustion
Incineration
Biomass

And any number of variations in between which may bring about better results.

Gasification / Pyrolysis.

The product from processing waste is a gas, (Sin Gas). This is traditionally processed using Gasification or Pyrolysis. The Gasification technology processes the waste through its system introducing Oxygen into the process. The result of this is a dirty gas from the waste called (Sin Gas). Before we can use this gas it has to go through a cleaning process or scrubbing process. The gas after scrubbing is separated by filters prior to being used as a fuel in reciprocation Gen Sets, heat boilers or Gas Turbines. The principal differences between Gasification and Pyrolysis is that oxygen is kept out of the process in Pyrolysis and induced in Gasification and therefore the gas taken out of the system is cleaner and more useable.

In summary

Gasification – Dirty Gas.
Pyrolysis – Cleaner Gas.
Pyrolysis Plant.

Here we can see that the material left following Gasification and Pyrolysis is a bio Char. It is generally a hard and glazed material due to the heat cycles from the process. This offtake product can be used for road building and even bricks can be manufactured from this matter and used in construction.

Following the scrubbing and cleaning of the gasses, they are stored and pressurised to be used as fuel feeding into Gen-sets or heat boilers.

The process from a heat boiler is steam usually very hot superheated steam, which is passed through a steam turbine Genset, producing clean electricity from a waste product

This is an example of an efficient boiler where the flame is fired into the boiler at high pressure and the water generates super-heated steam which is fed directly into a Steam Turbine Gen-Set. This is a typical Steam genset spinning the generator as the high-pressure steam generates rotation as it crosses the turbine blades seen below.

So, we have seen that the waste from the waste mountain can be dried cleaned and processed through various technologies and onto clean collated energy in the form of electricity.

This electricity is connected through a Sub Station and power lines, transporting the electricity to wherever it is required.
