The Full Story
SYNERGY CONVERSION
From a global perspective, 44% of our waste ends up in landfills, that's 2.2 Billions tons of waste Landfills generate 3.2 metrics tons of CO2 per metric ton of waste.
We incinerate 25% of our waste.
​
Only 13% of waste is recycled, and of that, 79% is landfilled. The 'last kilo' of mixed waste, found in recycling, including mixed plastics, waxed papers, contaminated / soiled products, cannot be recycled and end up being disposed.
Synergy Conversion processes 'last kilo' mixed wastes, various wastes that cannot be recycled and end up in landfills, reducing the waste by 80% by volume and 50% by weight. The processed by-product is inert, virus & bacteria free and, in select cases, can be utilized in post processed applications.
THE CONVERTER® DEPLOYS A PATENTED MECHANICAL PROCESS WHICH UTILISES THE HEAT, GENERATED BY THE SHREDDING ACTION OF THE BLADES, TO TRANSFORM THE WASTE INTO AN INERT, STERILE, BACTERIA FREE END PRODUCT.
​
The Synergy Process is unlike any other technology. The Synergy Conversion System IS NOT pyrolysis, an autoclave, plasma gasification or hydrothermal carbonization or liquification, if is not anaerobic digestion or incineration. What it IS is a mechanical system that generates heat simply through mechanical friction without the use of natural gas or electrical heating.

Comparing
SYNERGY CONVERSION
to other options.
The system utilises no external heat sources, no electrical heater bands or natural gas. The average electrical consumption of the system is .5kwh/kg and the average cycle is 30 minutes.
​
The final product is as much as 50% lighter and 80% the volume of the initial preprocessed weight. At the of the cycle the material is inert, free of any bacteria.
​
The Converter® is a risk-free technology. It allows you to treat waste on site and it does not use chemicals, high pressure, combustion, or microwaves to do so. The system is emission free both for wastewater and gases.
​
The Converter® is used extensively to process 'last kilo' wastes and achieve zero to landfill.
​
STEP 1 WASTE LOADING
The waste is loaded inside the chamber, either losely or in (plastic/paper) bags and the lid is closed.
​​
STEP 2 CRUSHING
The rotor starts and accelerates gradually, as the material is finely ground and the temperature rises quickly to about 100 °C.
​
STEP 3 EVAPORATION
The heat generated by friction in the material causes the evaporation of the waste moisture and the temperature remains firm at around 100°C.
​
STEP 4 SUPERHEATING
Once all the moisture has been eliminated, the frictional heat causes the temperature of the material to increase to 151°C.
​
STEP 5 STERILIZATION OR PASTORIZATION
The temperature of the material is held firm at 151°C for 3 minutes, under moist heat conditions through controlled water dosage.
​
STEP 6 COOLING DOWN
The waste is sprinkled with water in order to lower the temperature of the material to about 100°C. A vacuum pump then lowers the temperature further down to 60°C adiabatically.
​
STEP 7 UNLOADING IN VACUUM BAG
The treated material is unloaded by centrifugal force through the opening of a servo-operated valve positioned at the bottom of the treatment chamber.
