沼气可以帮助营造电力或用作自然气体的替代品,并且通常被称为化石燃料的清洁和碳中性替代品。然而,分解过程产生二氧化碳和其他危险,令人难以愉快的嗅觉气体,导致年度全球清理费用为12亿美元。
According to White, “the greatest asset of biogas is that it’s capturing methane that would otherwise be going into the atmosphere where it’s 22 times worse than carbon dioxide for global warming, so a great story, but the same bacteria that make biogas also make hydrogen sulfide which is toxic, corrosive, and causes a lot of maintenance cost in the industry. So we really need to get it out of the gas so that gas can be used.”
他说Sulfachar是独一无二的。“我们的方法所做的一个独特方面之一是它催化地将硫化物转化为硫。Sulphur is a fertilizer product and because the feedstock we’re making it out of is a fiber that’s almost a compost when we’re done with it we’re left with a carbon compost that’s already in the fertilizer form, so we don’t have to any reprocessing. As soon as we take it out of the tanks where it’s been used for gas cleaning we can apply it directly to the fields,” said White.
白色建立了多伦多大学研究分校,Char Technologies,并表示Sulfachar是唯一有效将硫化氢转化为肥料补充剂的产品,而不是需要处理的废物。
