The Picture left is 6 acres in Santa Rosa, Limon Providence Costa
Rica. We plan to build a Home for girls. There is estimated 5000
homeless girls in Costa Rica ranging in age from age 7 to 17. Many
of the girls come from families that simply can not afford them so
they are left to fend for themselves on the street. The plan is to
build a facility to give these young people a safe wholesome
environment to live and grow. The Facility will also have a
school which all the girls will be required to attend.
Donations are being accepted to help build this center. You may
donate specifically for this project.
Power Plant
Recognizing
the demand for the generation of electrical power and the need for
the disposal of vast quantities of municipal and biological solid
waste, World Safety Inc. is committed to bring turnkey municipal
and biological solid waste resource recovery power plants to Central
America.
World Safety Inc. and an association of
municipalities called CAPROBA plan to build a waste to energy power
plant and use the profits from the sale of electricity to fund
children programs in Costa Rica and Central America.
World
Safety Inc. has assembled a group of experienced and seasoned
executives, engineers and consultants to complete the municipal and
biological solid waste resource recovery power plant projects in
Central America. This group is dedicated and knowledgeable in all
areas associated with these projects including refuse handling;
collection and transportation; project management, contract
negotiations and administration; cost and scheduling; and
procurement and financial administration. The picture above right is of
landfill in the Providence of Alajuela, Costa Rica, which will be
cleaned up and used for a municipal
solid waste transfer station.
There
is a need in Central America to eliminate growing mounds of municipal
and biological solid waste, as well as the need to generate electricity.
Landfill space is running out and there is the environmental concern
over the health implications from many existing landfills around
Central America. In the developing countries of Central America
there is a growing need for electrical power that is required for
industrial growth in order to raise the living standards of their
residents. Our resource recovery power plants provide this much
needed energy while delivering important benefits of reducing the
municipal and biological solid waste as well as creating numerous
quality employment opportunities.
System Description
The system is a 10 mega watt
cogeneration plant that can use a variety of wastes including MSW
(Municipal Solid Waste). The system is designed for a regional
approach that addresses small cities and small countries in a
distributed design. When using MSW the system recycles approximately
18% of the waste and produces a compost able material (cellulosics)
from approximately 82% of the waste, which is used for energy
production for the plant supplying steam and electricity with an
excess of both sold to an industry or an electric utility.
Various
advantages of the MSW portion of the plant are:
- Reduces landfill
capacity by approximately 97%
- Eliminates
curbside recycling
- Recycles glass
into different colors for greater returns
- Recycles ferrous
metals and aluminum
- Recycles high
and low density plastics
- Uses sanitary
classification technology for sanitary separation and handling
- Automates
handling, separation, and deposit of recyclables and byproducts of
the cellulosics
- Reduces heavy
metal and dioxin concentration before combustion
- Recycles flue
gas for compliance with air quality standards
- Allows both
truck and personal dumping access
- Separates the
dumping area from the processing area
- Produces and
filters its own water
- Normally
provides returns on investment at a minimum of 26%
- Operational for
periods of 10 to 35 years (Project designed life cycle)
- Waste loads from
50 to 1200 tons/day and expandable
- Allows
additional waste types such a tires, construction debris,
agricultural wastes, forestry wastes, and a variety of industrial
wastes
- Produces all the
plant’s own energy needs
- Produces an
excess of marketable forms of energy such as heat, electricity,
and fuel particles
- Utilizes a well
proven and simple design for combustion
- Complies with or
is well below the most stringent environmental standards for
emissions
The
plant also has the capability to allow a number of other types of
wastes to be processed
with different shapes and moisture content. These other shapes are
either separated and manipulated for various other markets or can be
mixed after a size reduction if needed, along with MSW primarily for
energy production. A number of wastes from agriculture, forestry,
paper mills, and other industries that were prior land filled can now
be utilized by way of a unique machine in the plant that reduces the
moisture content and produces a particle of an optimum size for
combustion or marketing. Because each type of waste can be separately
handled and processed, it/they can be optimized for different markets.
Normally, all the wastes are separated after processing into separate
self-unloading containers so they can be extracted and possibly mixed
for the best market at any time to maintain a better return in capital
to the plant. If perhaps an energy issue is prominent then the
additional wastes can be routed around the MSW portion of the plant
and converted directly into fuel particles.
Various
advantages of the extra waste handling capability are:
Optimal compaction and consistent sizing of fuel and marketable
items
·
Increased capacity in shipping, approximately 25%
Reduction of shipping costs by the reduction of
weight (H20)
·
Longer storage life because of reduced moisture
·
Mixtures of marketable items
·
Capability to address previously unused wastes of high moisture
content
More
efficient moisture reduction technology
The extra capability to handle high moisture content wastes is a boon
to developing countries, a large number of which have the same
agricultural industries such as coffee, bananas, pineapple, rice,
etc., and whereas there is usually more than enough waste discarded by
those industries to provide energy to process or dry their products
for market.
