Advanced Biofuel Solutions Ltd. (ABSL) and Hatch have announced a strategic alliance aimed at bringing innovative solutions to market for converting waste into higher-value products through plasma gasification, specifically RadGas technology.
RadGas technology is specialised in converting waste and biomass materials into synthesis gas, incorporating a fluid bed gasifier, direct current (DC) plasma furnace, and heat recovery boiler. It offers a highly efficient and reliable process, producing synthesis gas free of tars and particulates.
ABSL’s Swindon demonstration plant represents a pioneering facility converting household waste into grid-quality biomethane using RadGas technology. Hatch’s involvement with ABSL began with advice on the operation of the DC plasma furnace in Swindon. The strategic alliance announced today will see Hatch develop a design and delivery plan for a commercial DC-scale furnace specifically for RadGas, along with offering the integration of RadGas with other product technologies to provide end-to-end solutions to the market.
Robert Francki, Hatch’s global managing director of energy, stated, “ABSL’s RadGas technology has tremendous potential as a GHG-reducing solution for turning waste into low-carbon products. We are proud to contribute our well-honed furnace technology and unique ability to engineer and deliver integrated, technologically advanced, and complex facilities.”
Nathan Burkey, ABSL’s executive chairman, remarked, “We see this strategic alliance as an exciting step to building a long-term partnership that will underpin delivering robust technology today and long into the future. Hatch’s gasification expertise and technology implementation heritage bring world-class delivery capability to our RadGas offering.”
ABSL, a UK-based technology company, provides design and support services to engineering contractors and third-party developers of advanced biofuel facilities. They also own and operate the world’s first plant converting household waste into bio-substitute natural gas through gasification.
Hatch, an established technology development and global engineering firm, brings its industry-leading plasma furnace technology and experience in designing end-to-end gasification solutions to complement ABSL and the RadGas technology line-up. With sixty-eight years of experience, Hatch has implemented numerous facilities with customised electric smelting furnaces, making it well-suited for the RadGas project.
