American Alternative Energy Systems Corp. Announces Waste to Energy Rights Acquisition

American Alternative Energy Systems Energy Corp. company president Jeff Kulman announced today that the Company has reached an agreement in principle with Waste to Energy (Canada) Gasification Systems Inc. of Toronto, Ontario to obtain the distribution rights to the patented Waste to Energy (“WTE”) downdraft gasifier technology for the Americas. The system was developed in the mid 90s in the UK, and was originally designed to produce energy from sewage sludge and other toxic organic wastes. Please feel free to visit www.waste-to-energy.co.uk for more details regarding this technology.

Recently the technology has been significantly upgraded so that it can process virtually any type of municipal solid waste stream, plus commercial and industrial wastes.

The WTE system is modular, with the biggest module capable of processing up to one dry tonne per hour of waste. This makes it ideal for processing small local waste streams, and in particular sewage sludge that has already been “digested” to remove most of the volatile organic materials. The WTE gasifier can convert sewage sludge, especially combined with other dry wastes such as municipal solid waste streams, to produce efficient engineered fuels for local power and steam production.

Dr. Wayne Maddever, Chief Executive Officer of Waste to Energy (Canada) Limited, said, “This is an exciting time in the renewable energy business, and we feel fortunate to have teamed up with a visionary company in American Alternative Energy Systems that understands the huge potential of our gasifier to revolutionize the waste to energy sector.” Dr. Maddever added, “The WTE technology represents a significant breakthrough in the way we will destroy troublesome waste streams while producing local renewable energy. The focus of the waste to energy sector has evolved over the past few years away from incineration with waste heat recovery towards very efficient, low-emission gasification systems that produce a combustible gas, rather than simply burning the material to generate heat to produce steam.” Dr. Maddever emphasized, “This relatively low BTU ’syngas’ works extremely well with the new breed of specialized combined heat and power (‘CHP’) systems and maximizes the overall usage of the stored energy in the waste, while minimizing the huge volumes of NOx (nitrous oxides) produced by incineration of waste streams with free-flowing air.”

As a result, Dr. Maddever contemplates a huge market for these small, modular systems, which can be multiplexed to service all but the largest waste processing facilities. “We at WTE Canada see an opportunity to provide a clean, inexpensive way of converting the most difficult and noxious waste streams into the maximum possible amount of energy, with no impact on the environment except a positive one.”
