Sustainable Power Corp. can produce green jet fuel from municipal solid waste and other biomass material.
Testing on green jet fuel by an independent lab, AmSpec Services LLC, showed the product exceeded the specifications for traditional jet fuel and is a viable alternative.
A mixture of ten percent green jet fuel and ninety percent traditional jet fuel is just as effective and much cleaner for the environment than traditional jet fuel alone.
In a press release that was recently made public, Sustainable Power Corp. has announced that they can produce green jet fuel which can be used in planes as a replacement for part of the traditional jet fuel. This announcement can have far reaching implications, both for fossil fuel use in the future and the condition and shape of the environment. SSTP is a biofuel production company that uses an innovated patented technology called the Riviera process to create a biofuel called Vertroleum. This crude fuel can often be used in place of fossil oils or fuels because it contains the same hydrogen that crude oil from the ground does. This means the production of a green jet fuel which significantly lowers the carbon emissions released by the plane while in operation, and will also reduce smog, pollution, and particulates in the air that are harmful to the environment and atmosphere.
It is a fact that almost twenty billion gallons of jet fuel was used in a single year, 2007, and this amount may increase if the number of airlines and flights increases. Considering this information, Sustainable Power Corp. reached an agreement with an airline that is private and will not be disclosed. The airline replaced ten percent of their traditional fossil jet fuel with green jet fuel from Sustainable Power Corp. during their flights. The results were incredible, and independent testing of the combined fuels show that green jet fuel from SSTP is a viable alternative when mixed in this specified amount. The laboratory, AmSpec Services, LLC, has reached the conclusion that not only will green jet fuel from Sustainable Power Corp. replace some portion of traditional jet fuel, but Vertroleum can also be turned into more than sixty other fuels and products as well.
The Riviera process used by SSTP allows biomass to be cycled and turned into biofuel in eight minutes, and all biomass including municipal solid waste can be used for the process. This means that at some point in the future garbage from your home may power passenger airplanes through the skies. The testing done by AmSpec services gave results which show that the bio-jet fuel not only met the current jet fuel specifications but actually exceeded these specification. This proves that green jet fuel can be used to help lower the carbon footprint left on the planet, and eliminate pollution and greenhouse gases which contribute to global warming. Sustainable Power Corp. was only started in 2006, but the company has come a long way, and had a big impact on the environment and meeting energy needs. Even President Obama is aware of the enormous potential this company holds to meeting future energy needs without being dependent on foreign oil or limited fossil fuels.
Green jet fuel is just one more aspect of biofuel production that Sustainable Power Corp. excels at. This bio-jet fuel can be used to replace part of the traditional jet fuel in every passenger airplane, and possibly even military airplanes and jets which use traditional jet fuel to operate. This could have an enormous beneficial effect on the environment, ensuring that global warming is slowed and that pollution and harmful emissions are greatly minimized. The green jet fuel produced by SSTP can be created using any type of biomass, and this includes plants and municipal solid waste. This technology opens up an incredible array of possibilities for future air travel as well, in a way that does not harm the environment and uses renewable energy sources. Green jet fuel can solve two problems, eliminating solid municipal waste and providing a cleaner eco friendly alternative source of energy and fuel for airplanes.
Sustainable Power Corp. uses the Rivera process, a patented innovative process that offers many benefits in biofuel production and municipal solid waste management. The Rivera process was developed by inventor John H. Rivera, and can be used to turn any type of biomass, including algae biomass and woody biomass, into biogas and other alternative energy biofuels and products. The Rivera process is very fast and convenient, and municipal solid waste can be used for biofuel production, and completely finish the process in under eight minutes. Energy from municipal solid waste conversion provides clean burning energy sources, like biofuels, instead of using fossil fuels for energy. Fossil fuels are no longer a viable energy source for several reasons, and biofuel production and renewable alternative energy sources will be needed for future energy needs.
It takes fossil fuels thousands and millions of years to be replaced, and there is a very limited supply of these fuels left in the earth. Without viable replacements for these fuels there could be a disastrous energy crisis shortly in the future when fossil fuels run out. Sustainable Power Corp. is a leader when it comes to answering this question, and addressing the issue of municipal solid waste management at the same time. The Rivera process can convert hundreds of tons of municipal solid waste every day into biofuel for each conversion plant in operation. This will prevent traditional landfilling methods and land use for this waste. This allows garbage which is discarded and could become a problem, such as the garbage barge to nowhere that no one would accept, to become part of the renewable energy solution.
