"Thermal Depolymerisation" - Resources from waste

[Mike Mazzone of Palatine]

An experimental unit that uses a technique known as the "thermal depolymerisation process" (TDP) that can recycle seven tonnes of waste a day into gas and oil has been running for three years in Philadelphia. A scaled up version is due to open in Carthage, Missouri next month. It is designed to transform 200 tonnes of guts, beaks, blood and bones a day from a nearby turkey processing plant into 10 tonnes of gas and 600 barrels of oil.

Trials at the Philadelphia pilot project have given the engineers a good idea of what different feedstocks would produce. For instance, a 175lb (79kg) man could, theoretically, yield 38lb of oil, 7lb of gas, 7lb of minerals and carbon and 123lb of sterilised water. More practically, 100lb (45kg) of sewage becomes 26lb (11kg) of oil, 9lb of gas, 8lb of minerals and carbon and 57lb of water. Medical waste, generally regard as tricky to dispose of, is particularly valuable - its equivalent yields are 65, 10, 5 and 20.

If anyone has ever played the game "Alpha Centauri", they'll remember the recycling tanks. Recycling paper, cans, and plastics has gained a lot of popularity. How long before the masses accept recycling flesh? Post-mortum burials and even cremation could be considered "wasteful" if this trend continues.

Indeed, though I'm sure there would be 'moral outrage'. The civilization that pioneered it was Chairman Yang of the Hive if I am not mistaken.

Here is some more interesting info about this process that I've found:

"The potential is unbelievable," says Michael Roberts, a senior chemical engineer for the Gas Technology Institute, an energy research group. "You're not only cleaning up waste; you're talking about distributed generation of oil all over the world."

"This is not an incremental change. This is a big, new step," agrees Alf Andreassen, a venture capitalist with the Paladin Capital Group and a former Bell Laboratories director.

A step like this could throw a monkey wrench into the kikes plan of controlling all the world's oil production. A white racialist community with this technology could truly survive and thrive outside the system. This may foil the kike's last ditch effort to save themselves from the world's wrath in "Fortress Americas", since this would decentralize resource distribution.

Wow, thanks for posting this information!

A few years ago I worked for some gentlemen, of Italian decent, that had developed this system to operate off of effluent from sewage treatment plants. They were trying to establish a test facility somewhere in New Jersey but kept running into brick walls with community, county and state officials. If anyone knows what Jersey is full of, it's shit. This process would put all of it to good use and the byproduct, besides energy resources, is fertalizer. Another + for 'the garden state'. I guess the energy and chem. companies don't want this sort of thing to catch on. Wouldn't be good for their coffers.

And such companies can bribe public interest research groups(PIRG) into reporting that technology that can turn sewage and offal into oil has a FONSI(finding of no significant impact) assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

A Los Angeles Times article today quotes CWT CEO Brian Appel, who said, “[T]he tax breaks for production of energy from agricultural and animal waste wouldn’t be worth the government paperwork to claim the credit… The provisions in the energy bill do very little to encourage investments in cutting-edge technologies like ours that deal with waste and also provide meaningful amounts of renewable energy.”

“If U.S. PIRG read the energy bill correctly and understood the environmental benefits of our thermal process, they would be advocating for it instead of maligning it,” asserts Mr. Appel. “Our thermal technology provides a viable solution for some of the earth’s gravest environmental challenges, including arresting global warming by reducing the use of fossil fuels, and reforming organic waste into a high-value resource. In addition, it has the potential to substantially reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. This is wholly consistent with U.S. PIRG’s mission statement, and we are baffled by their misinterpretation of the technology’s benefits, environmentally and economically.”

CWT’s thermal process has undergone the scrutiny of an Environmental Assessment under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and received a Finding of No Significant Impact, or FONSI.

Energy companies can go further than paying to suppress alternatives that would decentralize resource distribution. Read here about the murder of a scientist who was making a lot of progress with cold fusion.

Those 100MPG carb inventors and their inventions do seem to have a history of being "shelved" by monied interests. Very interesting process. Would the product of this process technically be synthetic oil? Synthetics still command a substantial price difference. Because it is a better oil.

As a technology its been around for years, and ought to be developed further not least to help the 'West' get away from dependency on imported oil feedstocks.

"What is Gasification? The gasification process converts any carbon-containing material into a synthesis gas composed primarily of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can be used as a fuel to generate electricity or steam or used as a basic chemical building block for a large number of uses in the petrochemical and refining industries."

In pre-war central Europe, some farms lucky enough to have 'modern' agricultural vehicles used to run heavy vehicles on 'wood gas'.

Ive got some quaint photos of an Uncles farm in west prussia with the old fellows largest Tractor and farm truck rigged up with wood gas tanks(bags that were essentially balloons that carried the gasified fuel tied with ropes on the roof - for agricultural vehicles, aerodynamic qualities were not a consideration ) .

Even scrap wood can be turned into fuel for a car and theres now renewed interest in woodgas - years after it was in mainstream use in central Europe
