Gasifiers are plants that generate energy and hot water thanks to the incineration of waste from unsorted collection, with a high calorific value, intended for MBT (Mechanical Biological Treatment) or CWPP (Crushing and Waste Packaging Plant) plants.
The gasification system was born in Japan and has also been in use in Italy for some years now. These plants implement heating in nearly anaerobic conditions by exploiting molecular dissociation/pyrolysis to transform the Solid Secondary Fuel (SSF) into gas: the long carbon chains are split into molecules such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen and methane, which will generate a synthesis gas called Syngas.