The Rivera process can use all types of biomass, and this includes municipal solid waste, woody biomass, algae biomass, and others, in biofuel production to produce three types of products. These products include biogas, biofuel, and biochar. This process creates fuels and gases which do not have large carbon emissions and do not contribute to global warming. The biochar produced during the Rivera process can be mixed with the soil to enrich it and act as a natural carbon sink to remove carbon from the air and environment. This is what makes Sustainable Power Corp. a leader and innovator in the green energy sector. The Rivera process means biofuels which are produced from municipal solid waste, reducing and eliminating carbon emissions which contribute to global warming and environmental damage. In addition, municipal solid waste management is much easier, eco-friendly, and efficient, and there is no need for extensive land use to hold this waste. There is also the food supply factor, with many countries upset because of the belief that biofuel causes food shortages. Biofuel production from municipal solid waste does not draw this controversy or criticism.
SSTP uses the innovative Rivera process because of the numerous benefits it offers. This process uses the latest cutting edge research and technology, combined with nano bacteria and other components, to greatly improve and speed up the biofuel production process. In less than eight minutes municipal solid waste, woody biomass, algae biomass, or any other type of biomass, can be turned into biofuel and biogas that has significant benefits over fossil fuels when it comes to environmental damage and carbon emissions. Sustainable Power Corp. and the Rivera process offers fabulous benefits when it comes to biofuel production and municipal solid waste management both.
Green energy provider Sustainable Power Corp. has made an announcement that their trademarked biogas, called Vertroleum, meets all the specifications and can be used to power Siemens’ combustion turbine generators. This product compatibility was made by Siemens Energy USA, and is an important announcement. The gas turbine generators made by Siemens are the largest made, and these generators are the ones most commonly used in electric generation facilities and power plants around the world, including the United States. Before this compatibility could be verified, a sample of Vertroleum was obtained and tested by AMSPEC. Based on these testing reports, the Sustainable Power Corp. product will work effectively to power Siemens combustion generators and produce electricity.
This product compatibility is a very important step for Sustainable Power Corp., because it proves that their biogas is a viable alternative energy option that can be used to generate electricity, instead of using fossil fuels like coal, which are commonly used now. Sustainable Power Corp. uses municipal waste to create biogas, which can then be used to power the Siemens turbines. Many waste to energy methods are not efficient, but the Riviera Process, developed and patented by John H. Riviera, is used by Sustainable Power Corp. to make this process ten times more efficient at a minimum. There are no disadvantages, and municipal waste is not a problem but a fuel source in this process. The applications of this process can produce many products in addition to the biogas, and is an excellent form of municipal waste management. Municipal waste is a sustainable power source, because tons of it are created every single day around the world. Using trash to generate electricity cleanly and efficiently means a domestically produced eco friendly source of energy that solves both energy and waste management needs.
Because of a global electricity dependence and need, electricity production is important. But what cost is too high? Using fossil fuels causes great damage to the earth, both through resource recovery and pollution. Municipal waste to energy methods that are efficient and protect the environment may very well be the main energy source of the future, and the most common fuel used for electricity production. Fossil fuels are a limited resource that is being depleted very rapidly and will soon run out. Using an efficient biogas like Vertroleum®, which uses municipal waste as a source of sustainable power that is at least ten times more efficient than other waste to energy methods, may very well be the answer to the energy needs of the future. This puts Sustainable Power Corp. in the unique position of holding a patent on the most effective process available to turn municipal waste into a renewable and sustainable power source.
Sustainable Power Corp. is leading the alternative energy charge into the clean energy future, and the company is poised on the edge of what could be enormous growth. The power offered is domestically produced, will benefit local economies, and is very friendly to the environment. Best of all, it does not use fossil fuels, which will continue to rise in price as they become more scarce. If the future of energy is municipal waste, then Sustainable Power Corp. will be in a very enviable position as an industry leader. As an international provider of green energy, this is one company that may be going sky high when fossil fuels are completely gone, if it does not reach those heights before that point. Sustainable Power Corp.’s patented process and technology may end up paving the way to a much brighter future for the entire world.
