BioGold Fuels Corporation® produces in our Alternative Energy Centers™ high-grade synthetic renewable diesel fuel and other types of energy from municipal solid waste ("MSW") and other suitable types of carbon based waste streams. BioGold’s strategy to achieve this objective is centered on utilizing modular, MSW feedstock preparation technology in combination with a modular, feedstock to renewable diesel or synthetic gas technology. To this end, BioGold takes advantage of two key technological components, a proprietary preconditioning system for processing MSW and a unique system for processing organic materials into synthetic fuels.

PRECONDITIONING TECHNOLOGY

The key to value extraction from MSW is the ability to efficiently separate MSW into discreet components. The proprietary in-preconditioning system which has a working capacity of approximately 17 short tons per batch, creates a highly-controlled environment for the MSW that enables BioGold to achieve the following:

• First, the paper and packaging products (cellulosics) are consistently reduced in size to yield a homogenous fiber feedstock the size of pre-cooked oatmeal flakes, permitting the separation of cellulose material from the other organic material and inorganic material by simple mechanical screening.
  
  
• Second, the screened cellulosic material will contain some small inorganic matter, but a unique element of the post-processing technology will remove these inorganic materials leaving the cellulose ready for processing by a selected renewable fuel technology.
  
  
• Third, the oversized material harvested from screening contains ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics, textiles, and other large discards. The ferrous material is removed using magnetic separation and the non-ferrous (e.g., aluminum) is removed using eddy current separation. This leaves plastic bottles and films as well as textiles, wood, etc. ready to be ground to -1/2" for feedstock to be fed to the gasifier technology. Prior to grinding, heavy material will be removed by air density separation techniques.
  
  
• Fourth, the unique environment created by the preconditioning system completely sterilizes the MSW and destroys any and all pathogens inherent in the incoming material.
  
  
• Fifth, No noxious, regulated air emissions escape from the process.

BIOGOLD FUELS MODULAR GASIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

This is a process that converts carbon containing feedstock materials prepared in the feedstock preparation step 1 into synthesis gas (Syngas) that is then used to produce fuels or power.

Feedstock that has been processed by the preconditioning system and is ready for gasification is stored in silos and fed to the gasifier feeding system by conveyor.
      
It’s important to note, BioGold Fuels Corporation does not burn anything in our process.  The process uses high heat within sealed chambers that convert the waste into syngas.  The syngas is then utilized for the conversion to liquid fuels.   

LIQUID FUELS CONVERSION PROCESS

• The BioGold Fuels GTL (gas to liquid) process will be used to convert the hydrogen and carbon monoxide (CO & H2) in the syngas produced by the steam reformer that uses the syngas exiting the Gasifier.
  
  
• The most common liquid fuel produced will be SynDiesel although other liquid fuel types can be produced.
  
  
• This process is a patented catalysis process that has been successfully demonstrated.
  
  
• If desired the Project could be designed to produce Methanol, DME or even Gasoline depending on which fuel is wanted to be produced.
