Stub Haber, founder of MSW Power presents on his waste-to-energy system- the 'GEM' (Green Energy Machine).

1. Landfill Diversion & Clean Energy Generation
The “GEM”
(Green Energy Machine)

The “GEM” at the Plymouth (MA) County Correctional Facility

2. GEM Overview
 The GEM is a Landfill Diverter
– Converts useless waste into valuable clean energy
 Handles mixed waste streams
– Paper, plastic, wood, food, agricultural waste
– Processes up to 3 tons/day
 Diverts unrecyclable waste from landfill
 Complements existing recycling programs
 Occupies a compact footprint (45’ x 9.5’ x 8’)
– Plus Front End/Back End

3. GEM Benefits
 Helps achieve sustainability goals
 Processes unrecyclable waste on-site
where it is generated
 Eliminates landfill use by 95%
– 5% ash may be placed in landfills or re-
purposed
 Saves money
– Eliminates 95% of waste hauling fees
– Lowers energy costs3

4. What’s Included
 GEM (45’ ISO container)
– Solid waste pre-processor (shredder, drier, pellet mill, pellet hopper)
– Gasifier (Downdraft Gasification)
– Non-ferrous and ferrous metal separation
– Safety features (TUV certification)
– Fire suppression
 Automatic ash removal
 Standard front loader
 Back-end for energy generation (generator or boiler) & switch gear for
generator
 Regular design services & permitting assistance
 Installation and commissioning
 90-day labor warranty (next day, 8 X 5)
 1 yr parts warranty
 Remote monitoring service4

7. Configuration Options– Back End
 CHP
– Power
 Hybrid fuel genset uses synthetic gas
blended with diesel
– Heat
 Engine and exhaust heat are recovered
for use by facility
 Heat only
– Boiler runs on synthetic gas
– Provides hot air, hot water, or steam
– Heat used by facility

8. Remote Monitoring & Controls
 Over 100 sensors installed throughout the GEM measure a
wide array of parameters
 Wealth of data provides analysis capabilities
– Anticipate potential maintenance requirements
– Evaluate cost savings
– Determine environmental benefits
 MSW Power engineer remotely monitors details of GEM
operation via wireless network interface
 Customer has access to a summary screen of operational
data
 Many data points compiled to generate a real-time kiosk
screen.

 Thermal decomposition
process
 Converts solid matter into
gaseous form
 Resultant gas is flammable
 GEM methodology –
Downdraft Gasification
– Uses high heat in oxygen-
starved process to convert
solids into gaseous fuel or
“syngas”
– Vacuum pulls gas thru
bottom of gasifier with no
emissions
– Small-scale efficiency
– Low-tar gas producing
system

10. Gas Data & Noise Level
 Gas Composition (% of Volume)
– Nitrogen 44%
– CO 22%
– Hydrogen 18%
– Methane 3%
– Water 8%
– CO2 5%
 Gas Energy Content - 160 to 200 BTU/cu ft
 Noise Levels
– SWP = 65dB at (Pellet Mill Doors)
– Gasifier = 66dB (at GEM Container Corner)
– SWP + Gasifier + Boiler = 68dB (next to GEM Container)
– SWP + Gasifier + Generator = 75dB (23 feet from GEM)

• Landfills produce 420 tons of GHG emissions annually to dispose of 3 tons of waste daily.
• Utilities produce 440 tons of GHG annually to create 75kW of electricity daily.
• Utilities produce 330 tons of GHG annually to create 180 kW of heat daily
