- Feedstock Preparation
Municipal solid waste is received from large transport trailers and moved to conveying equipment for transport to gasifiers.
- Gasification
Feedstock enters a gasifier, where it is converted to a synthesis gas or syngas. The resulting syngas consists mainly of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
- Heat Recovery Steam Generator
Heat released in the gasification process is recovered and converted to steam for use in the plant.

- Alcohol Synthesis Reactors
The syngas enters our proprietary alcohol-synthesis process, where it passes through a catalyst that converts the syngas to ethanol.
- Alcohol Separation
Separates and purifies ethanol.
- Ethanol
Clean, renewable ethanol fuel which started out as household trash is now ready for sale to local blenders to be added to the gasoline that fuels our cars and trucks.
