However, the incineration process has a few challenging issues: (i) gasified waste produces contaminants that are harmful to the environment, (ii) tar produced as a by-product deactivates catalysts and fouls/plug process equipment, (iii) incinerators produce energy inefficiently since incinerators make most of their money from waste disposal fees instead of from power generation and (iv) incinerators need to be of large scale. Synova has the technology to remove tar and gaseous contaminants (OLGA®).
