GEM America, Inc. uses Graveson Energy Management Thermal Cracking Technology (TCT) to convert common commercial and municipal waste into clean synthetic gas.  TCT, a proven technology, is currently used by the petrochemical industry to crack heavy crude oil into a more easily refined lighter crude. GEM America takes TCT to the next level.  

GEM has revolutionized the TCT process to convert common wastes into clean synthetic gas without combustion. (Convertable waste include organic solids, municipal solid waste (MSW), commercial waste, sludge, wood, agricultural waste, used oil, rubber tires, and non-recyclable plastics). GEM America's TCT process allows municipalities, industries and waste collectors to achieve landfill reduction targets and increase recycling revenues and produce electricity. The clean synthetic gas produced by GEM can be used to heat boilers (by replacing natural gas or mixing with natural gas), put through reciprocating engines to produce electricity or converted into methanol.
 

GEM America can meet American, Canadian and European regulations that cover diverting Municipal and Industrial/Commercial waste from landfills and incinerators.  


Graveson Energy Management Ltd has developed a unique advanced thermal conversion system that recovers energy from a wide selection of materials considered waste in our modern society.

The GEM Gas Conversion technology presents an elegant solution for some of the major environmental challenges facing the world today. Atmospheric pollution, waste management, sustainable energy and resource use are issues embraced globally as significant problems associated with social and industrial development of the modern world. Topics such as climate change, non renewable fossil fuel use, landfill, poor resource management and sustainability need addressing today to protect tomorrow.

GEM’s advanced thermal conversion process can be described as ‘flash pyrolysis’. It is the chemical decomposition of feedstock by intensive heat in the absence of oxygen atmosphere also known as “destructive distillation” or “cracking”. This well established process has been utilised commercially for many years, it is widely used in the petro-chemical industry.

GEM recognised the superior efficiency of this thermal process and have applied its principles to the waste management and renewable energy markets. The advantages of this process are:-

> Identifies wasted resources as valuable fuel.

> Utilises that fuel by efficiently converting it into synthetic gas.

> Synthetic gas produced is a replacement for natural gas, reducing reliance on fossil fuel energy sources.

> Generates renewable electricity and heat from that synthetic gas.

> Enables landfill diversion without discouraging recycling,

> Improves the environmental impact compared with traditional forms of waste disposal and power generation.

Cogentech works with GEM and other strategic parties to provide comprehensive Own/Operate solutions for socially and fiscally responsible waste conversion.
