The Department of Defense (DOD) has a strong interest and focused need to reduce the logistics tail associated with forward operations.
Activities associated with mission sustainment at forward operating bases (FOBs) and combat outposts (COPs) present significant
challenges with respect to fuel and water supply, and waste footprint management. Waste to energy conversion (WEC) systems present a
promising option for managing waste burdens while providing supplemental energy/heat. While a number of gasification and pyrolysis-based
WEC systems are currently under evaluation by the DOD, no system has been demonstrated to meet PM Force Sustainment Systems’ (PM
FSS) desire for a compact (8’x8’x20’), efficient (50% net chemical energy recovery), and robust (field-worthy, minimal operator interface)
WEC system. To address the current need, Infoscitex Corporation (IST) proposed the development of a downdraft gasification system
capable of processing shredded waste into clean-burning syngas. The overall objective of the proposed effort was to design, fabricate, and
demonstrate a gasifier capable of reliably and efficiently converting shredded (single-stage), co-mingled (paper, food, plastic, wood) waste
into syngas suitable for use in either a spark ignition or diesel cycle generator set.