Independent laboratory testing shows that Sustainable Power Corp. has done it again. SSTP has provided samples of the patented biocrude Vertroleum produced by the company using the patented Riviera process to the independent testing company AmSpec Services LLC. The samples provided by SSTP were analyzed at laboratories used by AmSpec and a letter and copy of the analysis results were sent to Sustainable Power Corp. and dated June 9th, 2008. In the letter the testing laboratory shows results and determines that the biocrude provided by SSTP can be refined to produce environmentally friendly, or green, components that can be combined with traditional gasoline to lower carbon emissions and minimize pollution and damage to the environment.
The samples tested were taken from the Sustainable Power Corp. facility and plant in Baytown, Texas, and these samples were determined by AmSpec to have properties which are very similar in structure and chemical makeup to materials that are utilized in the current gasoline blend stocks, ones that are currently used to create the gasoline available on the market. The chairman of SSTP, John H. Riviera, commented that the independent analysis proves that the all green biocrude produced by the company is a renewable fuel source, and one that can be a viable alternative to crude oils and fuels which are petroleum based. This discovery can be a big benefit when oil prices rise and fossil fuels become scarce. The world has already seen four dollar a gallon or more gas prices at the pump, and when fossil fuels become more scarce this price may seem cheap.
The patented Riviera process used by Sustainable Power Corp. can produce the components of green gasoline, and this can be done using municipal waste and other biomass materials, and waste to energy conversion. Biofuel production using the Riviera process can mean more efficient ways of producing bio-crude oil and green gasoline, from a number of different biomass feedstocks and materials. The bio-crude chemical makeup includes more than twenty nine percent parrafins, almost twenty percent olefins, more than twenty two percent napthas, and more than twenty two percent aromatics. This is almost identical to petroleum based crude oil, making it the perfect beginning base for the green gasoline refinery process.
The Riviera process used t create biocrude and green gasoline uses biomass materials that do not come from any food chain or food supply. This means there is no concern about food shortages or people starving from hunger. This biofuel production method can use municipal solid waste or other discarded biomass materials that are not based on commodities. Marketable green biogasoline would be competitively priced, and cost less than traditional petroleum based fuels during times of high demand and problems with supply. This would allow consumers to see savings at the pump, and green gasoline would have no problem meeting and even exceeding environmental guidelines and regulations concerning quality and pollution. Waste to energy biofuel production addresses more than one issue, so that this process can eliminate discarded municipal solid waste while producing green gasoline and other biofuels that are friendly to the environment. These fuels minimize carbon emissions, pollutants, and other harmful components released into the air. Sustainable Power Corp. has proven once more that when it comes to biofuel production and innovative energy solutions, they are the leader for a very good reason. Green gasoline can play a big part in a cleaner environment and better future for the entire world, as well as ending the fossil fuel and foreign oil dependence once and for all.
Sustainable Power Corp. has made an agreement with Amecks, Inc., in which Amecks, Inc has agreed to provide municipal solid waste that is compacted and in pellet form to be used in the reactors of Sustainable Power Corp. The agreement calls for three hundred tons of this municipal solid waste product to be delivered daily, which will then be used in the Sustainable Power Corp. reactors to produce electricity, biofuels, and biogas. This is a good deal for the company, because Sustainable Power Corp. will receive thirty five dollars a ton for the waste they take, which is then used as fuel to generate electricity. In addition, they do not have to purchase feedstock for their incinerators; instead they are paid to accept this feedstock. Amecks, Inc gets a good deal on waste disposal, because they are in the waste management and removal service, and must dispose of the waste collected during the course of business.
Is waste to energy really effective though? Different waste to energy methods vary in efficiency and energy requirements, as well as energy produced. Sustainable Power Corp. uses the Rivera process, which is a highly efficient process developed by John H. Riviera. This allows Sustainable Power Corp. to produce ten times as much electricity as a municipal solid waste incinerator can, as well as many other products in the process. Three hundred tons of municipal waste daily can go a long way towards cleaning up the earth and preventing more unsightly landfills, but what are the disadvantages of this waste to energy method? There are no disadvantages that I can see. The electricity generated by Sustainable Power Corp. does not cause any pollution or greenhouse gas emissions, there are no dangerous or toxic gases or chemicals used or created during the process, and all the products created can be sold or used to generate electricity and provide for the needs of the energy plant. Municipal solid waste is considered renewable, because more of it is discarded every single day of the year. The agreement with Amecks, Inc. will provide all of the feedstock needed for
Sustainable Power Corp. to make electricity cleanly and efficiently.
