The Solid Distillation System is another innovative,cost-effective, recycling technology from PCI.

SDS is a positive step forward in waste recycling technology from PCI that offers customers an effective and cost-efficient method for recycling organic solid waste that might otherwise be incinerated or landfilled.

Our Solid Distillation System is a self contained, indirectly-heated, rotating processing chamber that uses an anaerobic atmosphere to remove volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds from solid waste. SDS eliminates oxidation and the formation of hazardous compounds. In addition to the environmentally friendly nature of the process, the SDS system offers many other advantages over typical direct-flame systems.

SDS IS THE INDUSTRY'S MOST ADVANCED SOLID WASTE RECYCLING SYSTEM

The image above shows the major components of the SDS system. The shredder building on the left, the control room and the solid waste processing unit in the center building and the recycled product tanks on the right.

MAKE THE MOVE TO SDS

THE SOLID WASTE PROCESSING UNIT CONSISTS OF 4 BASIC COMPONENTS:

1. THERMAL ENCLOSURE
2. HEAT EXHAUST
3. ROTATING PROCESSING CHAMBER
4. INDIRECT HEATING SYSTEM

ALL SDS PROCESSED MATERIAL RECEIVES A CERTIFICATE OF RECYCLING

The PCI SDS system can ...

... effectively process any solid waste containing organic compounds.

... help generators meet Environmental Management Systems objectives.

... prevent pollution while promoting recycling and reuse.

... help customers meet the USEPA RCRA Conservation Challenge.

... eliminate the release of hazardous constituents into the atmosphere.

... conserve energy and materials while keeping waste out of the environment.

SDS ... THE PROCESS

- A shredder reduces all feed materials to a uniform size.

- Shredded feed materials are conveyed to the entry valve.

- Shredded feed materials are introduced to the rotating processing chamber.

- Waste enters the rotating thermal chamber and is exposed to the indirectly heated high temperature environment.

- The anaerobic atmosphere inside the rotating chamber prevents oxidation of the hydrocarbon components from the waste.

- The indirect heating enclosure blankets the thermal chamber and exhausts excess heat.

- The SDS system eliminates the need for incineration or land disposal.

- Processed gases are reclaimed and recycled.
