Wesleyville Project Information
There is a significant difference between Incineration and Advanced Conversion Technology (ACT) of waste when it comes to the state-of-the-art technology that REM is bringing to Port Hope. A patented process where there is no flame on the waste and the conversion takes place in the absence of oxygen.
REM will build and operate the new facility that will provide an environmentally superior and economically sound solution for total waste management including diversion from landfill & compost via recycling and reuse as well as conversion of waste to renewable energy.
The core technology is Advanced Conversion Technology a low temperature "gasification"process to completely convert the residual materials (which is all waste not appropriate for recycling and reuse) into a Synthetic Gas (Syn-Gas) which is combusted in a patented Syn-Gas Burner to produce the heat and energy required for thermal distribution and electrical generation. Combustion of Syn-Gas is cleaner than Natural Gas.
REM’s Sustainable Solution "system" adds one more "R" to the 3 R’s of Recover, Recycle, Reuse which is Renewable Energy and the solution will provide for 98% diversion from landfill.
The Facility will be the first of its kind in Canada.
