With expertise in water, energy, financial and environmental solutions, GE is uniquely positioned to provide a complete W2V solution.
Waste-to-Value improves our industrial customers' bottom line and environmental impact by reducing wastewater discharge/disposal, energy use, and fresh water consumption.
The solution also will reduce the plant's carbon footprint and potentially make the customer's business eligible for tax credits. Waste streams with high organic content will provide the greatest return on investment such as in the Food & Beverage and Pulp & Paper industries.
GE's Waste-to-Value solution provides the customer with the ability to become independent of water and energy and to provide attractive long term benefits and fixed utility costs.
Environmental Benefit
The main environmental benefits are
- Reduction of the plant's fresh water footprint by re-using process water
- Substantial reduction of CO2 emitted to the environment
- Cover electricity and thermal requirements partly with biogas created through the organic waste stream
The GE Waste-to-Value solution can be configured with advanced solutions including: sophisticated wastewater treatment technologies Jenbacher combined heat and power production, regulatory expertise, and flexible financing and equity structures.
Operating Benefit
The operating performance is improved by saving costs for electricity and natural gas through the creation of biogas that is produced through the digestion of the organic content. Also the process wastewater is cleaned for re-use which reduces the amount fresh water intake and saves money.
In many cases waste disposal costs are greatly reduced. By monetizing the carbon savings and taking advantage of incentives such as locally offered tax breaks the Waste-to-Value solution can increase the operational benefits even more.
