Sevier Solid Waste in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, has engaged PHG Energy to build a new Biomass Gasification Plant capable of cleanly converting more than 30 tons of composted material daily into thermal energy while producing a valuable high-carbon biochar.
“This new installation will help us reduce the amount of compost we need to transport by converting it into a biochar material, creating a new revenue stream for us,” said Tom Leonard, director of Sevier Solid Waste Inc. “The energy from the gasification system will be used in a thermal oxidizer promoting odor control in the buildings and will allow us to defer other upgrades. This represents a significant savings from our current disposal and operating costs.”
SSWI operates an industry-recognized and innovative garbage composting plant that processes more than 100,000 tons annually from the Sevierville, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. All the municipal solid waste (MSW) is processed through the plant, with 60 percent of it being made into compost.
The carbon footprint of the facility will be reduced by over 450 tons of CO2 emissions each year, according to EPA calculators.
