## Turn trash to ash
##### Fuel free, cost savings & non-polluting
This innovative technology is a game changer that can give you a new market advantage and set your organization on a path to more affordable, practical, and environmentally sustainable waste disposal.
The Phoenix can thermally reduce 4-8 tons of unsorted municipal solid waste – plastic, Styrofoam, food waste – into 3% ash every 24 hours. It operates without using fuel or producing toxic emissions, and **at less than half the cost** of landfill tipping fees. The ability to treat waste at source, along with our proprietary fuel-free system translates to The Phoenix being a cost-saving and low carbon waste management solution.
!
### A viable technology
With far lower capital and operating costs than competing waste disposal methods, the Phoenix is economically viable for businesses and non-profits. It offers a definitive solution for disposing of waste and plastic, enabling you to meet your zero landfill goals.
### Clean and low carbon footprint
The Phoenix is non polluting and EPA compliant. Our proprietary thermal degradation technology inhibits pollutants from forming at a molecular level. It generates heat of 600-1000F without using any fuel, creating a low carbon footprint.
#### Resource recovery
All kinds of unsorted municipal waste can be loaded directly into the Phoenix to be thermally reduced. Metal and glass remain untreated and can be recovered for recycling without the costly process of separation. The heat that is generated from the Phoenix can also be used to generate electricity.
### Community opportunities
The Phoenix allows for decentralized waste management, saving communities transportation costs. The carbon ash by-product can be used for soil amendment or construction, creating further opportunities for community development programs.
## There is no time to waste
The world’s trash crises is one of the most urgent environmental problems of our time. Human beings produce 2.12 billion tons of waste each year, which is about 10 times the weight of all of humanity put together. Waste contributes to the worsening climate crises; it kills wildlife and is detrimental to our own public health. The poor are disproportionately affected by unsustainable waste management strategies.
At Phoenix Waste Solutions, we are committed to creating positive environmental and social impact through our innovative technology.  We are keen to network with like-minded organizations who have a vision of a sustainable and pollution-free future. By tackling the issue of waste, we can address various critical topics such as the climate crises, plastic pollution, wildlife extinction and resource depletion.

# What it does

# What types of waste can treated?
The Phoenix can process 4 to 8 tons of mixed municipal waste and mixed debris in 24 hours without the need for any sorting. Waste treatment time is impacted by the calorific content of the material being treated, and the ratio of moisture.
#### Plastic
This includes styrofoam, plastic film, plastic bags, PET bottles, vinyl and other petroleum based products.
#### Food waste, agriculture & garden waste
Food waste with less than 30% moisture content (in the load) can be easily disposed of. Agriculture and garden waste can potentially also be turned in bio-char
#### Waste paper & textiles
Cardboard, soiled paper and old clothing which cannot be recycled can be responsibly disposed of.
#### E-waste
The plastic components of electronic waste will be turned into ash, while the metal components will remain behind. The metal components – including precious metals from the circuit boards – can be retrieved for recycling.
## PPE and Medical Waste
Waste that carries pathogens with risk of transmitting CoronaVirus include:
* General household waste from quarantined patients or suspected patients.
* Gowns, masks and PPE from hospitals, testing sites and quarantine centers.
* Wastes of plastic, rubber, cotton, fibre and other materials contaminated by the patient’s blood, body fluids, and infectious excreta.
* Masks, rubber gloves and other PPE used by the general public are an explosion in waste management. These used materials may be infected with the virus. However they are being handled as normal waste.
Handling, storing and transporting this waste puts community and workers at risk. Typically medical waste is treated with an autoclave which is a sterilization machine that uses steam heated a minimum temperature of 250 F for 30 minutes before it is landfilled. The Phoenix reaches temperatures of 500 to 1000 degrees Farenheit during its treatment process, killing any pathogens that may exist in the waste. This allows treatment of infected waste at source, reducing handling via current centralized collection methods.
## What types of waste cannot be treated?
* Metal
* Glass
* Cement
These items cannot be processed by The Phoenix. If these items are loaded in to the machine along with other materials, they will remain behind and can be removed along with the ash.
## Beneficial reuse of ash
Waste that is processed in the Phoenix is converted to ash at 2-4% of the original weight. This ash can be used as soil amendment or in construction. There are studies which show the benefits of adding ash to cement in a ratio from 5 to 20%. The resultant concrete is lighter, has more compressive strength, and reduced water absorption.
NOTE: Phoenix Waste has not conducted experiments on our ash by-product, thus the information provided represents open source research.
## Compliments recycling programs
Approximately 25% of waste sent to recycling facilities can not be recycled due to contamination. The Phoenix can reduced the contaminated waste to 2 -4 % of its original volume.
## Energy creation
In phase two of its product development, Phoenix Waste Solutions will test an add on feature to create electricity from the heat and steam generated from the Phoenix Waste Treatment process.
## Who can use The Phoenix?
* Subdivisions, condominiums & housing facilities
* Hospitals & medical facilities
* Airports & marine terminals
* Universities & schools
* Factories & office buildings
* Recycling centers
* Stadiums & concert halls
* Hotels, resorts & restaurants
* Retailers, malls & grocery stores
* Remote islands or off grid properties

# How it works
## Key technical components
**IONIC GENERATOR** : Creates ionized gas that acts as a high energy catalyst. It also inhibits the generation of harmful chemicals at a molecular level.
**FURNACE CHAMBER**: Refractory material that transfers high heat up to 1000 degrees Fahrenheit to waste materials to thermally degrade and disintegrate them in a low oxygen environment.
**GAS STREAM FILTRATION SYSTEM**: Water scrubber and carbon filter that removes particulate matter, heavy metals and pollutants for clean air emissions.
## How does it work without any fuel?
##### Negative ions provide energy and pollution control
* The furnace chamber is pre-heated to 200 to 300 F.
* A blower drives atmospheric air into the Ionic Generator creating ionized gas with free-flowing ions and negatively charged electrons.
* The oxygen is paramagnetic. Oxygen atoms have two unpaired electrons which are freed in the ionizing process.
* The unpaired electrons get concentrated as they enter the furnace chamber. The heat in the chamber further energizes the free ions and the exothermic reaction of this ionization is accelerated.
* These highly reactive negative ions inhibit the formation of dioxins, furans, NOx and SOx through ionic exchange. Hence, pollutants normally associated with incineration are minimized.
* The heat energy that is released thermally degrades the waste material fiber. Temperature inside furnace rises to up to 500-1000 F.
* Waste matter is thermally decomposed into ash with 2-4% reduction
## Gas Stream filtration system
* After passing through a heat exchanger, the exit gas then passes through 5 stages of water spray and baffle system that act as a suppressant to remove toxins and further quench temperatures to protect materials.
* A variety of alkaline solutions are available to sequester carbon dioxide, hydrochloric acid and sulfur dioxide.
* Particulate matter and pollutants fall into the bath. The built-in cartridge filters capture particles as the water is continually recirculated.
* This is a closed loop system with no water discharge.
* The gas stream exits the water scrubber and passes into carbon beds to remove heavy metals, acid gas, dioxins and furans as well as color.
* Activated carbon works via adsorption whereby pollutant molecules are trapped inside the pore structure of the carbon substrate.
* 1 gram of carbon pellets has an internal area of 2 tennis courts.
* Air quality exceeds US EPA standards for air emissions
## Operating resources required
