"Environmental and Power Systems International (EPSI) has developed an alternative pollution control technology for handling VOC emissions.

 

The technology has the ability to generate electricity and useful thermal heat with a gas turbine, using high-Btu VOC containing gases enriched with natural gas.

 

VOCGEN CHP is an alternative VOC abatement technology to thermal oxidizers such as RTO and RCOs with the following advantages over standard RTOs (GTI 2003)" 

 

  • Shorter initial cold start-up time (5 min. versus 1 to 8 hours)

 

  • >85% Recoverable heat for use by end-user as steam
  • On-site electric and steam generation

Combustion Turbine Genset Destroys VOCs While Providing Distibuted Combined Heat and Power

 

More than 100 types of businesses representing as many as 100,000 commercial and industrial facilities use materials that produce air emissions regulated by federal, state, and local agencies. The U.S. EPA regulates volatile organic compounds (VOCs) under Title III of the Clean Air Act of 1990, and those regulations are tightening. Environment and Power Systems International (EPSI) has developed an alternative to traditional VOC abatement technologies that also offers end users the benefits of distributed generation and cogeneration. EPSI founder Steve Sexton met with EPRI’s David Thimsen and Steve said he believes his technology will provide an appealing value proposition to thousands of customer/users as well as an opportunity for electric power utilities to co-develop and manage distributed electric generation assets for their industrial customers.

EPA Releases Proposed Waste Energy and CHP Rule
 
The EPA CHP Partnership is informing its Partners about the agency's prepublication of a proposed rule focusing on waste energy and CHP.
 
On July 16, 2009, the EPA Administrator signed a proposed rule, Waste Energy Recovery Registry, which proposes criteria for including sources or sites in a Registry of Recoverable Waste Energy Sources ('Registry'), as required under Title IV, Subtitle D of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007. This action also proposes the Survey processes by which EPA will collect data and populate the Registry.
 
The proposed rule will apply to major industrial and large commercial sources defined in the rulemaking. The proposed rule will not require the installation of new monitoring equipment; instead it specifies that sources that meet certain threshold levels and that wish to be included in the Registry voluntarily enter specific already-monitored data points into the Survey. The Survey is a necessary first step to gather the data needed to establish the Registry.

From Pollution Control to Combined Heat and Energy Technology Systems

"Recycled energy is the capture of energy from sources that would otherwise be unused and converted into electricity and thermal energy.  Recycled energy produces no increase in fossil fuel consumption.  Clean recycled energy has the ability to reduce costs and increase profits for the firms that implement them."