Sustainable Power Corp. is a total service provider of green energy around the world. This company seems to have revolutionized the waste to energy sector, with a new method that is more efficient than traditional waste to energy incineration plants, with no pollution or other disadvantages. Not only does this company have the capability of eliminating three hundred million tons of municipal solid waste every day, they have a win-win situation. Sustainable Power Corp. gets paid to take the waste, and they save because they do not need to purchase feedstock for the incinerators because the waste is used. Waste to energy programs may be the energy sources of the future, and Sustainable Power Corp. is at the forefront with one of the most efficient waste to energy methods anywhere.
Waste disposal and foreign oil and energy dependence are problems that must be solved, and it seems like Sustainable Power Corp. can solve both problems with a single solution. Landfills are overflowing with garbage, and electricity prices are continuously rising due to fossil fuels becoming scarcer, making them more costly and harder to recover. Turning municipal solid waste to electricity in the most efficient and effective method possible is the most viable option to minimize the number of landfills and their levels, and domestically produce the electricity needed to heat and power homes. Sustainable Power Corp. does this with no pollution or harmful effects on the environment, so this company may have a very bright future.
Sustainable Power Corp. has made public claims that it takes less than nine minutes to turn municipal solid waste, also known as trash, into gas using new waste to energy technology. In addition, the gas created was tested at an independent lab to determine the quality and components. The lab, AmSpec, collected the gas from the Baytown, Texas, Sustainable Power Corp. plant and then took it to the lab to be tested using a Gas Chromatograph. The tests confirm what the companies claims, that their trademarked biogas Vertroleum® made from municipal solid waste has no carbon monoxide at all, and has the energy capacity to power the largest turbines in the world.
Most waste to energy conversion methods have several disadvantages. If small waste to energy conversion plants are used, they are not usually very efficient because of the energy needed just to operate the plant. The biofuel production may cause fly-ash, which can have toxic metals like lead or cadmium in it, from the incineration or refining process. If the fuel produced has a lower heat content, it may actually contribute more to global warming than traditional fossil fuels do. Some waste to energy conversions plants may have harmful emissions including furans and dioxins, depending on the type of municipal solid waste used and whether it has been sorted. After doing extensive research, I can not find any of these disadvantages with the waste to energy conversion process used by Sustainable Power Corp. This company uses a new patented process called the Rivera process, named after John H. Rivera who invented it. The process is similar to gas pyrolysis, but is many times more effective and environmentally friendly. Because of this process, even small waste to energy conversion plants operated by Sustainable Power Corp. will be highly efficient. There is no flyash produced, and the fuel produced has a high energy content. There are no harmful emissions either, as shown by independent testing.
The biogas produced from municipal solid waste using the Riviera process is called Vertroleum®. This biogas may prove to be one of the energy sources for the world in the future. The advanced technology used by Sustainable Power Corp. has produced a number of products that can replace fossil fuels, and eliminate environmental damage and pollution. Vertroleum® offers many benefits over traditional gasoline or diesel fuels, to the environment and the global population. The fact that Sustainable Power Corp. can turn municipal solid waste into biogas in under nine minutes is amazing, and could solve two problems at once. The earth is being polluted by municipal solid waste, landfills are overflowing, and waste management is becoming more complex. In addition, the dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil must end, because the earth is becoming polluted, global warming is increasing, and fossil fuels are quickly becoming depleted and can not be replaced. Foreign oil also poses political and supply problems. Sustainable Power Corp. has come up with a solution that solves these problems, and has the ability to avert an energy crisis when fossil fuels run out. Waste to energy conversion plants are going to play a large role in the energy future, for both waste management and energy needs. Sustainable Power Corp. is poised to be right in the middle of this future with their new alternative energy technology, and their ability to meet global energy needs.
Claims made by Sustainable Power Corp state that fossil fuels will not be needed for the generation of electricity, and that another source of sustainable power will be used instead, in the form of municipal waste. This makes many people, including me, skeptical. There are many municipal waste to energy plants in operation, and each has disadvantages. Some of these plants are not very efficient, using just as much or more energy during the process as they create. This is counter productive, because there is little or no net energy gain. Many times the biogas or other biofuel products produced are low heat energy fuels, so they are not very effective either. In addition, many municipal waste to energy plants still cause pollutions and toxins to be released into the air, as well as fly-ash which can contain heavy metals that can accumulate in the body.
