  1. ThermoChem, Inc., Columbia, MD (United States)
Manufacturing and Technology Conversion International, Inc. (MTCI) has developed a novel technology to convert organic wastes including municipal solid waste (MSW) and wastewater sludges into usable syngas by steam reforming in an indirectly heated, fluid-bed reactor. MTCI has licensed and patented the technology to ThermoChem, Inc. Both MTCI and ThermoChem have built two modular commercial-scale demonstration units: one for recycle paper mill rejects (similar to refuse-derived fuel [RDF]), and another for chemical recovery of black liquor. ThermoChem is ready to adapt this technology to the municipal market.
