How TCP Works

Our thermal conversion process (TCP) breaks down chains of organic polymers into smaller units and reforms them into new combinations to produce renewable diesel fuel oil and specialty chemicals, like fertilizers. The process emulates the earth’s natural geothermal activity, which converts organic material into fossil fuels under conditions of extreme heat and pressure over millions of years. We mimic the earth’s process, using pipes and vessels and controlling temperature and pressure, to reduce the process from millions of years to mere hours. We do it without combustion, incineration or producing toxic residue.

What is really neat is the process is more than 80% energy efficient.

A limited number of government officials have provided some support but our energy and farm policies take front and center stage and the reality is new technologies are just not that important in the early stages of development. Very few congressional leaders find dealing with waste that important unless they are in highly populated states.

After the November elections, we belive efforts to turn waste to oil will become important.