There is a global dependence on electricity, and many times this electricity is generated using coal and other fossil fuels, which does great environmental damage and relies on a limited natural resource that can not be replaced. Alternative energy sources are needed for the generation of electricity, to end the dependence on fossil fuels and foreign energy sources like oil, and that seems to be what SSTP is offering. But is it too good to be true, and what are the disadvantages? If it can be done, then why hasn’t another waste to energy plant already operating done it before now? The answer that I found concerns the innovative new technology and patented process that is used by the company to turn municipal waste into a biogas called Vertroleum®, which is then used to power generators that generate electricity from the biogas. The patented process is called the Riviera process, and it is quite similar to gas pyrolysis, only much more effective. Sustainable Power Corp. has used advanced technology to create a municipal waste to energy conversion process which is ten times more efficient and effective as the usual waste to energy incineration plants. This means a much higher electricity generation potential. The Riviera process has much less pollution than other waste to energy methods, which is another benefit because it is a lot more eco friendly.
So who is Sustainable Power Corp., and what are the disadvantages of their municipal waste to energy conversion process? Sustainable Power Corp. was started in 2006, and provides green energy sources internationally. The focus of the company is environmentally safe energy generation, and the company has made great strides in this direction since it was started. The process used to create energy and biofuels from municipal waste, the patented Riviera process, is a significant advancement in alternative energy technology and is extremely efficient. It has much lower pollution and emission levels, it produces high heat fuels, there is a large net energy gain, there is no flyash or toxins released, no water is wasted, and the biomass used in the process is municipal waste and not food feedstock. This eliminates the controversy that occurs over most biofuels, because they are made with corn, soybeans, and other feedstock that could be used in the food chain instead. I can not find any disadvantages to this municipal waste to energy conversion process, or the resulting biogas and electricity generation. With fossil fuels being depleted rapidly, waste to energy programs which are efficient and minimize pollution will become an important alternative energy source in the future. Sustainable Power Corp. appears to be in the lead in this industry, and may play a big part in supplying the global energy needs of the future.
This guided tour will take you to one of the SSTP plants, the sustainable power plant in Baytown, Texas. John Rivera is the inventor of the Rivera Process that is implemented in the SSTP renewable fuel power plants. I'm going to take you through and show you how the system works. It takes municipal garbage, municipal solid waste and turns it into good burnable fuel to generate electricity.
Lab is in the build-up stage at this time.
This is a supply for the feedstock. And you can use a variety of feedstocks, solid and municipal wastes.
The feedstock comes in at this point and goes through a series of valves to maintain the pressure or vacuum in the system. It's loaded at one valve opens and the other valve closes. Feedstock travels up this auger system, fuel-loading system to the main reactor, and enters through another gate system at this point.
The hot gasified feed exhausts from the end of the reactor and goes into a series of particle separators. And at this point much of the solid contamination is removed. The hot gas is then proceeded to be bubbled through a separator, condenser that condenses the hot gases back to about 400 degrees and extracts the heavy component of the oil. What we call Fat1 oil.
Also at the exhaust end of the reactor through a gate-valve system the char – remaining component of the feedstock and has been completely reduced to a carbon-based fertilizer. It is extracted at this point and taken to the outside storage area by the auger tube and the lower component.
Here is the number two reactor is being constructed. You can see the heat bands from one end to the other of it. And it is about 100%, very close – 95% of construction is completed at this point. And than the insulating sections will be installed over the top of this heat bands. As the feedstock moves down the reactor tube, it reaches the temperature of 700 degrees and then rises on to about 750 degrees as it proceeds down the tube.
And the last stage: in this tube the fuel is cooled back down to 650 degrees – at that point.
The gas is coming from the number 1 condenser. Comes out the 4–inch pipe through the valve above these tanks. And at that point it goes through the Number 2 condenser. The horizontal tube here, condenses the light oil.
Our Number 2 cut is stored in these tanks that are shown below and then transported by the 300-gallon bunkers at this time and during build-up phase of the plant. At a later date they will be pipe-lined into much larger tanks.
Ok, we are lighting up the fuel produced by the reactor. And you can see how much energy
is in it. How well it does burn. So there is a lot of useful energy there. That is really going good.
We've been able to run today the diesel engines – Caterpillar diesel on this fuel. Straight of the reactor. A mix of one-quarter heavy and three-quarter light. The Caterpillar engine fueled by the products of the reactor runs like a top! We have just recently started the production, so far 7000 gallons have already been sold and the plant is working every day.
